I started to read the decision of the United States Supreme Court on the case filed by Mateo Carino against the Insular Government for not recognizing his title over 146 hectares of land in the Province of Benguet.
I have not yet finished reading the same so I will not write much about it, except the following points that I have understood so far. One, the Spanish government refused to have the land registered during their time because they have not yet determined the areas they need for government purposes.
Two, the Solicitor General who argued against Carino’s application admitted that Benguet was a Province occupied by a savage tribe that was never brought under control by the civil or military government of the Spanish Crown.
I will tell you more about this next issue. Until then. btpistola
