    The Republic opposed the registration of title of a parcel of land sold by Valiente to Spouses Castuera. While the trial court and appellate court approved the registration, the Supreme Court ruled the approval was erroneous. Specifically, the Court held that a CENRO certification alone is insufficient to prove the land is alienable and disposable, requiring instead a certification directly from the DENR Secretary classifying the land as such.

    REPUBLIC v. SPS.

    CASTUERA
    G.R. No. 203384; January 14, 2015
    FACTS:
    Valiente sold a parcel of land to Sps. Castuera. Spouses Castuera filed with the RTC an
    application for original registration of title over the property which was granted by the
    RTC for they have shown preponderantly that they are the lawful owners in fee simple
    and thus entitled to judicial confirmation of their imperfect title on said land, but was
    opposed by the Solicitor General alleging that CENRO certification is not enough to certify
    that a land is alienable and disposable. CA affirmed RTCs decision on appeal, subsequent
    MR was denied.
    ISSUE:
    WON the advance plan and the CENRO certification are insufficient proofs of the alienable
    and disposable character of the property.
    HELD:
    The petition is meritorious. The advance plan and the CENRO certification are insufficient
    proofs of the alienable and disposable character of the property. The Spouses Castuera,
    as applicants for registration of title, must present a certified true copy of the DENR
    Secretarys declaration or classification of the land as alienable and disposable.
