 caused the execution of three (3) simulated and void Deeds of Absolute Sale covering
the parcel of land registered under TCT No. xxx with an area of xxx square meters, to
wit:

1. Deed of Absolute Sale, dated xxx, 1974, allegedly executed by Luz Xxx Vda
De Xxx in favor of Gregoria Xxx Xxx for Pxxx covering her one-third share
on the parcel of land covered by TCT No. xxx.
2. Deed of Absolute Sale, dated xxx, 1977, allegedly executed by Josefina
Xxx in favor of Gregoria Xxx Xxx for Pxxx covering her one-third share on
the parcel of land covered by TCT No. xxx.
3. Deed of Absolute Sale, dated xxx, 1979, allegedly executed by Jose Manuel
Xxx in favor of Gregoria Xxx Xxx for Pxxx covering his one-third share on
the parcel of land covered by TCT No. xxx.
30. Q – Why do you say that the said three (3) deeds of sale (c. 1974, 1977, and 1979)
were void and simulated? A - The reasons are as follows based on our family
records:

1. The alleged signature of Luz Vda De Xxx on the alleged Deed of Absolute
Sale, dated XXX, 1974 was not the true signature of Luz Xxx Vda De Xxx.
Thus, the alleged signature of Luz Xxx Vda De Xxx was a forgery. The
said Deed of Absolute Sale is NULL and VOID ab initio and
INEFFECTIVE for lack of consent.
2. Moreover, the alleged consideration of Pxxx for the sale of the 1/3 share of
Luz Xxx Vda De Xxx on the parcel of land under TCT No. xxx was not
paid by Gregoria Xxx Xxx. The said Deed of Absolute Sale is rendered
NULL and VOID ab initio and INEFFECTIVE for lack of consideration.
3. The alleged signature of Jose Manuel Xxx on the alleged Deed of Absolute
Sale, dated xxx, 1979 IS NOT the signature of Jose Manuel Xxx. Thus, the
said alleged signature of Jose Manuel Xxx was a forgery. The said Deed of
Absolute Sale is NULL and VOID ab initio and INEFFECTIVE for lack of
consent.
4. Further, the alleged consideration of Pxxx for the sale of the 1/3 share of
Jose Manuel Xxx in the land covered by TCT No. xxx was not paid by
Gregoria Xxx Xxx. The said Deed of Absolute Sale is rendered NULL and
VOID ab initio and INEFFECTIVE for lack of consideration.
5. The signature of Josefina Xxx on the Deed of Absolute Sale, dated xxx,
1977 WAS NOT VOLUNTARILY AFFIXED by her as she was
INFLUENCED (and was not in a position to decline) to sign the same by
her aunt Gregoria Xxx. The said Deed of Absolute Sale is NULL and
VOID ab initio and INEFFECTIVE for lack of consent.
6. Moreover, the alleged consideration of Pxxx for the sale of the 1/3 share of
Josefina Xxx on the parcel of land under TCT No. xxx was not paid by
Gregoria Xxx Xxx. The said Deed of Absolute Sale is rendered NULL and
VOID ab initio and INEFFECTIVE for lack of consideration.
31. Q – What happened next? A – Based on the aforecited three (3) Deeds of Absolute
Sale, TCT No. xxx was issued in the name of Gregoria Xxx Xxx by the Registry of
 Deeds of the Province of Rizal on December 9, 1980. Subsequently, the TCT No. M-
xxx was issued on xxx, 1981 by the Registry of Deeds of the Province of Rizal in the
name of the defendant Leonora Xxx, a niece of Gregoria Xxx Xxx, based on a deed of
sale executed by Gregoria Xxx Xxx in favor of the defendant Xxx on xxx, 1979. It
was annotated at the back of TCT No. xxx on xxx, 1981 as Entry No. xxx.
32. Q - Why are you running after the defendant Xxx for the subject property? A –
We, the plaintiffs, are running after the defendant Xxx in this case because the legal
defects in the title of Gregoria Xxx Xxx under TCT No. xxx were transferred to the
defendant Xxx as the transferee of Gregoria Xxx Xxx. We believe that the parcel of
land covered by TCT No. xxx still belongs to Luz Xxx Vda De Xxx, Josefina Xxx and
Jose Manuel Xxx.

46. Q – Anything else? A - I hereby introduce the following additional exhibits to prove
the forgery, lack of consideration, and lack of consent of Luz Xxx Vda. De Xxx, Jose
Manuel Xxx, and Josefina O. Xxx regarding the void and simulated 1974, 1977 and
1979 deeds of sale that they executed in favor of Gregoria Xxx, to wit:

1. Exh. “YY” – “Kasulatan Ng Sanglaan Ng Labing Dalawang (12) Puno Ng
Mangga”, dated xxx 1964, executed by Luz Xxx. It shows the true
signature of Luz Xxx.
2. Exh. “ZZ” – “Kasulatan Ng Sanglaan”, dated xxx 1960, executed by Luz
Xxx. It shows the true signature of Luz Xxx.
3. Exh. “AAA” – “Signature of Jose Manuel Xxx on his Catholic Cursillo
prayer guide called “Gabay Ng Manglalakbay”, c. 1980s.
4. As to the signature of Josefina O. Xxx in the questioned 1977 deed of sale,
the same was true, but she signed it under the influence of Gregoria Xxx
and without any consideration. At that time, she had just recovered from a
6-month coma at the intensive care unit of the old xxx Hospital, xxx City,
after a serious head injury caused by a vehicular accident.
47. Q- Anything else? A - Yes. I hereby adopt into this judicial affidavit, by
incorporation and reference, all the allegations and arguments contained in our
Complaint and all the supporting documents annexed thereto, the same to form part
and parcel hereof.
48. Q - Anything else? A – Yes. I hereby manifest that during the main trial of the merits
of this case, we, the plaintiffs, intend to file a motion for questioned document and
handwriting examination by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) of all
questioned documents and signatures involved in this case, as discussed above. I
further manifest that, during the trial on the merits of this case, we intend to present
additional corroborating witnesses to prove our claims and prayers in the Complaint.
49. Q – Why did it take you and your co-plaintiffs more than 30 years before you
filed a case in court against the defendant Xxx to assert your rights in the subject
property? A – We did not have the financial resources and the clout to launch a
legal fight against the rich and influential Xxx Family to recover the subject
property. When we sold our rights and interest in the subject property to Xxx
Resort, Inc. three (3) years ago that was the only time we acquired the necessary
resources and courage to commence this action with the support. Furthermore,
the said delay should not be taken against us. We believe that a void and
simulated contract, as in this case, is invalid ab initio and that the action to nullify
it is imprescriptible under the Civil Code and existing jurisprudence, hence, as far
as we are concerned, the defense of laches is inapplicable.
