Q1: Ms. Witness, you mentioned that you are the Register of Deeds in
Davao City. As such, what are your duties and responsibilities?
Q2: In the course of your duty, do you recall the name of Manuel Vantes?
A2: Yes. He requested my office for a certified true copy of OCT No. 2991.
Q3: I will be showing you a document. Are you familiar with this?
A3: Yes. This is the certified true copy of OCT No. 2991 that was issued by
my office when it was requested by Manuel Vantes.
A4: Well, aside from the technical description of the land, this title shows
that it was issued in favor of Mr. Luis Vantes on October 13, 1941.
Q5: Other than the date of issuance of the OCT and the land’s technical
description, are there any annotations in this title?
Q6: If there had been any transaction involving this property, what should
have the parties done?
A6: Well, they should have informed our office. They should have
registered the transaction . . . submit a copy of the document
evidencing the transaction, so that it could be annotated in the title.
Q7: What other records does your office have to show that the alleged sale
was, in fact, not recorded in the Registry of Deeds?
A7: We record all transactions, such as sale and mortgages, in our primary
entry book or day book.

alleged date of sale?

to the current case?
