NOTICE
Sirs/Mesdames :
Please take notice that the Court, First Division, issued a Resolution datedFebruary 7, 2018which reads as follows: CTIEac
"G.R. No. 231779 (Celerina N. Chua, represented by Estela Nuñez v. Sps. Noel Juan and May Juan, Sps. Rolando Sarte and Wilma Sarte, and the Register of Deeds at San Jose City, Nueva Ecija). — The Court resolves to DENY the petition and AFFIRM the Court of Appeals (CA) Decision dated October 13, 2016 in CA-G.R. CV No. 103618 for failure to sufficiently show that the CA committed any reversible error in ruling that petitioner Celerina N. Chua (Chua) failed to prove by a preponderance of evidence that the sale of the property originally covered by OCT-FP-731 to respondents Noel Juan (Juan) and Rolando Sarte (Sarte) is void.
As correctly held by the CA, the case involves a double sale governed by Article 1544 of the New Civil Code. Juan and Sarte, vendees in the first sale, were the first ones to register the sale in good faith and subsequently obtained their respective transfer certificates of title in 2009; while the second sale to Chua was made in 2010. Clearly, Juan and Sarte have a better right over the property.
The petitioner's compliance with the Resolution dated July 17, 2017 submitting the compact disc containing the soft copy of the motion for extension of time to file petition for review on certiorari in portable document format and additional hard copy of the motion for extension of time to file petition is NOTED.
SO ORDERED."
Very truly yours,
(SGD.) LIBRADA C. BUENADeputy Division Clerk of Court
