Cresencia, Maria, Aquilina, Pedro and Basilia Hernandez are brother and
sisters, who acquired in common a parcel of land from their deceased father. Maria
and
Aquilina sold to the spouses Andal a portion thereof, which they purport to be
their
combined shares by virtue of a verbal partition made among the siblings Hernandez.
After the sale, Cresencia attempted to repurchase the land sold to Andal but the
latter
refused to sell the same. Later, Andal resold the same to Maria and Aquilina. Maria
and
Aquilina alleged that there had been an oral partition among them and their brother
and
sisters, and that there are witnesses ready to prove such partition. However,
Cresencia
asserted that under the Rules of Court, parol evidence of partition is
inadmissible.
