What is Baguio Land Dispute: Jurisdiction Ruling about?

The case of *Bernadette S. Bilag et al. vs. Estela Ay-Ay et al.* involves a dispute over land ownership in Baguio City, where the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the petitioners, stating that the Regional Trial Court lacked jurisdiction over the case as the lands were part of the public domain. The Court emphasized that jurisdiction over public lands falls under administrative agencies, not regular courts, and that actions for quieting of title require legal title, which cannot apply to public domain lands.
