I, Jim Beam M. Tolding, of legal age, widower, Filipino citizen and a resident of
IC 47, Betag, La Trinidad Benguet, Philippines, after having duly sworn to in accordance
with law, do hereby depose and state THAT:
1. I am the lawful and registered owner and possessor of a certain parcel of land
located at Barangay Shilan, La Trinidad Benguet, covered by Transfer
Certificate of Title No. T-65375 and Assessment of Real Property No. 2010-
03-14-00870.
2. Since said property was transferred and registered in my name, I have been
using the title aforesaid as security or collateral on my several loans. Whenever
I am able to settle these loans and the title delivered back to me, I usually kept
the original owner’s copy of Transfer Certificate of Title No. T-65375 inside
one of the personal drawers in our house together with other business
documents;
3. The latest transaction where I used the property covered by the afore-cited title
was the real estate mortgage (REM) I executed in favour of Adamson Cuña
(Mortgagee). I therefore delivered to him (Cuña) the original owners duplicate
copy of Transfer Certificate of Title No. T-65375;
5. After several days, I decided to process for the cancellation of the mortgage
afore-mentioned. I therefore locate and search for my long brown envelop
where I last kept the said original owner’s copy of TCT No. T-65375 since the
same is needed in the process. However, much to my disappoint and
frustration, I was not able to locate the same in places where I could have left
or kept it. Nevertheless, I tried hard to locate the said document in the said
premises, but still, I was not able to locate it;
6. Despite my earnest effort to locate or find the said owner’s original copy of
Transfer Certificate of Title No. T-65375, the same proved futile. I therefore
consider the same irretrievably lost and beyond recovery;
7. The said document was not cancelled, transferred nor delivered to any person
or entity for the satisfaction of any civil obligation, but due to the afore cited
reason;
