[TITULO PROPRIEDAD 4136; SAN PEDRO ESTATE; DON MARIANO E. SAN PEDRO FOUNDATION, INC.

]---BELOVED PHILIPPINES, WE HAVE FOUND THE GREATER POWER OF TRUTH, AND ITS AGAINST THE 1996 EN BANC DECISION OF THE HON. SUPREME COURT. [LEGAL STATUS OF TITULO PROP. 4136 OF ESTATE OF DON MARIANO E. SAN PEDRO IN THE LIGHT OF THE DISCOVERY OF 1971/72 ORIGINAL CERTS. OF TITLE (OCTs) No. 0-5617 and No. 0-5797] The Hon. Supreme Court in its 1996 Decision en banc (on San Pedro estate) has made it clear that the huge area of the vast lands under the mysterious Titulo Prop. 4136 is 173,000 hectares. (Pls. see the decision in G.R. No. 103727, Dec. 1996, with sketch plan of Titulo Prop. 4136.) It also made clear that there are two confusing dates (April 25, 1894 and April 29, 1894) involved in the San Pedro controversy, and that for purposes of its 1996 en banc Decision, the Hon. Supreme Court affirmed April 25, 1894 as the correct and real date, and thus (mistakenly!) wrongly made a grave declaration on Titulo Prop. 4136 issued on April 25, 1894. THE HON. SUPREME COURT FURTHER CLARIFIED: The heirs of the late Mariano San Pedro y Esteban laid claim and have been layingclaim to the ownership of, against third persons and the Government itself, a total land area of approximately 173,000 hectares or 214,047 quiniones, on the basis of a Spanish title, entitled Titulo de Propriedad Numero 4136 dated April 25, 1894. The claim, according to the San Pedro heirs, appears to cover lands in the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna and Quezon; and such Metro-Manila cities as Quezon City, Caloocan City, Pasay City, City of Pasig and City of Manila, thus affecting in general lands extending from Malolos, Bulacan to the City Hall of Quezon City and the land area between Dingalan Bay in the north and Tayabas Bay in the south.

THE HON. SUPREME COURT MADE IT CLEAR: .The heirs or successors-in-interest of Mariano San Pedro y Esteban are not without recourse. Presidential Decree No. 892,xx, grants all holders of Spanish Titles the right to apply for registration of their lands under Act No. 496, otherwise known as the Land Reg. Act, within six (6) months from the effectivity of the Decree. xxx We are in accord with the appellate courts holding xxx that since the Titulo was not registered under Act No. 496, otherwise known as the Land Registration Act, said Titulo is inferior to the registered titles of the private respondents Ocampo, Buhain and Dela Cruz (i.e. of the notorious OCT 614 and OCT 333). xxx This Court can only surmise that the reason for the non-registration of the Titulo under the Torrens system is the lack of the necessary documents to be presented in order to comply with the provisions of P.D. 892. We do not discount the possibility that the Spanish title in question is not genuine, especially since its genuineness and due execution have not been proven. In both cases, the petitioners-heirs were not able to present the original of Titulo de Propriedad No. 4136 nor a genuine copy thereof. NOW, BELOVED PHILIPPINES, AND DEAR PORTIA, GODDESS OF JUSTICE, WHAT IF, CONTRARY TO THE BELIEF OF THE HON. SUPREME COURT, THE TITULO PROP. 4136 OF APRIL 25,1894 HAS ALREADY BEEN SUBMITTED TO, AND HAS PASSED THE RIGID EXAMINATION OF, LAND REG. CASES NOS. N-1861 AND N-1876? WHAT NOW, PALLAS ATHENA, IF INDEED THERE HAS ALREADY BEEN SUCH A TORRENS TITLE ISSUED IN FAVOR OF THE HEIRS OF DON MARIANO E. SAN PEDRO NECESSARILY AFTER STRICT INVESTIGATION OF TITULO PROPRIEDAD 4136 OF APRIL 25, 1894? Many a salty tear has been shed by the helpless poor; quite a number of them have experienced the feeling of deep remorse that has risen within their honest souls when their last hope for justice has fled in Dec. 1996. Dear Portia, goddess of Justice, will you forsake us again when what is at stake now is the precious honor that we cherish above all else, when much that is left is the memory of those who tried to redeem the dignity of the poor and relentlessly fought for Titulo 4136 in your name. Pallas Athena, goddess of Truth, we praise thee with our gratitude, since our Motherland will now be redeemed, because we have found the great power of Truth of the mysterious Titulo Propriedad4136--the one hope of the poor, that was viciously maligned and ruthlessly assailed by the combined forces of the unscrupulous rich and the dark political powers that be. The Titulo Propriedad 4136 has now gone back to life to save and give justice to the disadvantaged and the oppressed and to bring the Philippines to Golden Age!

GOD BLESS THE PHILIPPINES!THERE IS REALLY SUCH A TORRENS TITLE (OR AN ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF TITLE) THAT WAS ISSUED OUT OF TITULO PROPRIEDAD 4136 OF APRIL 25, 1894, AND IT IS NOT JUST ONE, BUT TWO! (Pls. see the orderly Land Reg. Case No. N-1861 and N-1876. See also the Partial Decision of Judge Emmanuel Munoz in Oct. 12, 1970 thereon. Pls. also see the Original CerT. of Title (OCT) No. 05617 and OCT No. 0-5797 of the Hon. Register of Deeds of Meycauayan, Bulacan. The Torrens Title have been discovered only in 2001, and have become the object of complaint of Quieting of Title filed in Bulacan RTC against the false heirs, all 42 of them with San Pedro surnames. The titles have been hidden by them false San Pedro heirs presumably because of the coming confirmation of Don Alejandro P. San Pedro as the next of kin and true legal heir of Don Mariano E. San Pedro-with his most authentic Spanish documents, discovered from the 400 year-old church of Sta. Ana in Taguig. Titulo Propriedad 4136 issued in April 25, 1894 had, indeed, been submitted in a Land Registration Case under Act 496. The original of the TP 4136 was necessarily shown, and examined (as indicated in the records), and found in order, so that in 1972, after due notice and hearing with all concerned, the Hon. fact-finding and jurisdictional court, which is a Court in rem, whose decision is final and against the whole world, (after the lapse of certain number of years), issued forth a decree for the issuance of Torrens Titles, namely, Original Certs. of Title (OCTs) No. 0-5617 and OCT No. 0-5797. A number of Transfer Certificates of Title have also been issued from the OCTs, were transferred to innocent purchasers for value, and have become valid and perfect titles. THE PARTIAL DECISION OF JUDGE EMMANUEL MUNOZ DETERMINING THE TITULO PROP. 4136 ISSUED ON APRIL 25, 1894 TO BE IN ORDER,--AS WELL AS HIS ISSUANCE OF THE JUDICIAL DECREE FOR REGISTRATION OF THE LAND THEREOF, AND THE FINAL ISSUANCE OF THE ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF TITLES TO THE SAID LANDS WITHIN TITULO PROP. 4136 ISSUED ON APRIL 25, 1894,-IS OF ABSOLUTE JUDICIAL NOTICE IN PHILIPPINE JURISDICTION, SPECIALLY TO THE HON. SUPREME COURT. [(Pls. see Revised Rules of Court of the Philippines, Rule 129, Sec. 1). Moreover, the said Land Reg. Case is a proceeding in rem, which is an action in which the court is required to have control of the thing or object and in which an adjudication is made as to the object which binds the whole world and not simply the interests of the parties to the proceeding, and has for its object the disposition of property, without reference to the title of individual claimants;. Flesch v. Circle City Excavating & Rental Corp., 137 Ind.App. 695, 210 N.E.2d 865. (Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Ed., page 793.]

THE QUESTION OF VALIDITY OF TITULO 4136 ISSUED ON APRIL 25, 1894, AFTER THESAME HAS BEEN DULY EXAMINED AND FOUND IN ORDER BY THE LAND REG. COURT IN IN-REM PROCEEDINGS, HAS BECOME RES JUDICATA. Therefore, the en banc Decision of the Hon. Supreme Court, has become ultra vires on its part; and, hence, it acquired no jurisdiction on Titulo 4136. Forcing the issue would result into grave abuse of discretion that would result into lack of jurisdiction. Neither, the Hon. Supreme Court can now 1) Order a new trial to correct its mistake because doing so will result to double jeopardy against the judicially confirmed next of kin and true legal heir of Don Mariano; 2) neither the Hon. Supreme Court can promulgate today, motu propio, a new judgment to correct the previous one where it erred because of the stark absence of a fair trial, and therefore would be lacking and without due process; 3) And, indeed, to repeat, the validity of Titulo 4136 issued on April 25, 1894 has become res judicata after it passed strict examination in Land Reg. Cases Nos. N-1861 & N-1876, which are a case in rem that acquired notice and jurisdiction to the whole world, and, as proof thereof, have resulted, the issuance of OCTs Nos. 0-5617 & 0-5797, together with equally perfect and valid TCTs that have now passed to third parties who are innocent purchasers for value. THUS, HOW THE HON. SUPREME COURT SPEAKS WITH THE VOICE OF GOD, AND IS INFALLIBLE, AND CANNOT ERR. EVERYTHING, INCLUDING ITS SEEMING MISTAKE, IS PART OF LARGER DESIGN FOR GOOD OF ALL AND THE COUNTRY. The most logical interpretation of motive in its said controversial 1996 en banc decision is that:--in as much as the land under Titulo 4136 cannot anymore revert to being public land (since the lands under TP 4136 have since 1894 been owned as private lands, and as such had been registered with Spanish Mort. Law, and Treaty of Paris of 1898; in addition to the fact that the lands have already been declared alienable and disposable by the Bu. of Forestry, and its been a time-honored principle that what has become private land cant anymore become public), and since the public-interest San Pedro Foundation has already been prepared by the judicially confirmed next of kin and true legal heir of Don Mariano (Don Alejandro San Pedro)---ready to democratize the base of power in the Philippines, assert the interest of the people, and also to avoid the lands getting to fall in the hands of unscrupulous landgrabbersdevelopers, (and as well as to false heirs and fraudulent San Pedro claimants),---the Hon. Supreme Court in a stroke of statesmanship, and of activist judicial wisdom, although not easily understood and discernible to most people, has forever wrote finish to the celebrated San Pedro controversy, (but not without a happy ending, and with ultimate poetic justice dispensed in favor of judicially confirmed next of kin and true legal heir of Don Mariano--Don Alejandro P. San Pedro).

AND, THUS HOW OUR FAITH IN THE HON. SUPREME COURT HAS BEEN STRENGTHENED EVEN MORE, BUT ONLY AFTER WE HAVE NOW FULLY UNDERSTOOD THE WHOLE INTENT AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THEIR 1996 EN BANC DECISION ON THE SAN PEDRO CONTROVERSY. INDEED, THE HON. SUPREME COURT DISPENSES JUSTICE TO ALL BUT ULTIMATELY SIDES WITH THE DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE,AND THAT, TODAY, ALL REJOICE BECAUSE THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES WILL BE SERVED AND BENEFITED BY THE DRAMATIC RESOLUTION ON THE OWNERSHIP OF THE VAST TRACTS OF LAND IN QUESTION. On the side of the judicially confirmed next of kin and true legal heirs, we know of the great sacrifices they have made for the country, and they are always like today serving as mere instruments for greater cause and social justice. It is befitting to remember now that Don Alejandro died a decent man; he was poor, but he served the country well, during World War II he was a volunteer guerrilla boy-runner under the Gen. Walter Cushing Guerrilla Unit undertaking dangerous missions behind enemy lines at the age of 14; Don Luis his father was an official Rizalista master who died in the war (1946) supervising the activities of their nationalist organization; Don Luis beautiful, wife Dona Gorgonia Pascual, herself, suffered severe torture from Kempetais, because she would not reveal information, out of love for country and her family that went underground to fight the Japanese; Don Mariano himself, while being a Spanish subject, was raised in a great liberal tradition; he was an industrious nobleman, as he in fact toiled his way to prominence, even meriting great land concessions from the grateful civil government of his time. Don Mariano San Pedro provided indispensable service in public works to the Spanish Crown and the Office of the Governor General of the Islands. IN THE MANNER OF SEEKING JUSTICE FROM THE COURTS OF LAW, DON ALEJANDRO WAS HONEST AND ABOVE-BOARD IN HIS PETITIONS WITH THE HON. COURTS. Don Alejandro San Pedro did not have service of top law firms that require high compensation, he signed his own petitions to government, but he had the original and authentic Spanish documents of heirship with Don Mariano E. San Pedro, which he submitted to the Hon. Courts of law,--and the truth won the day for him. (Please see the Resolution en banc of the Hon. Supreme Court, dated Feb. 28, 1989directing Judge Oscar Ofilada himself to look for the real heirs of Don Mariano E. San Pedroplease seethe jurisdictional and fact finding Court Orders (dated Jan. 28, 1996 and June 13,1997) of Judge Ofilada that determined and confirmed Don Alejandro P. San Pedro, Sr. as the next of kin and true legal heir of Don Mariano E. San Pedro.)

IN REGARD TO THE TRIAL ON APPEAL IN THE HON. SUPREME COURT THAT WAS INITIATED BY PEDRO IGNACIO, ALIAS ENGRACIO SAN PEDRO, DON ALEJANDRO NATURALLY SIDED WITH JUDGE FERNANDEZ AND THE GOVERNMENT. It is the truth presentation of genuine and authentic old Spanish documents (establishing his kinship with Don Mariano San Pedro), which encouraged the Supreme Court to destroy the land and squatter syndicates (at that time headed by, among others, alias Engracio San Pedro), and to write finish to the San Pedro controversy. When Hon. Supreme Court finally issued its en banc Decision on the San Pedro estate, Don Alejandro lost no time in sending his Manipestasyon at Papuri to Hon. Supreme Court, and the Hon. Court returned the gesture with rewards, i.e. thru Hon. Judge Carlos Ofilada in Spec. Proc. Case 312-B. REWARDS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST UNSCRUPULOUS LAND SYNDICATES AND AS WELL AS FALSE HEIRS AND FRAUDULENT CLAIMANTS. As a result, Don Alejandro San Pedros kinship and heirship with Don Mariano E. San Pedro had been fully established and confirmed. He was made the Special Administrator, by the Hon. Court, for the true and legal estate of Don Mariano E. San Pedro. Don Alejandro was also granted the authority to sell 169 has. within the adjudicated 445 has. San Pedro property in Norzagaray, Bulacan. And lastly, the SEC gave him full authority and reserved to him alone the use of the name of Don Mariano E. San Pedro Foundation, Inc. as title of foundation. IN GRATITUDE TO THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE, when Don Alejandro San Pedro prepared and personally wrote hisholographic Last Will & Testament, he first secured enough part (20%) of the San Pedro estate for the sake of his heirs and his illegitimate and legitimate sisters in pro-indiviso equal shares; then he sought to inform all and sundry the necessity to invest the Don Mariano E. San Pedro Foundation, Inc. with enabling fund totalling 80% of the whole San Pedro estate for the sake of the country, for the advancement of science and technology, for the modernization of industries, for the rehabilitation and upgrade of human settlements, and for the maintenance of peace and order in the country. FINAL JUSTICE IS POETIC JUSTICE. And lastly, since the syndicates and the unscrupulous malefactors of the Titulo Propriedad 4136 have greatly abused and exploited the name of our beloved Don Mariano E. San Pedro in amassing hundred thousand hectares, and in adversely occupying vast tracts of land, as inventoried in the 1976 Order of Judge Fernandez, and in the collection of double II plans in the name of Don Conrado Ignacio: it is the stand of this representation and of the Don Mariano E. San Pedro Foundation, Inc., in regard to ownership of

those lands, that: The law on agency holds! And we declare, that, howsoever much they have acquired and however far they have brought to exploit the name of Don Mariano San Pedro, there will we come over to prosecute the interest of the San Pedro estatewhich is now owned, administered and held in trust by the San Pedro Foundation......for Philippines progress and world understanding.

(SUCH IS THE NATURE OF ESTATE OF THE DECEASED. Before its final execution in a will or the termination of its administration, it partakes of a dynamic character, enabling it to grow by virtue of sound management by a succession of its administrators or tenants or their voluntary counterparts, or a windfall may come from nowhere to enrich it more. Or that due to bad management, the estate is dissipated; but if there is a showing of fraud or bad faith, the administrator, trustee or tenant, voluntary or not, he alone becomes responsible; and like in agency and as implied trustee, his gains in using the name and body of the estate redound not to him but always to the estate, while he alone suffers, and shall be prosecuted for the loss and damage he incurred and voluntarily committed.Adapted from varied legal definitions given to estate of the deceased by Blacks Law Dictionary.) IN THIS CONNECTION: THE 50,000 HAS. LANDS IN QUEZON, RIZAL AND LAGUNA could not have been validly acquired by Green Square Properties Corporation from any supposed seller it transacted that only misrepresented the San Pedro estate. (Pls. see G.R. No. 139274, Oct. 2001.) The original Tax Declaration issued in favor of the heirs of Don Mariano San Pedro is, and remains, valid. WE MUST BEAR IN MIND that such Tax Declaration for the 50,000 has. property in Quezon Rizal and Laguna provinces are in the name of Heirs of Don Mariano E. San Pedro. They are here alive, judicially confirmed as next of kin and true legal heirs of Don Mariano, and vested with power to succeed the deceased and to administer the San Pedro estate.

NOW THAT THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF QUEZON has received mandate from Hon. Supreme Court in refusing to honor tax payments by Green Square, the real, original and legal right and privilege of ownership remain with the said true owners of the property, or of the San Pedro estate,whose present institutional judicial administrator is the Don San Pedro Foundation. THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT (in violation of the Constitutional right to property of the judicially confirmed next of kin and true legal heirs of Don Mariano San Pedro) cannot invalidate it now in the aftermath of the criminal sales transactions between said fraudulent parties. THE FRAUDULENT ALLEGED-ADMINISTRATOR, who is supposedly an officer of the Court, but does not have any legal mandate on record (or whose mandate has expired on the date of sales-transaction with Green Square, in August 1996), together with the Hon. Court who approved the transaction, must bear full responsibility of the criminal act of large-scale estafa. (The legal San Pedro estate, much less the San Pedro Foundationbeing the institutional judicial administrator, is innocent and clean on this sales-transaction, they are the victims here, and should not be visited by the effects of guilt of fraudulent parties in the said criminal sales-transaction.) FOR ITS PART, GREEN SQUARE, a company involved in realty business as it is, if it is not a colluding co-conspirator in the criminal transaction, must have exercised caution and should always bear in mind the adage of Caveat emptor, even as (particularly) because of its greed, it chose not to transact with the rightful owner, Don Alejandro P. San Pedro, Sr., who, at the right time, had just been determined as next of kin and true legal heir of Don Mariano E. San Pedro, in addition to being appointed by the jurisdictional and fact-finding Hon. Court as the new Special Administrator of the estate of Don Mariano E. San Pedro. (Pls. see Bulacan RTC, Br. 15, Spec. Proc. Case No. 312-B, Pres. Judge Carlos Ofilada, Court Order, dated Jan. 31,1996, with bond posted, and issued Letters of Special Administration dated April15, 1996. Pls. compare said dates with Green Squares date of fraudulent-acquisition--August 1996, allegedly from the estate of Don Mariano E. San Pedro.) Arturo D. San Pedro, Chairman/President, Don Mariano E.

THE PIADECO OF MR. WILFREDO S. TORRES, TOGETHER WITH OTHER PARTIES THAT TRACE CLAIM TO DON IGNACIO CONRADO, HAS LOST CASE IN OWNERSHIP OF TP 4136 THE PIADECO AND THE FABIAN CASTILLO GROUP lost their San Pedro heirship case in the jurisdictional and fact-finding Spec. Proc. Case 312-B (Br. 15, RTC, Mal., Bul.), and it is not the only group that now traces their San Pedro claim thru Don Ignacio Conrado mortgage . They are preceded in this claim by Maria Socorro Tandag Conrado. Sadly, they also all lost their cases in the RTC up to the Hon. Supreme Court. (Pls. ref., inter alia, to Director of Forestry vs. Munoz, SCRA 1968, and the Oct. 11, 1977 fact-finding ruling/ Order in jurisdictional Spec. Proc. Case 312-B, Br. IV,CFI, Baliuag, Bul., viz: Assuming the estate of Don Mariano failed to redeem the mortgage in favor of Don Conrado within the redemption period of ten years, it is the latter or his heir who had lost the right to collect the indebtedness of Don Mariano after the lapse of the prescriptive period of ten years and, therefore, the mortgage action against the Estate in question had expired and the full ownership thereof had remained in the Estate as the encumbrance thereon had been eliminated after the lapse of the prescriptive period for Conrado to institute the mortgage action; Conrados claim in Intervention is manifestly sham and frivolous because there is no law which makes the mortgagee ipso facto the owner of the property mortgaged upon the mortgagors failure to pay the debt or mortgaged upon the mortgagors failure to pay the debt or redeem the mortgaged property; on the contrary, it is the right of the Conrados to collect or enforce the mortgage that prescribed after the lapse of ten years (Art. 1142 NCC).  XXX.According to evidence, which remains uncontradicted, the Conrados were able to appropriate and benefit from the Estate some income thereof, the total value of which far exceeds the total indebtedness of Don Mariano; considering this uncontradicted evidence and in the light of the character of the Contrato , it would seem quite clear that the contract between Don Mariano and Conrado is one of antichresis ; it becomes, therefore, the obligation of the Conrados to apply the harvests and income they derived from the Estate in payment of the indebtedness of Don Mariano (Art. 2132-2139, NCC); hence, it would seem from evidence, that the obligation of Don Mariano, if there was any, involving the Estate in question had already been fully paid or extinguished; moreover, there likewise remained unrebutted and uncontroverted (Tsn, pp. 3, 4 & 5, 2/4/77) to the effect that Don Conrado had already accepted more than P100,000.00 for the redemption of the property which was mortgaged to him by Don Mariano. ) Arturo D.
