A SHORT BUT SIGNIFICANT SUMMARY OF THE HERMOGENES RODRIGUEZ Y REYES ESTATE HISTORY

      As I have discussed this again and again, there was no such thing as OCT #01-4. What was accepted by the then President Ferdinand E. Marcos on February 23, 1976 at Malacanang was the  "Titulo de Propriedad de Terrenos of 1826-1861-1891-1894, Royal Decree 01-4" and not an OCT! By virtue of the surrender of the owner's copy for safekeeping of the "Titulo de Propriedad of 1891(Royal Decree 01-4) Protocol, together with the parcels of survey plans duly recorded under Expediente Record Nos. 406-407-408-409 that was submitted under the Court of Land Registration during the Spanish administration, the Spanish title was the only one which has complied under Presidential Decree No. 892, and was considered duly registered under the Phil-American Insular Act #496 - Land Registration Act, known as the Torrens System of land registration, embodied in Presidential Decree No. 1143, and duly reconstituted in the name of Don Hermogenes Rodriguez y Reyes under Transfer Certificate of Title #12022 in 1979 by the Registry of Deeds of Rizal.  In 1995, the Court of Appeals admitted as facts of evidence the ownership of the heirs of the late Hermogenes and Antonio Rodriguez under Titulo de Propriedad of 1891 and TCT No. 12022 in CA-G.R. SP No.33806 in the Decision dated June 22, 1995, facts of which were affirmed by the Supreme Court in the Entry of Judgment dated January 15, 1996 for the Resolution dated December 4, 1995 in SC-G.R. No. L-120811.

      Before the surrender of Titulo de Propriedad of 1891 (Royal Decree 01-4 Protocol) in compliance to Presidential Decree #892, sometime way back in 1902, brothers Hermogenes Rodriguez y Reyes  and Antonio Rodriguez y Reyes (NOT MIGUEL, who is a "Juez de Primera Instancia" of Tayabas as per Phil. Archives records, AND WHO IS NOT THE OWNER OF 01-4!) applied for titling under Act #496 some 27,000 hectares of land and was duly issued a Torrens Title - OCT #369, GLRO Decree #297, Case No. 386 - RG #571, promulgated in 1911 by the "Juzgado del Primera Instancia de Manila," later becoming as the "Juzgado del Primera Instancia, Tercera Divicion del Provincia de Rizal" under the Phil-American Insular government. In 1910 Don Hermogenes Rodriguez died, and being without issue, all his landholdings were inherited by Don Antonio Rodriguez. In 1918, Don Antonio Rodriguez died, leaving all his landholdings to his son, Don Macario Rodriguez and daughter Flora Rodriguez. Flora Rodriguez died without issue and all her landholding rights were inherited by Don Macario Rodriguez. Don Macario Rodriguez fathered DELFIN and CONSUELO RODRIGUEZ, who both inherited the landholdings of DON MACARIO. Delfin Rodriguez fathered HENRY and CERTEZA, while Consuelo Rodriguez Pellosis gave birth to a sole daughter, ROSALINA. Thus the three became the true inheritors of the entire HERMOGENES RODRIGUEZ Y REYES ESTATE as proclaimed by SPECIAL PROCEEDINGS NO. IR-1110 AMENDED DECISION dated August 13, 1999.

The said RTC Amended Decision was DECLARED FINAL, EXECUTORY and IMMUTABLE that PRECLUDES or PROHIBITS EVEN THE SUPREME COURT from modifying/altering the said judgment in SC-G.R. No. 182645 Decision dated June 22, 2011, with SC Entry of Judgment issued on September 12, 2011.  This RTC Amended Decision was unlike the Court of Appeals CA-G.R. SP No.57417 Resolution dated April 16, 2002, categorized as a VOID JUDGMENT when the said Appellate ruling was NULLIFIED by the December 4, 2009 Supreme Court Decision, since the CA Resolution lacked jurisdiction over the said RTC Amended Decision.
