LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
The Court of Appeals cited Republic v. Court of Appeals and Cosalan,[23] wherein the Court declared that despite the general rule that forest lands cannot be appropriated by private ownership, it had been previously held that while the government has the right to classify portions of public land, the primary right of a private individual who possessed and cultivated the land in good faith much prior to such classification must be recognized and should not be prejudiced by after-events which could not have been anticipated.
