FACTS:
On September 26, 1969, an original certificate of title was issue in favor of Bugayong, which emanated
from a sales patent issued in Bugayong's name on September 22, 1969. The original certificate of title
was cancelled and was replaced by 4 transfer certificate of titles, all in the name of Bugayong. Bugayong
then sold all 4 lots to different people.
One of the lots was sold to the spouses Du. Afterwards, Du divided the land into 2 lots. One of the lots
was sold to Lourdes Farms, Inc., who then mortgaged the property to Land Bank of the Philippines.
The validity of the original certificate of title was then question by some residents of the land who filed a
formal petition before the Bureau of Lands. The Bureau of Lands found out that at the time the sales
patent was issued to Bugayong, the land was still classified as a forest zone; it was declared as alienable

impossible as the land was released as alienable and disposable only on March 25, 1981. Hence, LBP
