    The document discusses the dead man's statute and its non-applicability/waiver. The lot in question was not part of Manuel Guerrero's estate, so the dead man's rule did not apply. However, the protection of the dead man's rule was waived when counsel for the petitioners cross-examined Vicente, as a waiver occurs when the plaintiff is deposed by the estate's representative or cross-examined by the representative's counsel on matters during the deceased's lifetime.

    DEAD MAN’S STATUTE

    NON-APPLICABILITY/WAIVER
    The lot it not part of the estate of Manuel Guerrero. Hence, the
    inapplicability of the dead man’s rule.
    Such protection, however, was effectively waived when counsel for
    petitioners cross-examined private respondent Vicente. A waiver occurs
    when plaintiff’s deposition is taken by the representative of the estate or
    when counsel for the representative cross-examined the plaintiff as to
    matters occurring during deceased’s lifetime.
