Authority (NHA) and the Human Settlement
Regulatory Commission (HSRC) that a water
facility is available in the subdivision. The said
water facility has been the only source of water of
the residents for thirty (30) years.
In September 1995, Marcelo sold Lot 11,
Block 5 to Hermogenes Liwag. As a result,
Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) No. C-350099
was issued to the latter. In 2003, Hermogenes
died.

Use Regulatory Board against T. P. Marcelo
Realty Corporation, petitioner and the surviving
heirs of Hermogenes.

Held:
The Court held that he has none. Article 420 of
the Civil Code provides that government land
cannot be subject of commerce nor can be
burdened by any voluntary easement.
Therefore, petitioner cannot claim his right of
way over the land under possession by
respondents. Also, he cannot use accion
publiciana as a remedy to obtain a right of
way. However, he can have a claim against
respondents on the portion already conveyed to
him by the government.
