distributed lands by issuing Royal Grants and concessions to discoverers,
settlers, vassals and other varied forms. Because of these grants and
concessions, titles to land were acquired by the respective grantees.

the reclamation of Manila Bay.

owners of the appropriate documents transferring ownership to another.
