3,311 square meters, while TCT No. 571 covers Lot No. 557
with an area of 525 square meters. Too, TCT No. 16534
was issued in September 1957, or almost ten years after
the title it supposedly gave rise to was issued in 1946.
Second, TCT No. 571 contains discrepancies when
compared with TCT Nos. 570 and 572, the TCTs that were
supposedly issued before and after TCT No. 571. These
discrepancies are as follows:
(i) TCT Nos. 570 and 572 had both been issued on
February 26, 1947, almost a year after TCT No. 571
was issued on July 16, 1946. Since TCT No. 571 was
an intervening title between TCT Nos. 570 and 572,
then it should have also been issued on February 26,
1947.
(ii) TCT No. 571 used an old form, Judicial Form No.
140D, which was revised in June 1945 by Judicial
Form No. 109. Since TCT No. 571 shows that it was
issued in 1946, then it should have used Judicial
Form No. 109. Notably, both TCT Nos. 570 and 572

Notes.Acquisitive prescription is a mode of acquiring
ownership by a possessor through the requisite lapse of
time Mere possession with a juridical title, such as by a
usufructuary, a trustee, a lessee, an agent or a pledgee, not
being in the concept owner cannot ripen into ownership by
acquisitive prescription unless the juridical relation is first
expressly repudiated and such repudiation has been
communicated to the other party. (Esguerra vs. Manantan,
516 SCRA 561 [2007])
