On the case of Mariflor T. Hortizuela (Plaintiff) Vs. Gregoria Tagufa (Defendant).

The
Defendant is clearly in the wrong here, since the funds that was sent by the plaintiff
was supposed to be used to reconvey the land but plaintiff discovered that the
property was titled under Gregoria Tagufa (Defendant) instead. Plaintiff also found
out that the Defendant was able to title the property by using the virtue of a free
patent application and the execution of a Deed of Extrajudicial Settlement of the
Estate of the late Spouses Leandro Tagufa and Remedios Talosig. And since the
Plaintiff is living in America, which the Defendant was fully aware of. With this, the
Defendant took advantage of the situation for the property to be under her name.

And since there is no proof that the spouses had left a will on who will manage the
property, the process of the extrajudicial settlement of the estate was used. Perhaps
the Defendant had used the affidavit of self-adjudication to which adjudicates the
entire estate to herself, and the Plaintiff was completely unaware of this.

Therefore, Plaintiff only has the right to reconvey the property and recovery of
possession because she is the rightful owner. It is truly upsetting that these kinds of
case usually happens between family members, there will always be a person who
cannot satisfy their greed and will do unlawful acts just to get what they want.
