Dear PAO,

I inherited a parcel of land located in Balanga, Bataan. My grandfather used to tell me stories about the World War II artifacts he and his best friend, Fernando, found when they tilled the land that I inherited. After my grandfather's death, Fernando requested to conduct treasure hunting on the land, which I refused. Now, I heard from our neighbor that Fernando plans to conduct treasure-hunting activities on my land while I am away. Can Fernando legally claim any treasures he might find during a treasure-hunting activity on my lot without my knowledge and consent?
