VSD Realty & Development v. Uniwide Sales, Inc.

684 SCRA 470


July 31, 2013

Doctrine:
 Article 434 of the Civil Code provides that to successfully maintain an action to recover the ownership of a real
property, the person who claims a better right to it must prove two things: first, the identity of the land claimed
and second, his title thereto.

Facts:
 VSD Realty filed a Complaint for annulment of title and recovery of possession of property against Uniwide
and Baello with the RTC of Caloocan. It sought the nullification of TCT in the name of Baello and the recovery
of possession of property that is being occupied by Uniwide by virtue of a contract of lease with Dolores Baello.
 VSD alleged that it is the registered owner of a parcel of land in Caloocan. It allegedly bought the property
from Felisa Bonifacio, whose title thereto was registered by virtue of an Order authorizing the segregation of
the same. It also alleged that Baello’s title covering the same property is spurious and can only be the result
of falsification and illegal machinations, and has no legal basis to establish any right over the subject property.
 The trial court rendered a decision in favor of VSD Realty. It held that the lot was purchased by Felisa Bonifacio
who became the owner thereof by virtue of her petition for segregation of the subject property. It also found
that the technical description in Baello’s title is not the same as the technical description in VSD’s title.
 The CA reversed and set aside the decision of the RTC and dismissed the complaint
 SC agreed with the decision of the RTC.
 Baello filed MR as she discovered new evidence which established that VSD’s TCT cannot be traced to the
legitimate and authentic OCT. Hence, title is null and void

Issue/s:
1. WON VSD is entitled to recover possession of the subject property

Held:
Case is remanded to the CA for further proceedings

Ratio
 Article 434 of the Civil Code provides that to successfully maintain an action to recover the ownership of a real
property, the person who claims a better right to it must prove two things: first, the identity of the land claimed
and second, his title thereto.
 Considering that there is an issue on the validity of the title of VSD, which title is alleged to be traceable to
OCT No. 994, which mother title was held to be inexistent, in the interest of justice, and to safeguard the
correct titling of properties, a remand is proper to determine which of the parties derived valid title therefrom.
