Maynilagro Cooperative (MGC), a primary cooperative organized under RA 9520, has by‑laws expressly authorizing it to acquire, hold, and convey real property for its purposes, including land to be used for a community store, training center, and member farming plots. It purchases a 14-hectare agricultural land, and the title is proposed to be issued in the name of MGC. The cooperative is CDA‑registered and compliant with all formalities. A member challenges the arrangement, arguing that cooperatives under RA 9520 may not own land in their own name and that land must be titled in the name of a natural person or a Filipino‑owned corporation. (a) Identify the controlling doctrinal rule on whether a cooperative organized under RA 9520 may acquire and own land in its own name or through a separate Filipino‑owned corporate vehicle closely controlled by the cooperative. (b) Distinguish the capacity of cooperatives to own land from that of other corporate forms under the Constitution and RA 9520. (c) Apply the doctrine to MGC: is the land ownership valid? If valid, what are the implications under Article 16 on dissolution; if not, what remedies are available?
