Naku, po.

Mahirap po na bibili kayo ng lupa mula sa mga taong hindi naman nag-ma-may-ari nito. Una po, kung minana po nila ito, baka po may iba pang tagapag-mana bukod sa kanila, eh, hindi ninyo malalaman hanggang sa idemanda na kayo.

Pangalawa, ang tax declaration po ay hindi proof of ownership. Hindi po kailanman maipaparehistro ang lupa sa pangalan ninyo kung ang hawak po ninyo ay tanging tax declaration laman. At lalo namang hindi mai-lilipat sa inyo ng mga "may-ari" ng lupa ang kanilang karapatan kung ang tanging prueba nila ng kanilang pag-ma-may-ari ng lupa ay tax declaration lamang.

Pangatlo, kailangan pong makita ninyo kung may Original Certificate of Title ang lupa. Sinabi ninyo na farm land ito. Maaari po kasing ang mga taong iyan, eh, nag-hawan ng dating forest or timber land, pinutol ang mga pungong kahoy, sinunog ito, at saka sinaka ng mahabang panahon. Pero, kung hindi po idineklara ng gobyerno na agricultural land iyan, at nasa ilalim pa siya ng classification ng timberland or forest, hindi po kailanman puedeng maging subject of private ownership ang timberland at forestland.

Pang-apat, kailangan din ninyong siguraduhin na hindi ito sakop ng agrarian reform, or kahit na anong patent. kasi po, kung ito ay sumasailalim sa isang patent, tanging mga patent holder lamang ang puedeng mag-pa-titulo nito.

Para mapanatag kayo, kailangan ninyong pumunta sa isang abogado. kailangan ay ipa-check ninyo kung sino ang talagang nag-ma-may-ari ng lupa bago ninyo ito bilhin dahil sa baka mabili ninyo ito sa mga impostor na walang karapatan na ito'y ipag-bili. Masangkot pa kayo sa kasuhan. Sakit ng ulo po ito. Bakit po hindi kayo pumunta sa Public Attorney's Office? Humingi kayo ng payo mula sa mga abogado doon?
