Ruling

Accordingly, she attached the following documents in support of her application for registration: Lot No. 3766 Approved Conversion Plan for Swo-00-001613; [5] Technical Description of Lot No. 3766; [6] Geodetic Engineers Certificate; [7] Tax Declaration No. EL-008-01718; [8] Lot No. 5194 Approved Conversion Plan Swo-00-001752; [9] Technical Description of Lot 5194-A; [10] Geodetic Engineers Certificate; [11] Tax Declaration No. FL-010-00581; [12] Extrajudicial Settlement of the Estate of the Deceased Daniel Osorio Victoria and Rufina Cruz Victoria; [13] Special Power of Attorney. [14] The OSG opposed the application arguing that Belmonte failed to comply with the jurisdictional requirements of Presidential Decree ( P.D. ) No. 1529. On July 24, 2006, the RTC granted Belmontes application for registration of land title. [15] It held that she was able to successfully establish her ownership over the lots in question and that the land sought to be registered was the same land described in her application for registration. [16] Thus, the decretal portion of said decision reads: WHEREFORE, IN VIEW OF THE FOREGOING CONSIDERATIONS, judgment is hereby rendered granting the verified application for registration of land title under Property Registration Decree (P.D. 1529) filed by applicant Carmen Victoria Belmonte, represented by her Attorney-in-fact, Daniel C. Victoria, Jr., thereby confirming the title of the applicant to the subject properties. Furnish copy of the instant Decision the Office of the Solicitor General, the Provincial Prosecutors Office of Rizal-Pasig, the Land Registration Authority (LRA) and the Adjoining Property Owners. SO ORDERED.
