Decision 5 G.R. No. 201273 The CA also ruled that the record shows that the Republic was aware of Resolutfon No. 060-2009-AL as early as 2009 but it only filed the petition for certior11ri on November 25, 2010. The Rules of Court is explicit that a petition under Rule 65 should be filed not later than 60 days from notice. When the Republic filed the petition for certiorari on November 25,2010, the period to file a Rule 65 petition has already expired. 13 The CA also ruled that for it to rule on the propriety of Resolution No. 060-2009-AL and the validity of the Certificate of Ancestral Land Title (CALT) and OCT, it would have to appreciate and calibrate evidence, which is not the function of a petition for certiorari under Rule 65 .14 It found that it would be misplaced to attack and rule on the validity of the proceedings of the NCIP and on the CALT and OCT in a petition for certiorari. 15 The dispositive portion of the CA Decision states: WHEREFORE, the appeal is DISMISSED. The assailed Orders of the Regional Trial Court of Baguio City in Civil Case No. 7200-R are AFFIRMED.
