This afternoon, December 27, 2008, after having luch in san Jose town, here in Negros Oriental, my father took us to a piece of beach lot he bought years ago in Sibulan town.Sibulan is the next town north of Dumaguete City.We call this the Paloma property because it was once before, the site of a popular beach frequented by bathers called La Paloma.He wanted to show us the progress on the beach

I am delighted after receiving earlier this week, a resolution by the Supreme Court which upheld its earlier decision in a case I handled.I represented a client, a buyer of a condominium unit in Metro Manila.We filed a complaint with the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board after we found out that the land where the condominium building was constructed, was mortgaged to a bank without written

I am in Cebu today, October 24, 2008.I took the morning flight from Manila, and in a couple of minutes will be hopping on a return flight.I attended a hearing, a land dispute among relatives.The land is located in Daanbantayan Cebu.But our hearing is in the Provincial Environment and anatural Resources Office.My clients' predescessors own the land, having bought is in 1920.However, in 1980, some

An adverse claim is a legal remedy for any person who may have a stake or claim upon registered property.A person who has a claim upon a certain real property will make a sworn statement and file it with the register of deeds.The register of deeds will inscribe the claim in the title so that the entire world will be informed that there is a person making a claim over a certain property.The

I just got my real estate broker ID.It is issued by the Department of Trade and Industry, particularly the Bureau of Trade Regulation and Consumer Protection.In Makati City, the Department of Trade is a major department that is located in various buildings along Jupiter Street. So it quite confusing, if you don't know your way around.There is a DTI office along Jupiter Street, and another in a

Last Friday, I attended two court hearings, both of them relating to real estate.In one case, I am acting as legal counsel of a mortgagor, owner of a land whose land has been foreclosed.I am asking the court to annul the mortgage.My client's contention is that the bank breached their loan agreement for over-charging her on her monthly amortizations.The over-charge was passed off as Value Added

A client was inquiring what rights she may have left after having defaulted in the monthly installments of her residential condominium unit. She said she has already paid more than P1.5-million in installments. She is asking whether she can still get back the installment payments she had already made.I think the Maceda Law comes into play to this query.Republic Act No. 6552 is a law that seeks to
