    The document outlines the 12 steps involved in the judicial land registration process in the Philippines. It begins with a survey of the land by a licensed surveyor. Next, a petition is filed in court, followed by a notice of initial hearing being published and mailed. If there are any oppositions, a hearing is held where the petitioner must prove various elements. If successful, a judgment is issued and finalized. The Land Registration Authority then issues a decree of registration and certificate of title, which is sent to the Registry of Deeds for registration and delivery of a duplicate title to the owner.
