Sps. Valino own a house for which they executed and registered a

mortgage over the lot and house in favor of Iya, which was duly
registered and annotated at the back of the title

pursuant to the bond and Associated Insurance demanded
reimbursement from Valino
Thereafter, upon failure to pay, they foreclosed on the chattel
mortgage over the house and subsequently bought it at a public
auction

case praying for exclusion of the house from the real estate mortgage
and declaration of their right of ownership over the house

faith, and, in the absence thereof, the person who presents the
oldest title, provided there is good faith.
Registry in the chattel mortgage registry has no legal effect
because it is for personal property
Building of strong materials is real property and the mere fact
that the parties seem to have dealt with it separate and apart
from the land did not change its character as real property.
Inscription on public record presupposes good faith of hi who
enters such inscription
Based on the 2nd paragraph, then, the bldg.. belongs to the
plaintiff. However, since the plaintiff did not act in good faith, it
still belongs to the machinery co. under the 3rd paragraph of
1473.
Plaintiff was duly notified that the machinery co. had
bought the bldg.. from plaintiffs judgment debtor and had
gone into possession long prior to the sheriffs sale and
was in possession at the time when the sheriff executed
the levy

o NO; the 2nd mortgage, though, was executed after the Sales
Patent was issued. As such, it falls under the restrictions stated in
the Public Land Act and Sec. 2 of RA 730, and is therefore null
and void.

materials. The Iya and Lopez cases are not applicable because
the properties therein were made of strong materials and were
permanently attached to the soil. Leung Yee is also not
applicable because there it was a 3rd person who assailed the
validity of the chattel mortgage, while here it is one of the
parties to the contract who is assailing its validity.

with an application or a writ of replevin
o RTC directed sheriff to seize and deliver the machineries and
equipment to PCI

word that he would return for the other machineries
Petitioners filed for a motion for special protective order, arguing in
their reply that the properties sought were immovable under 415, the
parties agreement to the contrary notwithstanding. To give effect to
the agreement would be prejudicial to innocent 3rd parties.

W/N the fact that the parties entering into a contract re: a
house gave said property the consideration of personal
property in their contract, bind the sheriff in advertising the
propertys sale at public auction as personal property?
o Rules on execution do not allow the special consideration that
parties to a contract may have desired to impart to real estate
when they are not ordinarily so. Sales on execution affect the
public and 3rd persons. The regulation governing sales on
execution are for public officials to follow. The form of properties
prescribed for each kind of property is suited to its character, not
to the character which the parties have given to it or desire to
give it. When the rules speak of personal property, property
which is ordinarily so considered is meant and when real
property is spoken of, it means property which is generally
known as real property. Regulations were never intended to suit
the consideration hat parties may have privately given to the
property levied upon. Enforcement of regulations would be
difficult were the convenience or agreement of private parties to
determine or govern the nature of the proceedings.
o The mere fact that a house was the subject of a chattel mortgage
and was considered as personal property by the parties does not
make said house personal property for purposes of the notice to
be given for its sale at public auction. This is demanded by the
need for a definite, orderly, and well-defined regulation for
official and public guidance and which would prevent confusion
and misunderstanding.
