Property right of way quesiton
The land my wife and I purchased and built a house was originally platted based on a provincial road. The provincial road was straightened and our property is no longer directly on the new road. Do we have a legal claim to an access right of way along the original lines? The property is in: San Jose, Libona, Bukidnon, Philippines
