Wherefore: -Judgment was rendered in favor of the Plaintiff and against the Defendants -TCTs No
Wherein: -Both Plaintiff and Defendants are claiming a parcel of land in Quezon City (North Fairview if I remember correctly), each backed with different certificates of title -The Defendants’ TCTs are proven to be in derogation of Act 496 and PD 1529 as corresponding Decree Nos. shows land registration cases in other provinces -The Plaintiff’s claim is proven supported by both testimonial and documentary evidence
You may wonder how such case is relevant to what we have been discussing
SC Rulings mentioned: -Pilar Dev’t Corp vs Court of Appeals reiterated its ruling in Stilianopulos vs The City of Legaspi re: evidence or set of facts used in a complaint for quieting of title is the same as that which is necessary for its annulment -Dionisio Manaquil, et. al. vs Roberto Moico G.R. No. 180076 () re: for an action to quiet title to prosper, two indispensable requisites must concur: 1) Complainant/Plaintiff must have a legal or equitable title to or interest in the real property subject of the action 2) The deed, claim, encumbrance, or proceeding claimed to be casting cloud on the complainant’s title must be shown to be in fact invalid or inoperative despite its prima facie appearance of validity or legal efficacy
