ISLAMIC DIRECTORATE VS C.

FACTS OF THE CASE:

 Petitioner IDP-Tamano Group was an incorporated to which its primary purpose is to
establish an Islamic center in Quezon City for the establishment of mosque, school, and
other religious infrastractures. IDP purchased a land at Q.C to be the land wherein the
envisioned Center for the Islamic populace would be established. The land was covered
with 2 titles both registered in the of IDP.
 The Libyan government purchased the land in the name of IDP, President Marcos
declared martial law. In result, most members of the 1971 board of trustees escaped to
the middle east so as to avoid political persecution. Some time, 2 groups claimed that
they were part of the IDP Board of trustees: the Carpizo Group, headed by Engineer
Carpizo, and the Abbas group which was led by Mrs. Zorayda Tamano.
 In a suit between the 2, SEC decided that the election of both groups was null and void.
The sec advised that the members of the petitioning corporation are authorized to
prepare and adopt their by-laws to be submitted to the Commission. Once approved, an
election of the members of the Board of Trustees may be held immediately. However,
neither of the group made a move to comply with the prescribed condition by the SEC.
 Without any formal election, no elected new members of the board of trustees of the
IDP, the Carpizio Group authorized the sale of 2 parcels of land to the private
respondent to INC.
 Some time, the petitioner 1971 IDP Board of trustees headed by Senator Tamano filed a
petition before the SEC. seeking to nullify or declare null and void the deed of absolute
sale signed by the Carpizo Group.

ISSUE OF THE CASE:

Whether the sale between INC and the Carpizo Group is valid.

RULING OF THE CASE: YES

 Because the Carpizo group isn’t a valid member of the Board of Trustees, thus, the sale
of land between the Carpizo group and INC is void. It should be noted that the IDP never
consented with the sale via legitimate Board of Trustees. More over, the Carpizo group’s
failure to comply with Section 40 of the corporation code which emphasized the need of
of the majority votes of the legitimate Board of Trustees constituting atleast 2/3 rd of the
genuine members of the corporation.
