Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In land registration cases, an oppositor can seek affirmative relief, such as being declared the owner of the land in question, provided they can present evidence to substantiate their claim of interest over the property. This principle was affirmed in the case of City of Manila v. Lock, where the court recognized the right of an oppositor to seek such relief if they can prove their interest in the land being registered.
