Jagualing vs. Eduave: Land Ownership Dispute by Trisha Paola Tangan is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This case involves a dispute over ownership of an island between the Jagualing family, who had possessed the land since 1969, and the Eduave family, who claimed ownership since 1949. The trial court ruled in favor of Jagualing, finding that the island was formed by changes to the riverbed during a typhoon and was unowned public land. However, the Court of Appeals overturned this, finding that the island was formed by natural river processes and awarded ownership to Eduave under Article 463 of the Civil Code
