Parcel A is described as 'Mining Lands, Public Domain' and is located in the municipality of San Nicolas, Province of Pangasinan. The land remains in the public domain and has not been classified as alienable and disposable. Owner O sells Parcel A to Buyer P by a deed of sale. P immediately applies for registration under Presidential Decree No. 1529, as amended. (a) Identify the central doctrine governing non-registrable properties and determine whether Parcel A is registrable under the Land Registration Decree. (b) Explain the effect of O’s sale to P and of P’s registration attempt on Parcel A’s title status and on possible third-party encumbrances. (c) If the government later classifies Parcel A as alienable and disposable, outline the lawful mechanism to dispose of the land and how that would affect the rights of O, P, and any third parties.
