    Mateo Cariño filed a petition for registration of title to a 40-hectare parcel of land in Baguio, Benguet. The Insular Government opposed the petition, arguing that the land was public property belonging to the state. The court of land registration ruled in favor of the government, finding that the land had been used for pasture and sowing and belonged to the class of public land. On appeal, the Supreme Court upheld the lower court's ruling, finding that under the law, land of common origin is presumed to belong to the state, and Cariño had not provided sufficient evidence of cultivation or possession for the required period to overcome this presumption.

    Carino v. Insular Government, 212 U.S.

    449,1909

    Facts:
    Mateo Cariño filed his petition in the Court of Land Registration for a
    title to a parcel of land consisting of 40 hectares, 1 are, and 13
    centares in Baguio, Benguet. This was heard with a petition for a title
    for a portion of the land. He applied for the registration of a certain
    land. There was no document of title issued for the land when he
    applied for registration. The government contends that the land in
    question belonged to the state and is public property.

    The Insular Government opposed the granting of these petitions,


    because they alleged that the whole parcel of land is public property of
    the Government and that the same was never acquired in any manner
    or through any title of egresion from the State. According to Carino, in
    1884, he built and utilized as a domicile a house on the property.

    The court of land registration ruled against their favor. They also ruled
    that it was used for pasture and sowing, and now belongs to the class
    called public land.

    Issue:
    Whether or not Carino has ownership over the land

    Ruling:
    No, Under the provisions of law, a parcel of land being of common
    origin, presumptively belonged to the State during its sovereignty. The
    land has been in an uninterrupted state of cultivation for more than 10
    years and has been in a state of cultivation up to the date of the
    information and during the three years immediately preceding such
    information; or that such land had been possessed openly without
    interruption during a period of thirty or more years, notwithstanding the
    land had not been cultivated then his petition can be favored.
