The law governing adverse possession in the Philippines states that if you possess a parcel of land for a period of time, you own it. However, in the Philippines, this possession must be public land and it had to be in possession of the "squatter" prior to June 12, 1945.
Since adverse possession must be exclusive, the time stops running whenever the squatter's (adverse possessor's) possession is interrupted. This can be even as simple as having a picnic table installed on the disputed land.

Adverse possession allows a person to gain legal ownership of a property by openly using it without the owner's permission for a certain period of time. When a new owner acquires a property, they may be at risk of losing ownership if someone else can prove adverse possession occurred before the new owner took possession.
According to the information at the link provided below there are three ways to claim adverse possession. If the claim is based on a recorded written document and the claimant has paid property taxes on the property, the claimant must have maintained possession for seven years. If the claim is based on an inaccurate written document but the claimant did not pay taxes, the time period for maintaining possession is 10 years. If no documents are involved and the adverse possessor has not paid property taxes on the property, then the time period for maintaining possession is 20 years (Sec. 893.25-893.32). Title by adverse possession must be established by a court decree.
