CARPIO MORALES, J.
Under Article 370[51] of the Spanish Civil Code of 1889 which took effect in the Philippines on December 7, 1889,[52] the beds of rivers which remain abandoned because the course of the water has naturally changed belong to the owners of the riparian lands throughout their respective lengths. If the abandoned bed divided estates belonging to different owners, the new dividing line shall run at equal distance therefrom.[53]
