| There is no dispute that the subject lot is classified as alienable and disposable land of the public domain. The Report[10] dated January 17, 2000 of the Bureau of Lands stated that the subject lot is "within the alienable and disposable zone as classified under Project 50 L.C. Map No. 698 and released and classified as such on November 21, 1927."[11] This finding is, likewise, embodied in the Report[12] dated January 7, 1999 of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources Community Environment and Natural Resources Office (DENR-CENRO) and the blue print Copy[13] of the plan covering the subject lot. However, petitioner failed to prove that he or his predecessors-in-interest have been in open, continuous, exclusive and notorious possession and occupation of the subject lot since June 12, 1945 or earlier. | |||||
