A: My wife and I bought the property, because we want our son to have
a place near ours. That’s why when my son decided to get married, we

before their marriage.

qland that you donated?

claim any ownership of the property that we bought.

the land herein disputed?

have witnessed in support of the occupancy of Sps. Bravo?

such, constructed a small nipa hut which serves as our “pampalipas
oras”. After donating the property, my son and his wife build their
house and they made use of the land. They managed to construct several
improvements in the property. The land was primarily used by my son
as a farmhouse in which they store crops, animals and equipment for
cultivation.

13.Q: Do you recall how many years have passed after you donated the
property?
A: Yes. I think approximately 30 years or more.
