SAN PEDRO ESTATE VS. TITULO PROPRIEDAD 4136. All must be fair and just, and should be able to distinguish. We are heirs of Don Alejandro P. San Pedro—the lone judicially declared next of kin and true legal heir of Don Mariano San Pedro, i.e. under the Spec. Proc. Case 312-B, RTC, Malolos, Bulacan. Titulo Propriedad 4136 had been the work of false heirs and criminal syndicates. Don Alejandro P. San Pedro and his heirs have not been using Titulo 4136 as it is criminal and invalid.

PREFATORY NOTE: 

Eventually, all major landholdings and properties held by Don Mariano E. San Pedro Foundation, Inc. shall be turned-over or, more appropriately, donated or assigned as University sites and endowments for ownership-trust and management of The Enlightenment University System. In this regard, it is necessary to inform the public of the perfect legitimacy and/or legality of the said vast landholdings and properties of the Don Mariano E. San Pedro estate, most particularly: 1) the Titulo Composicion con en el Estado, which consists of own 4,700 has. latifundio of Don Mariano E. San Pedro in old Norzagaray, in old Bulacan; 2) the Titulo Informacion Possessoria, which comprises of "Enlightenment project's" 173,000 has. encomienda in central Tagalog region encompassing Metro-Manila cities and towns, and great portions of the suburban provinces of Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Quezon, Rizal & Laguna (Pls. see GRs 103727 & 106496); and as well as 3) the Land Bank Capital Bonds—Interim Certificates Nos. 180-1, 180-2, 180-3, and 180-4, all under the Series of 1968, each valued at P400,000,000, totalling P1,600,000,000 with 7% interest per annum, as certified to by the Central Bank of the Philippines (CBP) on December 14, 1989. In effect and point of fact, this article on the "Complete Facts and Legality of the San Pedro Estate" is about the truth & legitimacy of the renown Don Mariano E. San Pedro estate and the all too recognizable and palpable Titulo Informacion Possessoria of the Maura Law —replacing the nullified Titulo Propriedad 4136.

SAN PEDRO ESTATE VS. TITULO PROPRIEDAD 4136. All must be fair and just, and should be able to distinguish. We are heirs of Don Alejandro P. San Pedro—the judicially declared next of kin and true legal heir of Don Mariano E. San Pedro. Titulo Prop. 4136 had been the work of false heirs and criminal syndicates, particularly the groups of Wilfredo Torres, and Don Engracio San Pedro—alias Pedro Ignacio. Don Alejandro P. San Pedro and his heirs have always been on the side of the government, always legal and are innocent of the crimes of the unlawful. They’ve not been using TP 4136 as it is criminal and invalid. The true and legal Spanish titles of the San Pedro estate that already “passed P.D. 892 with OCT o-5797, Decree 137745 of Dec. 6, 1971” is Titulo Composicion con en el Estado (TCCE) for its concrete latifundio in Old Norzagaray, and its valid Maura Law adjustment Titulo Informacion Possessoria (TIP) for its altruistic private encomienda (Enlightenment project) of Dr. Jose Rizal, Rizalistas and Masons. We should be very careful. IF THE HON.

[There is mystery in the San Pedro estate and in its refusal to die all too suddenly; and the hope for truth and justice remained unperturbed among the simple, honest, and courageous family of Don Alejandro P.

Page 8 THE STORY/HISTORY

INTRODUCTIONIt was by accident that we are led to the discovery of the truth about the hidden "enlightenment" history of the country, and the reality of the Don Mariano E. San Pedro Estate and its Spanish titles that have both passed the strict requirements of P.D. 892 (namely: TITULO COMPOSICION CON EN EL ESTADO and TITULO INFORMACION POSSESSORIA). It came by the most frustrating experience of the disciplined but beleaguered remnants of the followers of Dr. Jose Rizal.

Thus, at that time that the Rizalist church in Langhaya, San Juan, Antipolo City, was being demolished in Nov. 25, 1997, the Rizalist children then were inconsolably crying, the women were desperate with tears, even as their men were ready to die

NOTES22.1 Titulo Informacion already passed PD 892

Page 9: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

opposing the awesome power of the paid demolition team: but they were crushed and beaten![i] This painfully reminds us of what happened in Calamba, Laguna, in 1887, when all the 200 farmers, including the family of Dr. Jose Rizal,--had their houses and structures in the farm all torn down. Against the plea for mercy! -- the powerful Dominican friars cruelly ordered General Valeriano Weyler to destroy the properties of the farmers.[ii] The farmers, however, couldn‘t do anything; the friars then owned the land in Calamba, Laguna.

But in Langhaya case, the disciplined enlightenment Rizalists* are commu-nal usufruct owners of the land within the San Pedro estate; and the ones that ravaged them were the despicable land developers who use fake land titles to land-grab.[iii] The incident caused the health of Rizalist Sovereign Felix M. Melgar to deteriorate until he died. Now where is justice here? It was not merely the house and structure of the Sovereignian Rizalists that were demolished, it‘s their house of worship that they destroyed, causing the Pontiff to weaken and die, out of shame, out of injustice, out of helpless-ness! Today, this very moment, Dec. 30, the day of death of Dr. Jose Rizal, the disgraceful remains of the pitiful Rizalist church is still poignantly left for the world to see, it is the shameful picture of the lavatory.

TOUCH ME NOT![Now, a clarification is immediately needed in order to explain that the December 31, 1996 ''en banc'' Decision of the Honorable Supreme Court in GRs 103727 and 106496 is not applicable to Don Alejandro San Pedro, whose judicial declaration[iv] as "true legal heir" and "next of kin" of Don Mariano San Pedro in Spec. Proc. Case 312-B is the result of the sustained and affirmed order of Judge Oscar Fernandez in the heirship issues in GR 103727; and the (fake) extrapolated TP 4136 that Judge Fernandez nullified is the one pleaded by Petitioner/Appelee ''alias'' Don Engracio San Pedro (''nee'' Pedro Ignacio) to have been issued in April 29, 1894.[v] The original and true Spanish titles of the San Pedro estate consisted of the TITULO COMPOSICION CON EN EL ESTADO for Don Mariano’s own concrete latifundio in Norzagaray, Bulacan, and as well as the TITULO INFORMACION POSSESSORIA for the Enlightenment project

Page 9

of such 173,000 has. altruistic encomienda in the “national capital region” of Dr. Jose Rizal. The TITULO COMPOSICION CON EN EL ESTADO, particularly, was found authentic by NBI Doc. Examiner Antonio Rotor; was approved twice by Judge Emmanuel Munoz in 1971 and 1972 in Land Reg. Cases N-1861 & N-1876; was respectively issued with Decrees 137745 and

Page 10: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

139093; was issued with Torrens titles or two OCTs O-5797 and O-5617; and finally, has passed the strict requirements of the PD 892 for Spanish titles, and has now become imprescriptible, perfect, and valid till the end of time.]

HISTORY OF RIZALISTS’ CO-OWNERSHIP OF THE VAST LAND OF THE GREATER SAN PEDRO ESTATE

The history of the Rizalists‘ communal co-ownership of the vast land, is the history of the greater San Pedro estate, and of the revolutionary but peaceful 'Enlightenment project‘ of Dr. Jose Rizal.[vi] It all started with the tragic fiasco committed by the Dominican friars in 1887, when against the pleadings of the 200 farmers opposing the increase of rent in the face of poor harvest, the religious order disregarded their must for benevolence and compassion, and instead went wayward ordering Gen. Valeriano Weyler to evict the poor farmers from their homes, including the family of Dr. Jose Rizal, whose home and other buildings on the farm were all torn down.[vii] It was too much to bear; even adding to painful memories of his mother's maltreatment by the Catholic church prelates in 1871--who ordered Dona Teodora to the cold prison without a hearing, and made to walk ten miles (16-km.) from the town of Calamba to Sta. Cruz.[viii]

It was a very dramatic and sad event that happened that day, most particularly for Dr. Jose Rizal and his family. Dr. Rizal had just returned from Germany, where he ably finished his course in Opthalmology, and also caused his dramatic novel Noli Me Tangere to be published.[ix] He was a fast rising political figure at that time. And the church authorities seemed envious and threatened. He had earlier joined the Freemasonry in Spain, and it was like he was seeking for powerful allies in this kind of event in his life.[x] Dr. Jose Rizal was actually leading the way of a determined intel-lectual aiming for change in his own Motherland as he chose to side with the progressive disciplines of liberalism, freemasonry and Enlighten-ment.[xi] These were also the great social forces that had then taken the upper hand in Spain and in Europe.

THE ROLE OF THE FREEMASONS

True enough, his liberal brother Masons, who were mostly Spanish subjects, found it the best time to visit and commiserate with him for what had happened. The visiting brother Masons were solicitous of help, and seemed they were sent by the all too concerned Masonic (33rd degree) Governor-General Emilio Terrero y Perinat.[xii] Among the Freemason team was Don Mariano San Pedro, himself, a liberal Mason, an influential Spanish subject, former Liaison at the Office of Gov. Gen.

Page 11: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

Eduardo De la Torre, now the trusted Public works contractor for the Civil government

Page 10

and a known ally to Gov. Gen. Ramon Blanco. With him was Don Ignacio Conrado, a Castillian Mason, who would become the respected Supremo of the Vanguardia Rizalista.

They had come for very meaningful subject: how to prevent the continued occurrence of such land-related incidents, and to forestall the situation to exacerbate into serious agrarian unrest. The brother Masons were seeking to develop a most timely and effective measure that would strike at the heart of the build-up problems of the natives. Thus, together with Dr. Jose Rizal, with seriousness of purpose, the brother Masons had broached and came upon a peaceful social formula;--it was actually an encompassing venture for such visionary national industrialization, that would then very well serve to constitute the missing "Enlightenment project" for the illus-trious enlightenment Masonic movement.

THE ENLIGHTENMENT PROJECT The model for the envisioned "national industrial estate" and to be the "Enlightenment project" will be England, where Dr. Jose Rizal pain-stakingly copied in longhand Don Antonio Morga‘s "Sucesos De las Islas de Filipinas", [xiii] and which at that time was experiencing the blessing of the world‘s first industrial revolution.[xiv]

The technology necessary will come from Europe through Spain, with the help of the Masonic enlightenment network. The Philippines will industrialize and it will be the first such country in Asia to develop and modernize. A great many things can happen with industrialization. There will be greater production of goods and services that will produce much wealth. With much wealth the standard of living of the natives increases, their health is safeguarded, their education is provided. And there will be unity among the people.

This was the dream of Dr. Jose Rizal—for the unity of the people in a peaceful way through excellence in education, science and industries. Dr. Jose Rizal believed that an armed struggle for independence was ill-conceived and not necessary. In Noli Me Tangere, Dr. Jose Rizal speaking thru Father Florentino said, "….our liberty will (not) be secured at the sword's point....we must secure it by making ourselves worthy of it. And when a people reaches that height God will provide a weapon, the idols will be shattered, tyranny will crumble like a house of cards and liberty will shine out like the first dawn".[xv] In the same year (1887), Dr. Rizal shall go to HongKong to avoid the

Page 12: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

intimidation of Catholic authorities, and to practice his profession. In HongKong he‘d be sought to eaves the good news for the "Enlightenment project" from Europe.

THE NEED FOR A VAST LAND

But there is always the need to be discreet and secretive. Because, the group will aim to acquire a vast tract of land to allow for industrial plantation for raw materials to be processed, to mine the earth, and for prepared minerals to fabricate. The Enlightenment group will seek to modernize plantation

Page 11

and industrialize the land. They were willing to sacrifice to secure the vast land that they needed. They wouldn‘t want to have anything to do with the lands held by the Roman church. There will be a need to establish schools that will instruct for science & technology away from the control of the church. And while the funding is too important, this can be readily procured from out of the vast land to be acquired from the government.

THE ROLE OF THE VANGUARDIA RIZALISTAS

It was necessary to establish possession in the land to be acquired. In this regard the Vanguardia Rizalista was formed from out of the 200 farmer-victims in the Dominican fiasco, and its organization and expansion shall be handled by Don Conrado. And indeed, possession and cultivatorship of the land to be acquired would be established by Vanguardia Rizalista. Thus how the group of disciplined Rizalistas became the party in interest of the greater (173,000 has.) San Pedro estate; and it was also how Don Conrado became the unrivaled and respected Supremo of Vanguardia Rizalista for many years until his demise in Norzagaray in 1950s.

From the 200 farmers, the Rizalista movement spread like wildfire all over central Philippines (now Metro-Manila and near provinces), and estab-lished further settlements for land cultivatorship in the old province of Bulacan particularly, in Morong (now Rizal province), in Tayabas (now Quezon), and in Nueva Ecija. [Dr. Jose Rizal had a hand in the planning of this because he had a working knowledge in Surveying and Land Assessment from the first full pledge course he completed in Ateneo Municipal de Manila.][xvi] It was only necessary that possession will be established by cultivation in the altruistic encomienda land that would be applied with the Civil Government upon promulgation of the awaited Royal Decree (from the Crown that would grant the land).[xvii]

Page 13: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

NOTA BENE!

(The only link the people might have known of the cautious Enlightenment project was the mortgage deal of the vast land between Don Mariano and Don Conrado, as had been undertaken pursuant to the Maura law procedure.[xviii] What they never knew was the deeper involvement of Dr. Rizal in the reserved Enlightenment project with his Freemason brothers who were mostly Spanish subjects, known among them were Don Mariano San Pedro and Don Ignacio Conrado. It was so sensitive and guarded, involving as it did the operation of Freemasons to whisk the imperious thunder from out of the powerful friars--since they‘re burning incense to the sentiments of the natives against the civil govt.; and the plan involved the acquisition of vast tract of land to make a productive Utopian industrial estate that would draw the energy and talents of the natives. To involved-Spanish-subjects the effort was meant to secure Spanish rule much away from home. But as it turned, the Enlightenment project would have been a peaceful master stroke to solve the problem of its misrule, at a time when the world was caught up with revolts for liberation of colonies.)

Page 12

THE PROMULGATION OF THE ROYAL DECREE OF 1894 (or THE MAURA LAW)

The news went that the awaited Royal Decree that will award the land would allow for adjustment of second grant of larger ''encomienda'' for altruistic enlightenment projects of Spanish subjects in the colonies.[xix] And soon enough, in 1894, (as Dr. Rizal had adjusted his life to banishment in Dapitan, pursuing lucrative practice of his profession, and on top of all had won a big prize in lottery), the awaited Royal Decree of 1894 (Maura law) was finally promulgated, and was issued in the same year with liberal Rules and Regulations for implementation by Masonic Gov. Gen. Ramon Blanco. But the Rules & Regulations required that only natural persons were qualified to apply, and juridical persons, associations, (and sole corporations and churches, including Orders like Dominican, Augustinian, Jesuit, etc.) were disqualified to secure grant from the said Royal Decree of 1894.[xx]

The most qualified in the group to own bigger land was Don Mariano San Pedro y Esteban, a Spanish subject, an enlightenment Masonic brother, liberal, and with known achievements in public civil works in support of the Civil Government. The plan was for Don Mariano San Pedro to secure (his own) first grant of a modest ''latifundio'' in the old

Page 14: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

Norzagaray (Bulacan) from the Civil Government, and then to seek its adjustment in the Maura law procedure for a second grant of an altruistic ''encomienda'', which is much bigger and greatly more extensive, enough for the Utopian Enlightenment project of the (Masonic Enlightenment) group, and this would be perfected through the legal ''hipoteca'' (mortgage) transaction with the Spanish Mortgage Law. The fund to finance the latter transaction would come from the providential lotto prize winning of Dr. Jose Rizal, courtesy of the undisclosed maneuver of the Masonic Utopian group.

COMPLIANCE WITH STRICT MAURA LAW

Thus, in the exacting Maura Law compliance procedure, Don Mariano E. San Pedro had engaged with Don Ignacio Conrado for the hipoteca (or mortgage) of 173,000 hectares or 214,047 ''quiniones'' for the amount of P8,000 pesos. Earlier, based in the national capital province of Bulacan, Don Ignacio and Don Mariano had already deployed the numerous Vanguardia Rizalistas, taking positions to cultivate whole sections of the extended Bulacan areas, that now "appear to cover lands in the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Rizal, San Pedro-Laguna & Quezon; and as well as the Metropolitan Manila cities such as Quezon City, Caloocan City, Pasay City, Pasig City, and the City of Manila, (including San Pedro de Makati, now Makati City), and thus affecting in general the lands extending from Malolos, Bulacan to the City Hall of Quezon City and as well as the land between Dingalan Bay in the north and Tayabas Bay in the south".[xxi]

THE MAURA LAW (or ROYAL DECREE of FEBRUARY 13, 1894)

[The awaited Royal Decree (Maura Law) of Feb. 13, 1894 was promulgated in the Islands and was published in Gaceta de Manila, No. 106, on April 17, 1894. Under Art. 1, 19 & 21 of Law, being most pertinent provisions thereof, are provided:

'''ARTICLE 1.''' All uncultivated lands, soil, earth, and mountains not included in the following exceptions shall be considered alienable lands:

1st, those which have become subjected to private ownership and have a legitimate owner.

2nd, those which belong to forest zones which the State deems wise to reserve for reasons of public utility. . . .

Page 15: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

'''ARTICLE 19.''' Possessors of alienable lands under cultivation who have not obtained nor applied for composition on the date this decree shall be published in the Gaceta de Manila, may obtain a gratuitous title of property, by means of a possessory information in conformity with the law of civil procedure and the mortgage law whenever they establish any of the following conditions:

1st. Having, or having had, them under cultivation without interruption during the preceding 6 years.

2nd. Having had possession of them for 12 consecutive years, and having had them under cultivation until the date of the information, and for 3 yrs. before that date.

'''ARTICLE 21.''' A term of 1 yr, without grace, is granted in order to perfect information referred to in Arts. 19 & 20.

'''ARTICLE 80.''' By virtue of provision of Art. 21 of Royal Decree of Feb. 13, 1894, the inextensible period for carrying out the information referred in the 2 preceding articles, shall be counted as closed on April 17, 1895. Upon expiration of this period the right of cultivation and possessors to obtainment of free title shall lapse, and full property right in land shall revert to State or, in proper case, to public domain.

This is the law. It involves 3 important dates. Its date of promulgation is Feb. 13, 1894. Its date of publication in Gaceta de Manila, No. 106, for its legal effectivity is on April 17, 1894. The time within which advantage can be taken of the Law immediately expired on April 17, 1895.]

THE MAURA LAW MUST HAVE BEEN SPAIN'S LAST DITCH EFFORT TO INTRODUCE REFORM IN ITS COLONIAL RULE The Maura law must have been the try of Spain to appease the natives in the colonies. It is known all over the world that the Enlightenment movement in Europe had somewhat transformed the imperial states, and became the hope for reform in the colonies. Only the conservative church, mired in ignorance,

Page 16: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

superstition and corruption, was persistent in its tyrannical rule, exacting high rents and retributions from the natives. The prohibition in Maura law against the juridical persons (also associations, corporations and sole corporation) seemed aimed against the tyrannical church, and its Orders: Augustinians, Dominican, Jesuits, etc.) Because of Maura law the land was freed from their monopoly, which caused them to hate Dr. Jose Rizal, and caused him to suffer death.

With the Maura law, the Masonic (mostly Spanish subjects) became the new ''principalia'' that would have presided the enlightenment and the modernization and industrialization of the colonies. (Much like the concept of the Zaibatzu in Japan, blended with the Protestant work ethic and industry of the pioneer settlers in California that brought about the superior Silicon Valley phenomenon.) The situation in the Philippines would have been set for the modernistic rule of the Enlightenment Masonic forces, with Dr. Jose Rizal in the lead.[xxii] But the Church instigated the killing of Dr. Jose Rizal, and this was sadly responded with violent revolution by the illustrious Katipunan of Gat Andres Bonifacio.

DEATH OF DR. JOSE RIZAL, DEATH OFTHE ENLIGHTENMENT PROJECT

Everything was ready to implement the Enlightenment project of Masonic brothers, until the Church had conspired to block its realization. The church caused the removal of Masonic Gov. Gen. Ramon Blanco to assure the complete bent of their murderous wrath against Dr. Jose Rizal. Dr. Rizal was killed in dramatic “firing squad” slaying in Bagumbayan, Manila; and almost immediately the revolution of 1896 greatly exploded, and as predicted by Dr. Rizal, alone and weak without a major state to ally with, a foreign power (USA) "will take interest to grab us as its new found colony."

PASSING AWAY OF ENLIGHTENMENT PERSONALITIES

And it was indeed such a miserable turn of events that eventually saw major discreet characters passing away. Dr. Jose Rizal was killed by firing squad in 1896. Don Mariano was killed in the 1930‘s, allegedly upon orders of Pres. Manuel Quezon. Don Conrado still a bachelor, ever shepherding the Rizalistas and still dreaming of his industrialized Utopia, sadly passed away in Norzagaray in 1950s under the care of his loyal Rizalista student--Don Fabian Castillo (deceased).

GALLANTRY OF THE PATRIARCHY ANDHEIRS OF DON MARIANO E. SAN PEDRO

However, the patriarchy of Don Mariano San Pedro still continued with his only son Don Luis T. San Pedro, who begot an only son, Don Alejandro P. San Pedro. Don Luis San Pedro was killed in action leading his platoon of able Vanguardia Rizalistas fighting against the Japanese; his legal wife Doña Gorgonia Pascual, herself from Bulacan, and an heir to revolutionary tradition of the brave family of the Pascual‘s, was heavily tortured by the Japanese 'kempetais‘ for not revealing information on the fierce and courageous resistance movement. Don Alejandro, himself, had volunteered as Guerilla boy-runner with the General Walter Cushing Guerrilla Unit, undertaking dangerous missions behind enemy lines at a very young age of 14 years.

Don Alejandro P. San Pedro died in the year 1999, only a little earlier than his wife Doña Lourdes San Pedro Dionisio, his cousin and love, who died in the year 2000. Don Alejandro San Pedro was ever an idealistic, liberal, and independent minded man; he was on the verge of implementing a semblance of the Enlightenment Project of Dr. Jose Rizal; it will have become the Philippines‘ own version of California‘s widely tried and copied "Silicon Valley" to be established in Norzagaray, Bulacan.

The Project Feasibility Study was prepared by his son, Prof. Arturo D. San Pedro. Señor, now Don Pearlito D. San Pedro did a work of love in his researches and designs. An elder sibling, Dona Imelda D. San Pedro, was strong in legal prosecution of the estate. The project was grand; it will seek to form the largest industrial estate, and greatly contribute to the national industrialization thrust of the country.[xxiii]

THE ADVENT OF THE INOFFICIOUS GRs 103727 AND 106496

But two scandalous cases of the criminal syndicates reached the highest Court, and in 1996 it gave a contentious verdict that implicated the interests of them innocent. Even as all throughout, the criminals and the squatter syndicates had still continued their reprehensible activities to the end with the Titulo 4136. On the other hand, Don Alejandro had only been starting to orderly distribute the San Pedro estate to the poor and the needy. But the people‘s support in his activities had weakened, as they had now refused to cooperate. Because the criminal squatter-syndicates, in cahoots with corrupt people in the government, have maligned the San Pedro name, and preempted

Page 18: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

the mission for the country of the San Pedro estate. Just because the war had separated them from the truth of the legacy of their parents. And the dark political powers that be have impertinently and brazenly confused the official records of the San Pedro estate.

Page 16

DISCOVERY IN 2002 OF THE ISSUANCE OF TORRENS TITLES TO TITULO COMPOSICION It was however discovered in year 2002 that the original Spanish title (Titulo Composicion con en el Estado) had already been registered with the Land Reg. Act 496, and had complied with all the requirements of P.D. 892 to make the said Spanish titulo valid and perfect. Thru the very orderly Land Reg. Cases N-1861 and N-1876 (which are ''in rem''), bearing the "Questioned Documents Report No. 230-163" submitted by Mr. Antonio B. Rotor, Sr., Documents Examiner of the NBI (with a report of genuineness and authenticity of the Questioned Document--which as is shown in the remarks of the examiner thereof "is in the possession of Prudential Bank"), the lands under the Spanish title (Titulo Composicion) had been issued with OCT O-5797 with Decree 137745 issued on Dec. 6, 1971, and OCT O-5617 with Decree 139093 issued on March 28, 1972. These are legal facts which are supposed to be of official judicial notice to Hon. Supreme Court.

The San Pedro cases in GRs 103727 & 106496, both decided by the Hon. Supreme Court in Dec. 18, 1996, are inferior civil cases (which are ''in res''), and are grossly mistaken in most respects, can’t bind the whole world much less the original Spanish title of San Pedro estate issued in April 25, 1894 and the next of kin and true legal heirs of the late Don Mariano San Pedro (i.e. who is nothing but Don Alejandro P. San Pedro). Thus, for purposes of truth, justice and fair play, legitimacy and justice being the foundation of the much vaunted "Enlightenment project" of the now being implemented Philippine Silicon Valley (in Norzagaray), we are now constrained to point out the defects, and the gross misrepresentation of facts made in the said controversial ''en banc'' Decision of Hon. Supreme Court.

EXEMPTION FROM GRs 103727 & 106496,AND THEIR MANIFEST ERRORS

(We surmise that the Hon. Supreme Court may have preceded from a wide of the mark premise, and may have been grinding away at varying facts, warped in having a judicious agenda which they needed to indulgently stand all along, or simply having highbrow fit

Page 19: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

at that time. But how can we plea the seeming ignoring by the Hon. Supreme Court of the existence of the Titulo Com-posicion con en el Estado of the San Pedro estate for the 4,700 has. concrete latifundio in Norzagaray, Bulacan, in one hand, and on the other hand,—the “informacion possessoria” particularly of the “hypoteca” “contrat0”, registered with the Spanish Mortgage Law (and therefore giving rise to the veritable Spanish land title—the Titulo Informacion Possessoria), for the 173,000 has. encomienda,--except that such was the most classic case of the working of the best feature of the Maura Law…..allowing for the “adjustment” of “land grant” for purposes of an award of an altruistic encomienda. (But for what purpose was that encomienda for, and whose bidding was it? They never asked!) They ignored, and they didn’t care to find out, because the altruistic encomienda was for the Enlightenment project favored and chosen by Dr. Jose Rizal!

'''BUT FIRST''', it is not true that the Spanish Titulo of the San Pedro estate was not registered with Act 496, and therefore it is not also true that the said Titulo has not complied with the requirements of Pres. Decree No. 892. Through the very orderly Land Registration Cases Nos. N-1861 and N-1876 (being cases ''in rem''), bearing Questioned Documents Report 230-163 submitted by Antonio B. Rotor, NBI Documents Examiner (with report of authenticity on the Questioned Document, in possession of Prudential Bank, under Safety Deposit Box 145), the lands under the Spanish title (Titulo Composicion con en el Estado) have been issued with Torrens OCT O-5797 with Decree No. 137745 issued on Dec. 6, 1971, and OCT O-5617 with Decree No. 139093 issued on March 28, 1972.

'''SECOND''', what was at issue in the notorious San Pedro cases should be the dual Spanish titles of the San Pedro estate, viz. the Titulo Composicion con en el Estado and the Titulo Informacion Possessoria, not the Titulo Prop. 4136 (allegedly issued in April 29, 1894), because there is no Spanish title of that sort on record. It is informed that that Titulo 4136 was patently extrapolated by the criminals ignorantly seeking to impress with "large numbers" sought to be apparent on its face, (while the original one, the Titulo Composicion con en el Estado, issued in April 25, 1894, held strength in the smaller first grant of ''latifundio'' of 4,700 has. extant on its face without need for alteration, to be only adjusted within a strict time period, to a second grant of an ''encomienda'' thru Maura Law). It was the altered April 29, 1894 Titulo Prop. 4136 described in the Questioned Docu-ment Report 448-977 of Sept. 2, 1977 that was presented by shady charac-ter named Segundo Tabayoyong based on mere tainted xerox copies. (The original April 25, 1894

Page 20: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

Titulo Composicion was very orderly and officially examined in said Questioned Documents Report 230-163 submitted in Jan. 28, 1963 by NBI Doc. Examiner Antonio Rotor, with no report of errors.)

'''THIRD''', it is not true that "the original of Titulo Composicion of the San Pedro estate was never presented in Court". The said original Titulo Composicion had been presented many times in fact-finding Regional Trial Courts, exactly to determine its genuineness and authenticity. It was bared before Judge Emmanuel Munoz, which caused him to issue same with decree for release of Torrens title. It was exhibited to Judge Benigno Puno which caused him to adjudicate on 70,000 has. in Quezon province in favor of San Pedro heirs. It was presented to Judge Juan Echeverri to ably decide the San Pedro cases in his impeccable Sala. In fact, the original Titulo Composicion with 4,700 has. on its face, without need for alteration, was originally examined very regularly by NBI with a report of genuineness and authenticity. And before it disappeared, it was stolen by Wilfredo Torres in Prudential Bank in Manila, for which he was prosecuted in Manila CFI (Crim. Case 68810) for Estafa and Theft, was imprisoned and made to pay P100,000,000 representing the value of the document.

The world knows, and the undisputable official LRA record shows that the 'original‘ and 'basic‘ Spanish titulo of the San Pedro estate is nothing else but the Titulo Composicion con en el Estado issued on April 25, 1894 for

Page 18

the first ''latifundio'' grant equivalent to 4,700 has. in the old Norzagaray. (Please see the LRA Record in LRC Nos. N-1861 and N-1876). The second Spanish title of the San Pedro estate is the Titulo Informacion Possessoria that came about with the registration with the Spanish Mortgage Law of the informacion possessoria of the hypoteca contrato as proof of the official adjustment award of a second grant of an altruistic ''encomienda'', under the procedure in the 1894 Maura law—necessarily through the legal ''hipoteca'' transaction in Dec. 03, 1894 between Don Mariano San Pedro and Don Ignacio Conrado under Spanish Mortgage Law, ''i.e.'' over 173,000 has. for altruistic and illustrious Enlightenment project of the Rizalistas and the Masonic Utopian group. All laws were complied for both the first ''latifundio'' grant of 4,700 has. in old Norzagaray, Bulacan, and the second (adjustment) grant of an altruistic ''encomienda'' of 173,000 has.

'''FOURTH''', these San Pedro cases in G.R.s 103727 and 106496 are about criminal parties corrupting and prostituting our legal

Page 21: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

system to satisfy their greed. The claimant-heirs led by Don Engracio San Pedro, are fake claimant-heirs, with Don Engracio San Pedro only used as an ''alias'' by criminal person whose real name was 'Pedro Ignacio‘. Why he was allowed with unclean hands this far to vent his criminalities is the wonder of privileged Philippine justice system. (The judicially declared 'next of kin‘ and 'true legal heir‘ of Don Mariano by Spl. Proc. Case 312-B was Don Alejandro P. San Pedro, was not made a party in said Supreme Court cases, since the "appealed Order of Judge Fernandez" in G.R. 106496 was instrumental in his final declaration as the next of kin and true legal heir of Don Mariano San Pedro (by Spl. Pr. 312-B), thus making his interest in the said cases allied with government, while being pensively dissuaded to intervene in said San Pedro cases by Hon. Justice Vicente V. Mendoza.) (And the Spl. Pr. Case 312-B‘s declaration of Don Alejandro as 'next of kin‘ and 'true legal heir‘ of Don Mariano is given imprimatur by Hon. Supreme Court, themselves, by their ''en banc'' Resolution of Jan. 26, 1989.)

And while the Appellants-Petitioners in these cases are criminal, the Respondents Aurelio Ocampo, Dominador Buhain and Teresa dela Cruz had likewise criminally conspired to landgrab. They were able to secure from the Registry of Deeds of Quezon City titles to portions of the San Pedro estate, particularly Transfer Certificate of Titles (TCTs) Nos. 1386, 8982, 951975-951977, 313624, 279067, 1412, 353054, 372592, 149120, 86404, 17874-17875, all emanating from the invalid Original Cert. of Title (OCT) 614 and TCTs 255544 and 264124, both derivatives of the notorius OCT 333; (2) that the aforesaid defendants were able to acquire ownership of portions of the estate through deceit, fraud, bad faith and misrepresentation; (3) that OCT 614 and 333 had been cancelled by and thru final and executory decision dated March 21, 1988 in relation to letter recommendations by Bureau of Land, Bureau of Forest Devt., the Solicitor General, in regard to Central Bank (CB) Circulars dated April 7 & 23, 1971, Sept. 12, 1972 and June 10, 1980. There is a failure of justice, here! The Philippines is crying for justice, here!

Page 19'''FIFTH''', the set-up would have been alright that the dishonest and unlawful San Pedro claimants are well contained in the pool-proof system of the Honorable Supreme Court, without involving and linking the legal and legitimate estate of Don Mariano which the state and the government also owe the duty to protect, ''i.e''. by virtue of ''parens patriae'' and the property rights of helpless citizens. The Hon. Supreme Court will just have to prosecute all criminals now in its jurisdiction, without favoring anyone, as they‘re all with unclean hands.

Page 22: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

After all, the Hon. Supreme Court have already determined the next of kin and true legal heir of Don Mariano--who had founded the Don Mariano E. San Pedro Foundation, for the good of the country, and through his holographic Will probated in 1994 had invested this with virtually the whole of the San Pedro estate to make good that objective—without any complaint from his heirs. (The setting up of the Philippines Silicon Valley project in Norzagaray, Bulacan was the principal instruction of Don Alejandro to his three sons--but now only two remain today.)

The registration of the April 25, 1894 Titulo Composicion with Act 496 could not have been ignored by Hon. Supreme Court, after all, it is of Judicial Notice to them; and its compliance with PD 892 is all but ''fait accompli''. It is only when the Hon. Supreme Court sought to involve the lawful San Pedro estate and tried to obliterate it, that the facts of its ruling became jumbled and appeared confused.

THE SAN PEDRO ESTATE HAS NOW BECOME A PERFECT LAND ESTATE WITH COMPLETE SPANISH TITLES THAT HAVE PASSED THE STRICT REQUIREMENTS OF PRES. DEC. 892 They can‘t possibly void the San Pedro estate because it is a natural adjunct of the remains of Don Mariano E. San Pedro, particularly as recipient of the two valid Spanish land titles: viz. the Titulo Composicion con en el Estado and the Titulo Informacion Possessoria. ''Titulo Composicion con en el Estado'' of April 25, 1894, because its two land registration cases with the Torrens system in 1972, in the time of Dictator who tried to slay it, are cases ''in rem'' that have notice to the whole world. And as a result, the question of validity of Spanish titulo issued on April 25, 1894, after the same was duly examined and found in order by Land Reg. Court in ''in-rem'' proceedings, has become ''res judicata.'' The Titulo Informacion Possessoria itself had also passed the strict requirements of PD 892 particularly by virtue of Original Cert. of Title 374 of the Register of Deeds of Bulacan, issued in 1910 and with Decree No. 4627 under Plan II-668, Accession 178829, consisting of 18,982,262.4387 sq.mtrs, and as well as also by virtue of Original Cert. of Title 4134[xxiii], with Plan II-987, Accession No. 178829, consisting of 10,982,745 sq.mtrs., under Decree no. 602939, located in Brgys. Mayamot, San Isidro and Cupang, in Antipolo.

Page 20

Therefore, the said ''en banc'' Decision of Hon. Supreme Court, in so far as it prejudiced the San Pedro estate and its two valid

Page 23: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

Spanish titles (viz.: the Titulo Composicion con en el Estado and the Titulo Informacion Possessoria), is in fact ''ultra vires'' on its part; and, hence, it acquired no jurisdiction on said San Pedro estate and its two Spanish land titles. Forcing the issue would result into grave abuse of discretion that would result into lack of jurisdiction. The Hon. Supreme Court cannot now Order a new trial to correct its mistake because doing so will starkly result to double jeopardy against judicially confirmed next of kin and true legal heir of Don Mariano San Pedro.

Neither the Hon. Supreme Court can promulgate today, ''motu propio'', a new judgment to correct the previous one where it erred because of stark absence of fair trial, and therefore would be lacking and be without due process. And, indeed, the validity of April 25, 1894 ''Titulo Composicion'' has become ''res judicata'' after it passed strict examination in L.R. Cases N-1861 & N-1876, which are cases ''in rem'' that acquired notice and jurisdiction to the whole world, and as proof thereof have resulted the issuance of the OCTs 0-5617 and 0-5797, together with equally perfect and valid TCTs that have now passed to third parties who are "innocent purchasers for value."

By its registration with the Land Reg. Act 496, and particularly by its compliance with the strict requirements of Pres. Decree 892, the San Pedro estate has now become a perfect land estate, with perfect land titles, titles which are imprescriptible, unvoidable, free from laches, and valid till the end of time.

SUPREME COURT BECOMES SUSPECT IN CORRUPT CASES

To sustain the criminalities of Private-Respondents in said cases was to uphold graft and corruption in private land transactions and to bind the hands of upright government agencies that prosecuted these anomalies. Obviously, the more honest and factual arrangements of things were missing, or were ignored by the Hon. Supreme Court. How we wish there was a better approach like remanding the cases to lower Court for retrial with strict guidelines against unclean hands and the vindication of rights of innocents who are victims in these cases. Together with this approach was to allow the Bill in Congress that calls for death penalty against the use of fake titles in land transactions. They are the greatest sources of graft and corruption in the country, and by compromised way of deciding cases that tolerates fake land titles the Hon. Supreme Court becomes the eminent institution that abets graft and corruption, with the aid of lawyers acting as indispensable agents of lucrative corrupt cases.

THE LARGEST CAPER OF ORTIGAS

Expose of Justice Bidin

[It is also perceived by many that the Ortigas case[xxiv] was related to the San Pedro case, in that Ortigas was guilty also of using fake titles to landgrab big portions of San Pedro estate. In the Ortigas case, the Hon. Supreme Court decided against the WW II Widows and Orphans Assn., and as revealed by Hon. Justice Abdulwahid Bidin who dissented from majority opinion, "the Court resolved the issue on the basis of facts which are not extant in the records of the case (GR 97197)". Said Hon. Justice Bidin: "xx these 'facts'…. should not have been considered by the Court for the simple reason that they were not even alleged by respondent (Ortigas) itself nor do they appear on the records before us. In so doing, xx the Court overstretch-ed the concept of judicial notice." This is quite unprecedented, he said.

Justice Bidin denied the alleged precedent cases of Ortigas, because he said: "Ortigas v. Ruiz (supra') involves a parcel of land covered by TCT 227758 with an area …located in Pasig, Rizal. There is no identity of subject matter between Ortigas v. Ruiz and the instant case. They refer to different parcels of land covered by different transfer certificates of title. On the other hand, the 1906 case of Ultramar v. Domingo involves a parcel of land known as "Hacienda de Mandaluyon" (a fake title used by Ortigas, comment supplied) without any specification as to its location, area and boundaries. Hence, it cannot be said that the parcel of land applied for in this case is identical with the lots covered by Ortigas' title. As stated in the Decision sought to be reconsidered, Decree 1425 (alleged by Ortigas to embrace the lots covered by its TCTs 77652 77653), covers 17 has. lot located at Sta. Ana, Manila, while the lot applied for is alienable and disposable as certified by the Bureau of Lands and the Bureau of Forestry and has an area of 156 has. located in Quezon City, four (4) kms. away from Sta. Ana, Manila".

Further Expose and Clarification of Hon. Justice Bidin

Hon. Justice Bidin revealed that: "The Hon. Supreme Court sustained the allegation of Ortigas that the origin of TCTs 77652 and 77653 has been correctly identified by Court of Appeals as OCT 351, notwithstanding the fact that said TCTs themselves show on their faces that they have been derived from OCTs 19, 334, 336 and 337".

Page 25: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

Justice Bidin further clarified: "As stated in the decision sought to be reconsidered, Decree 1425 (alleged by Ortigas to embrace the lots covered by its TCTs 77652 and 77653), covers a 17-ha. lot located at Sta. Ana, Manila, while the lot applied for by WIDORA under Titulo 4136 (or Titulo Informacion Possessoria) is alienable and disposable as certified by Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Forestry and has an area of 156 has. located in Quezon City four (4) kms. away from Sta. Ana, Manila. The

Page 22

procedure now adopted by Hon. Supreme Court in arriving at its conclusion that TCTs 77652 and 77653 were derived from OCT 351 contrary to what is stated in the faces of said TCTs, finds no support in law as it amounted to a correction and/or alteration of the TCTs in violation of existing applicable law. Under Sec. 112 of Act 496 (now Sec. 108, PD 1529), no TCT or OCT may be amended or altered except upon order of proper Regl. Trial Court". Please see the Dissenting Opinion of Justice A. Bidin in G.R. 97197. (Justice Bidin exposed such grave prostitution of law, which is so unprecedented!)

Mere 1972 location map, allowed by the Hoodlooms in Robes?

And to think that the Survey Plan submitted to the Hon. Court by Ortigas as secondary evidence to prove the contents of alleged Decree 1425 issued in 1905 is only a mere location map prepared by its own surveyor in 1972--when Martial Law was declared by the Dictator--or 67 years after its alleged registration (and not the blueprint copy of the original survey plan with approved plan and technical description), is beyond doubt abetting a criminal act of land-grabbing. It is insinuated by malicious quarters that large amount of funds changed hands in this case. And that is why former Pres. Joseph Estrada called the Honorable Supreme Court Justices as the "hoodlums in robes".

Latest land-grabbing project of Ortigas

But the Ortigas caper does not end there at all. Their most recent land grabbing project is the ten (10) hectares erstwhile campus of the Rizal provincial capitol in Pasig City in Brgy. San Antonio. The property falls strictly on the old Kalookan sphere of San Pedro estate. So as not to disrupt the operation of the province of Rizal, the San Pedro estate has chosen to suspend its right on the property, and thus tolerated the property to remain in the hold and usufructory of Rizal provincial government.

Page 26: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

                                      The Most Recent Landgrabbing Project of Ortigas

Page 23

Landgrabbing Through a Fraudulent Deed of Donation

It turned out, however, that Ortigas had surreptitiously smuggled a Trojan "Deed of Donation" in favor of the Rizal provincial government, and with the condition that the Rizal provincial government shall maintain its use of the property as situs of the Rizal provincial capitol, and that once the Rizal provincial government has ceased to use the site as situs of the provincial capitol, then the property shall return to Ortigas ownership.

But the owner of the property, in truth and in fact, are the Rizalistas and the heirs of Don Mariano San Pedro, by virtue of Information Possessoria which Don Mariano E. San Pedro held consisting of his mortgage of the property to Don Ignacio Conrado representing the vanguardia Rizalista and the Freemasons (for their "Enlightenment project"), and such was registered with the Spanish Mortgage law to constitute the virtual ''Titulo informacion possessoria'' under Article 19, Section 3 of Royal Decree of 1894 (or the Maura law ).

The Ortigas‘ never had any title on the property. The big title they have been showing to landgrab the properties of the old Enlightenment project of Dr. Jose Rizal and the San Pedro estate refers to the 1906 case of Ultramar v. Domingo that involves a parcel of land known as "Hacienda de Mandaluyon" (a fake title used by Ortigas--comment supplied) without any specification as to its location, area and boundaries.

It would have been two years, since the property was enclosed

Page 27: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

with a fence without any markings; leaving the public to dismiss the brazen activity as owing to the powerful Rizal provincial government, until a frenetic development activity has ensued, but still without any signs or markings or any indication. It is only of late, that evidences are shown that it is Ortigas that‘s undertaking the commercial development, and that contrary to the ruses and tricks, the Rizal provincial government has already vacated the area.

Under the Table Deal with Illegal Donation

The implication of this is very glaring, that there was an under the table deal that transpired, whereof the holders of power in Rizal government have abandoned the interest of Rizal province, and now obviously honors the fraudulent Deed of Donation with condition for reversion of the property to the illegal Donor in the event it is (impossibly) no longer used by the Rizal provincial government.

Why should anybody in Rizal province agree with scheming land-grabber that it can now acquire the precious land it has since been using for the good of the province, when its need to use the property never ceases; now the province is defrauded and become much poorer.

Page 24

Calling the Help of the Enlightenment Movement This is a great case for the enlightenment movement to get into. Now is the time for them to act. We are waiting for your helping hand. The San Pedro Foundation is beaten in the draw to take over the property, because, its assets, while immense, are yet immobile, and the Foundation cannot immediately act to prosecute its interest; let alone employ a ''pro bono'' lawyer from Public Attorneys Office, since it is a propertied client; never mind the difficulty of its case. But it has the better title in its favor together with the Rizalistas, to own the property.

Great Value of Properties Involved

The property by its size, constituting more or less 100,000 sq. mtrs., and at the rate of about P100,000/sq.mtr. in the area, would easily fetch P10B. More than enough for the whole Enlightenment movement today to build a strong human capital base and to effectuate efficient national innovation system, to make Filipino nation knowledge-based society, and to always

Page 28: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

make militant the fight against the infamous things: corruption, ignorance, poverty, injustice and superstition.

Indeed, there are many legal large properties within the San Pedro estate (Titulo Informacion Possessoria), each worth billions, enough to transform and change the nation through the Sovereignian Rizalists and the Enlightenment movement (i.e. Vanguardia Rizalistas, Knights of Rizal, La Liga Filipina, Enlightenment League & Moral Society, Freemasonry, JRU, The Enlightenment University System (ThEUS), and like organizations, progressive groups, and scientific institutions, all to be supported by the Enlightenment Patron—San Pedro Foundation, in accord with the enlightenment vision of Dr. Jose Rizal for a great Philippines: technologically and scientifically advanced, morally upright, bountiful, powerful, proud, peaceful and free!

NOTES:

The San Pedro Estate and its Two Spanish Titles AlreadyPassed the Strict Requirements of Pres. Dec. No. 892 WHATEVER the landdeveloper-landgrabbers, the corrupt government agencies, the envying persons that abhor the San Pedros and the Rizalists, those who do not feel convenient the Rizalistas‘ gaining power and the San Pedros nothing but prestige, and the ignoramuses that do not know a bit about land law, say about Spanish titles is now academic, because the Spanish titles of the San Pedro estate (viz.: the Titulo Composicion con en el Estado and the Titulo Informacion Possessoria) are already registered with Land Registration Act 496, and has passed the strict requirements of Presidential Decree 892.

Page 25

Who dares say, no Spanish titulo is allowed by law anymore? What for is the strict requirements for compliance by P.D. 892, IF COMPLIANCE THEREAT WOULD NOT RESULT TO THE NEEDED AUTHORIZATION TO PURSUE OWNERSHIP OF THE REST OF VAST LANDS OF THE LEGAL ESTATE? What is this, PD 892 would promise exemption from its harsh rules upon difficult compliance, only to retake the land, or give it to somebody else? Only the Spanish titles of the San Pedro estate had passed the requirements of PD 892 for its vast lands in

Page 29: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

Norzagaray, Bulacan and the Central region of the Philippines, nothing else! It is because, only the San Pedro estate and its two Spanish titles has passed the strict requirements of stringent Maura Law (for large estates in the central region), nothing else! The Maura law is the last legal system of Spanish Land Registration. All big lands must have been registered in Maura law. And changes perforce must be recorded with its heralded system of land adjustment. (After Maura law, all previous systems of Spanish title of land ownership, if there be any, are no longer honored.)

Titulo Informacion Possessoria constitutes 173,000 has.

In the case of the Titulo Composicion con en el Estado of the San Pedro estate, two Torrens titles (OCTs 5617 & 5706) were issued to portion (445 has.) of vast land: of a concrete ''latifundio''--4,700 has. in Norzagaray as Don Mariano's permanently owned property of mineral land which he used in his public works project with the Civil Government. [In its Land Reg. Proceedings, the 445 has. were allowed by the Court to be titled in the Torrens System upon validation of the said 445 has. land, and the establishment of authenticity and legality of the Spanish title (Titulo Composicion con en el Estado). And in the case of the Titulo Informacion Possessoria of the said San Pedro estate of the vaster land: of an altruistic ''encomienda'' – wherein 173,000 has. were granted for the Rizalists, Masons, and Enlightenment movement for the Enlightenment project, but under the care and thrust of Don Mariano San Pedro. [This Titulo Informacion Possessoria itself had passed the strict requirements of PD 892 particularly by virtue of Original Cert. of Title 374 of the Register of Deeds of Bulacan, issued in 1910 and with Decree 4627 under Plan II-668, Accession No. 178829, consisting of 18,982,262.4387 sq.mtrs, and as well as Original Cert. of Title, with Plan II-987, Accession No. 178829, consting of 10,982,745 sq.mtrs., under Decree no. 602939, located in Brgys. Mayamot, San Isidro and Cupang, in Antipolo.]

The said vast Spanish titles had been approved, and their coverage honored to constitute the vast land of San Pedro estate. The whole San Pedro estate (due to approval of its Spanish titles by the Land Registration Court, and as well as its compliance with the requirements of Presidential Decree 892) is honored by various Hon. Courts of law and most agencies of the government to constitute the Titulo Composicion con en el Estado for 4,700 has. in Norzagaray, Bulacan, and the Titulo Informacion Possessoria for 173,000 has. in the national capital region and near provinces.

Looking Back for Clarity

In the G.R. 103727 and G.R.106496, the Honorable Supreme Court manifested confusion between the fake April 29, 1894 Titulo Propriedad 4136, and the genuine and authentic April 25, 1894 Titulo Composicion con en el Estado. The Honorable Supreme Court mistook the authentic April 25, 1894 Titulo Composicion for the fake extrapolated April 29, 1894 Titulo 4136, and began mentioning of the findings of the shadowy National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Document Examiner Segundo Tabayoyong in 1989 (who himself has been involved in irregularities).

The authentic April 25, 1894 Spanish Titulo (Titulo Composicion con en el Estado) was regularly found true and authentic by the circumspect NBI Document Examiner Antonio Rotor, Sr. in 1968, without any erasures and attempt at extrapolations, because its strength lies in the truthful smaller first grant of ''latifundio'' of 4,700 has. extant on its face without need for alteration, to be only adjusted within strict time period, to a second grant of an altruistic ''encomienda'' with Titulo informacion possessoria through Maura Law.

At any rate, in the said GRs 103727 and 106496, the judicially confirmed "next of kin" and "true legal heir" of Don Mariano San Pedro who is Don Alejandro P. San Pedro is on the side of the Government, because the respondent Judge Oscar Fernandez was instrumental in his timely “intervention” therein, and his final heirship declaration in Judge Fernandez’ Spec. Proc. Case 312-B, (''i.e.'' against squatter syndicate king ''alias'' Don Engracio San Pedro, whose real name was Pedro Ignacio.)

(The declaration of Don Alejandro San Pedro as the "next of kin" and the true legal heir of Don Mariano San Pedro by Executive Judge Cesar Ofilada in the Special Proceeding Case 312-B of the Regional Trial Court in Malolos, Bulacan, is also given ''imprimatur'' by the Honorable Supreme Court through its ''en banc'' Resolution dated January 26, 1989.)

(But Judge Oscar Fernandez, if he was true and proper, would have enlightened the Hon. Supreme Court on the real facts of the case—his Regional Trial Court sala being the outstanding fact-finding body in the judicial hierarchy. However, Atty. Edistio Soriano, in his pleading for umpteenth motion for reconsideration to the Hon. Supreme Court was complaining that Judge Fernandez was already applying to them (Petitioners/Appelees) as Lawyer to prosecute their case.)

accord with law on land ownership. This is the only time Hon. Supreme Court exhibited in SCRA a "MAP OF LAND CLAIM AND OWNERSHIP", and emphasized its most legal "public,notorious, adverse to whole world" claim of land ownership.

Spanish title alone can validate large estates in urban areas This much is private land of the San Pedro estate, entrusted for the Enlight-enment project of Dr. Jose Rizal and the Vanguardia Rizalistas (who made possession and cultivatorship of the vast land), together with the Free-masons, La Liga Filipina, and the whole of Enlightenment movement today, and to the extent of the Enlightenment stand, the JRU, Knights of Rizal, the Enlightenment League and Moral Society, and the peaceful progressive organizations, and scientific institutions.

You cannot own vast tracts of land in the urban areas without a Spanish title, otherwise you will resort to the Public Land Law, where government grant of land is small, and valid only to public lands. But this is private land. What has become private land cannot anymore revert to public land! It is elementary in law that the registration of the Titulo Composicion con en el Estado and Titulo Informacion Possessoria of the San Pedro estate with Land Reg. Act 496 (or Torrens Title) makes the San Pedro estate and its two Spanish titles INDEFEASIBLE, IMPRESCRIPTIBLE, UNVOID-ABLE, free from laches, and valid till the end of time. This is the title of the San Pedro heirs and the vanguardia Rizalista and the Enlightenment movement, thru San Pedro estate trust, respectively to the 4,700 has. in Norzagaray and to the 173,000 has.-land that―covers lands in the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Rizal, San Pedro-Laguna & Quezon; and such Metro cities as Quezon, Caloocan, Pasay, Pasig, Manila, (and San Pedro de Makati), thus affecting in general lands extending from Malolos, Bulacan to City Hall of Quezon City and the land area between Dingalan Bay in the north and Tayabas Bay in the South."

The Enlightenment movement to hold vigil for Titulo Informacion Possessoria

The Rizalistas will fight for the land that had been possessed and cultivated by their forbears to continue the peaceful revolution (Part II) started in the Enlightenment project of Dr. Jose Rizal. We will fight for this remaining hope of the patriots (particularly

Page 33: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

the Rizalistas) and the enlightenment movement to realize the dream of the Motherland.

To repeat, the registration of the Spanish titles of the San Pedro estate with the Land Registration Act 496 (or Torrens Title) makes San Pedro estate as such INDEFEASIBLE, IMPRESCRIPTIBLE, UNVOIDABLE, FREE FROM LACHES, PERFECT and VALID till the end of time! This is the kind of title the Vanguardia Rizalista and the Enlightenment movement have, through San Pedro estate thrust, to 173,000 has. land ― covering the lands in the provinces of Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Rizal, San Pedro-Laguna and Quezon; and such Metro Manila cities as Quezon, Caloocan, Pasay, Pasig, and Manila, (including San Pedro de Makati), thus affecting in general lands extending from Malolos, Bulacan to City Hall of Quezon City and the land area between Dingalan Bay in the north and Tayabas Bay in the South."

Together with these are, from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP), the Land Bank Capital Bonds of heirs of Don Mariano E. San Pedro, with the DMESPFI. as the Testamentary administrator and executor thereof (for the Rizalistas, the Masons, and the Enlightenment movement—for the Enlight-enment project), ref.: Land Bank Capital Bonds—Interim Certificates Nos. 180-1, 180-2, 180-3, and 180-4, all under Series of 1968, each valued at P400,000,000, totalling P1,600,000,000 with 7% interest per annum, as certified to by the Central Bank of the Philippines on December 14, 1989.

Also included for consolidation in the San Pedro estate entrusted for the Enlightenment Project and the Enlightenment Movement are the 554 has. in Tungkong Mangga, in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan; the 370,208 sq.mtrs. under Lots 888-New, 949-B, 1049-B, 1048-B in Pasong Putik, Novaliches, Quezon City; and Lots 946, 947, 948 with the Transfer Certificate of Titles (TCTs) Nos. 39086, 39072, in Brgy.

Rizalists to Struggle Determinedly for EnlightenmentUsing the Titulo Informacion Possessoria

The Rizalists will struggle determinedly to bring about greater Enlighten-ment in the world today. This will need for greater effort of the Enlighten-ment movement to strengthen their vigilance to Dare to Know! And to Fight the Infamous Things! The infamous things are the perplexing injustices, poverty, ignorance, superstitution, and graft and corruption. The

Enlightenment wealth and its basis in the land of Titulo Informacion Possessoria (that has been possessed and placed under cultivatorship by our forbears), shall be used—to continue the peaceful social revolution started in the Enlightenment project of Dr. Jose Rizal.

The Don Mariano E. San Pedro Foundation, Inc. The Don Mariano E. San Pedro Foundation, Inc. is the only corporate foundation allowed by law, thru the SEC, to use the name "Don Mariano E. San Pedro" in a foundation. This foundation has been established by Don Alejandro P. San Pedro, Sr. since 1980s to consolidate and administer the legal San Pedro Estate according to the altruistic vision of the San Pedro Patriarchs. By the Will of Don Alejandro, the San Pedro Foundation has become the owner/trustee of the San Pedro estate. Don Alejandro was the lone judicially determined next of "kin" and true legal heir of Don Mariano. He achieved this exclusive confirmation of heirship from Hon. Courts of law. [Pls. see Bulacan RTC Court Orders (SPC 312-B) dated Jan. 31, 1996 and June 13, 1997, with direct mandate and ''imprimatur'' from Hon. Supreme Court thru its ''en banc'' Resolution dated Jan. 26, 1989.]

PIADECO and other groups lost their cases in attempting to own San Pedro estate

THE FABIAN CASTILLO GROUP and PIADECO lost their San Pedro heir-ship case in the jurisdictional and fact-finding Spl. Proc. Case 312-B (Br. 15,

Page 30

RTC, Mal., Bul.), and it is not the only group that now traces their San Pedro claim thru Don Conrado Ignacio "mortgage". They are preceded in this claim by Maria Socorro Tandag. Sadly, they also all lost their cases in the RTC up to the Hon. Supreme Court. (Pls. ref., ''inter alia'', to Dir. of Forstry. vs. Munoz, SCRA 1968, and the Oct. 11, 1977 fact-finding ruling/ Order in jurisdictional SPC 312-B, Br. IV, Fifth Judicial District, 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 10 years and, therefore, the mortgage action against the Estate in ques-tion 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; Conrado‘s claim in Intervention is manifestly sham and frivolous because there is no law which makes the

Page 35: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

mortgagee ''ipso facto'' the owner of the property mortgaged upon the mortgagor‘s failure to pay the debt or mortgaged upon the mortgagor‘s 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 con-tract between Don Mariano and Ignacio 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 Mariano San Pedro (Art. 2132 to Art. 2139, NCC); hence, it would seem from the evidence, that the obligation of Don Mariano E. San Pedro, if there was any, involving the Estate in question had already been fully paid or ex-tinguished; moreover, there likewise remained unrebutted and uncontro-verted (Tsn, pp. 3, 4 & 5, hearing of Feb. 4, 1977) 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.)

WITH THEIR TITULO INFORMACION POSSESSORIA MORTGAGE CLAIM AS THEIR BASIS, the groups identified with Don Conrado Ignacio, particularly PIADECO, continue to hold on to the San Pedro estate, and to which they further add-up the―double II plans and as well as certain―Swo plans acquired by Don Ignacio Conrado in the course of his possession and management of the mortgaged Titulo Informacion Possessoria. The Don Mariano E. San Pedro Foundation has now legally requisitioned the so called estate of Don Ignacio Conrado inclusive of the mortgaged Titulo Informacion Possessoria of Don Mariano E. San Pedro, and as well as its expansion with ―double II plans, and others. These are such an immense volume of wealth & property, and when totally controlled by the San Pedro Foundation and the Enlightenment movement, can change our course in history, regain for us our honor, and change our destiny as a nation.

Mercado at once took an appeal, but the venal Weyler moved a force of artillery to Kalamba and quartered it upon the town as if rebellion openly existed there. Then the court representatives evicted the people from their homes and directed them to remove all their buildings from the estate lands within twenty-four hours. In answer to the plea that they had appealed to the Supreme Court the tenants were told their houses could be brought back again if they won their appeal.

No.5, (from a Speech delivered in November 16, 1996 Plaridel Masonic Temple in a symposium on Rizal jointly sponsored by the Scottish Rite Masons of the Philippines and the Knights of Rizal). “If secular injustice was bad, sectarian injustice was worse. The Rizals were Catholics but they were not of the see-no-evil, speak-no-evil variety. While in Spain, Rizal realized that the friars were the problem and not the solution to the problem in the Philippines. He wrote the Noli Me Tangere exposing the abuses of the friars. The shaft of Noli shattered the once sacred halo of the friars. Noli provided the powerful friars the casus belli against Rizal. Their rage escalated to an inferno when Rizal again denounced the corruption of the Dominicans in the Calamba estate affair. The Calamba estate originally belonged to the Jesuits. Initially, it covered only a small part of the town. Its ownership passed to the Dominicans. Soon, the Dominicans expanded its area and the estate covered almost the whole of Calamba. But while the estate was growing more and more in size, the Dominicans were paying less and less in taxes. The stink was picked up by the nose of the authorities and the Civil Governor of Laguna was instructed by Governor-General Terrero to start an inquiry. The tenants of the estate, which included the Rizal clan, sought the assistance of Dr. Jose Rizal. Rizal painstakingly investigated the facts about the hacienda and revealed the misdeeds

Page 39: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

of the Dominicans in a public meeting. Some 60 families were emboldened by the courage of Rizal and they petitioned the Governor-General to draw up more equitable lease agreement between them and the Dominicans. Historian O.D. Corpuz observed that this was the “...first agrarian reform proposal in Filipinas”. But Austen Coates observed that it was the beginning of the end for Rizal for ‘he was attacking the friars on their most sensitive point --- money.’ Predictably, the Dominicans struck back hard. They castigated the alcalde for not placing the town under martial law. In response, the alcalde sought permission to arm the militia. He used the dreaded guardia civil to monitor the movements of the people. The people were also warned by the Dominicans that ‘if they were not obedient, the dire chastisement of God would fall upon them within not many days.’

“The show and use of force did not break the will of the tenants. The wily Dorninicans then shifted their strategy. They decided to use the courts of law to eject the tenants. They filed ejectment cases in the court of Laguna. They won as

Page 33

expected. Rizal's brother, Paciano, and his brother-in-law, Manuel Hidalgo, did not easily give up the fight. They led the tenants appeal to the Real Audiencia in Manila. Again, they lost their appeal but they continued knocking at the door of justice. Paciano prepared the final appeal to the Tribunal Supremo in Madrid. He requested Rizal to fly to Madrid to assist in the appeal. They expected the highest court of Spain to be less biased against the Filipino tenants.

“The Dominicans shattered their last remaining hope. They jumped the gun on the high tribunal. They forced the eviction of the tenants before their appeal could be decided. Governor-General Weyler sent a detachment of artillery to Calamba. The tenants were given 24 hours to leave or their houses would be either destroyed or burned. The Dominicans themselves chose which house to destroy and which house to burn. The quick wrecking operation rendered some 300 families landless and homeless.

“Among the victims, the family of Rizal was hardest hit. Rizal's parents had to take refuge in the house of their daughter Narcisa. Paciano was forcibly deported to Mindoro. Manuel Hidalgo was arrested as a filibustero and then deported to Bohol. Other brothers-in-law were hunted and driven to live the lives of outlaws. Rizal's mother bore the ire of the friars. She was arrested and for the second time was slapped a false charge. The charge was for improperly using the surname Alonzo. She was ordered to be imprisoned at Santa Cruz, which could be reached more convenienfly by boat via Laguna de Bay. She offered to pay her boat fare and that of her escort. She was refused. They compelled her to walk the long distance. She did though she was then 64 years old and almost blind. It took her four days to complete her journey to jail. Upon seeing her pitiable state, the civil governor of Sta. Cruz immediately ordered her release. She then fled to Hongkong where her husband Francisco and son Paciano had

Page 40: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

earlier escaped. The experience shattered the faith of Rizal's mother. In a letter to Bluementritt, Rizal wrote: ‘It is a lamentable consequence of Dominican hatred that my aged mother, who was so pious and religious, now herself says that she can believe no more. She says everything is a fraud’."

[viii] Craig, p. 88-90. “Now comes a disgruntled judge, who had not received the attention at the Mercado home which he thought his dignity demanded. Out of revenge he ordered Mrs. Rizal to be conducted at once to the provincial prison, not in the usual way by boat, but, to cause her greater annoyance, afoot around the lake. It was a long journey from Kalamba to Santa Cruz, and the first evening the guard and his prisoner came to a village where there was a festival in progress. Mrs. Rizal was well known and was welcomed in the home of one of the prominent families. The festivities were at their height when the judge, who had been on horseback and so had reached the town Page 88earlier, heard that the prisoner, instead of being in the village calaboose, was a guest of honor and apparently not suffering the annoyance to which he had intended to subject her. He strode to the house, and, not content to knock, broke in the door, splintered his cane on the poor constable’s head, and then exhausted himself beating the owner of the house.

“Anyone who cares to know just how ridiculous and inconsistent the judicial system of the Philippines then was would do well to try to unravel the mixed details of the half dozen charges, ranging from cruelty through theft to murder, which were made against Mrs. Rizal without a shadow of evidence. One case was

Page 34

trumped up as soon as another was finished, and possibly the affair would have dragged on till the end of the Spanish administration had not her little daughter danced before the Governor-General once when he was traveling through the country, won his approval, and when he asked what favor he could do for her, presented a petition for her mother’s release."

[ix] Ibid., p. 131. “The printer of ‘Noli Me Tangere’ lived in a neighboring street, and, like most printers in Germany, worked for a very moderate compensation, so that the volume of over four hundred pages cost less than a fourth of what it would have done in England, or one half of what it would cost in economical Spain. Yet even at so modest a price, Rizal was delayed in the publication until one fortunate morning he received a visit from a countryman, Doctor Maximo Viola, who invited him to take a pedestrian trip. Rizal responded that his interests kept him in Berlin at that time as he was awaiting funds from home with which to publish a book he had just completed, and showed him the manuscript. Doctor Viola was much interested and offered to use the money he had put aside for the trip to help pay the publisher. So the work went ahead, and when the delayed remittance from his family arrived, Rizal repaid the obligation. Then the two sallied forth on their trip.”

[x] Ibid., p. 123. “Thru Spaniards who still remembered José’s uncle,

Page 41: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

he joined a lodge of Masons called the “Acacia.” At this time few Filipinos in Spain had joined the institution, and those were mostly men much more mature than himself. Thus he met leaders of Spanish national life who were men of state affairs and much more sedate, men with broader views and more settled opinions than the irresponsible class with whom his school companions were accustomed to associate. A distinction must be made between the Masonry of this time and the much more popular institution in which Filipinos later figured so largely when Prof. Miguel Morayta became head of the Grand Lodge which for a time was a rival of that to which the “Acacia” owed allegiance, and finally triumphed over it.” [xi] Puno, op. cit. “Dr. Jose Rizal joined Freemasonry by affiliating with Acasia Lodge No. 9 of the Gran Orientede España.[Cable Tow, Vol. 73, No. 2, July-Aug 1996, Rey Fajardo,] His affiliation with Freemasons was not without significance. As accurately observed by Coates, "...in the light of the bitter opposition of the Span. Church to Freemasonry, this move on his part can’t but suggest the adop-tion of more extreme position in respect of the church; and remembering that the political problem of the Phils. was predominantly an ecclesiastical one, the move may in part reflect his diminished faith in the policy of assimilation." [Coates, Rizal, Filipino Nationalists and Patriot, 1992 ed., Coates, p. 175] Rizal's alliance with freemasons and freemasonry which was then growing by leaps and bounds in the Phils. influenced his future course of action. (Cable Tow, V. 73, No. 2,July-Aug. 1996 issue featuring Masonry and the Phil. Revolution by R. Fajardo, p.13.)”

[xii] Op. cit., Craig, 137. “Then, Governor-General Terrero (personally) summoned Rizal by telegraph to Malacañan from Kalamba. The interview proved to be due to the interest in the author of “Noli Me Tangere” and a curiosity to read the novel, arising from the copious extracts with which the Manila censors had submitted an unfavorable opinion when asking for the prohibition of the book. The recommendation of the censor was disregarded, and General Terrero, fearful that Rizal might be molested by some of the many persons who would feel themselves aggrieved by his plain picturing of undesirable classes in the Phils., gave him for a bodyguard a young Spanish lieutenant, José Taviel de Andrade (who would later become Military Advocate of Dr. Rizal in his rebellion trial).”

from applicants for land registration and title. Please see the Maura law [infra].

[xviii] Ibid. The Maura law required the encomienda land secured through adjustment of title to be registeredd in the Spanish Mortgage law which may then form part of the Informacion possessoria called for in the law.

[xix] The news was received with mixed emotions. The natives themselves were mostly oblivious of whatever the new law may bring. But the church people and the friars were visibly furious of the intent of the law.

[xx] This is the result of the prohibition in the Maura law against juridical persons and corporations (even the church) from securing grant from the new law. The privilege of owning a latifundio with the right of adjustment for a second grant of land, even of an encomienda, is virtually reserved to trusted Spanish subjects (some say controlled by the Masonic group to assure enlightenment reign or loyalty to newly reformed Spain), which had been hoped to constitute the new enlightened principalia in the colonies.

1. THAT, by virtue of the Partial Decision dated October 12, 1970 by Judge Emmanuel N. Munoz, in L.R. Cases 1880 and 1881, Branch 10 of former Bulacan CFI, the “landed estate of Don Mariano E. San Pedro” under its Titulo composicion con en el estado and Titulo Informacion Possessoria has all been adjudicated in favor of the “heirs of Don Mariano E. San Pedro”, while the jurisdictional Spec. Proc. Case 312-B (entitled In the Matter of the Intestate Estate of Don Mariano E. San Pedro), Branch 15, RTC, Malolos, Bulacan, had finally determined and confirmed Don Alejandro P. San Pedro, Sr. as the next of kin and true legal “heir of Don Mariano E. San Pedro”, i.e. by Judge Carlos P. Ofilada of said Court thru his Orders dated Jan. 31, 1996 and June 13, 1997, ipso facto, under the imprimatur and mandate of the Hon. Supreme Court thru their en banc Resolution dated January 26, 1989;

2. THAT, a) the herein lands and properties (enumerated below) have been sequestered from the estate of Don Ignacio Conrado, b) that such resulted from the operation of Titulo Informacion Possessoria of December 3, 1894; c) that the lands thereof have been possessed and occupied by Don Ignacio Conrado and by his heirs in the concept of owner, in a manner that is continuous, public, open, notorious, against the whole world, for more than 30 years; d) but the heirs of Don Conrado are fully aware and certify that said properties originate from the Estate of Don Mariano San Pedro by reason of 1894 “Contrato hypoteca” or Titulo Informacion Possessoria; e) and the Courts have ruled that Don Ignacio Conrado cannot own the property (Titulo Informacion Possessoria) mortgaged by Don Mariano because the “Contrato hypoteca” is an antichresis contract and that redemption had already

been effected;* f) and that Don Conrado and later his heirs only act as mere trustees of Titulo Informacion Possessoria;

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto signed my hand in the City of Manila this ___th day of January, 2014, in the presence of two (2) witnesses.

SGD. ARTURO SP. D. SAN PEDRO, Affiant Chairman/President, Don Mariano E. San Pedro Foundation, Inc. Attorney-in-fact, with GPA of Heirs of Don Mariano E. San Pedro Executor/Rep.of Last Will&Testament of Don Alejandro SanPedro Administrator of Joint Estates of Don M.E. & Don A.P. San Pedro

SIGNED IN THE PRESENCE OF:

__ SGD. _____________________________(Witness)

__ SGD._____________________________(Witness)

___________ *i.e., referring, inter alia, to Director of Forestry vs. Munoz, 23 SCRA 1968, and the Oct. 11, 1977 fact-finding ruling/Order in jurisdictional Spec. Proc. Case 312-B, Br. IV, Fifth Judicial District, CFI, Baliuag, Bul., viz: “Assuming that the estate of Mariano San Pedro failed to redeem the mortgage in favor of Ignacio 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 Mariano San Pedro 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 Ignacio Conrado to institute the mortgage action; Conrado’s 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 mortgagor’s 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

Page 54: The historical truth & the legal facts of the san pedro estate

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 Mariano San Pedro y Esteban; considering this uncontradicted evidence and in the light of the character of the “Contrato”, it would seem quite clear that the contract between Mariano San Pedro y Esteban and Ignacio 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 Mariano San Pedro y Esteban (Art. 2132 to Art. 2139, NCC); hence, it would seem from the 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, hearing of Feb. 4, 1977) to the effect that Ignacio Conrado had already accepted more than P100,000.00 for the redemption of the property which was mortgaged to him by Don Mariano San Pedro y Esteban; this amount was paid by persons who claim to be the heirs of said descendant.”___________________

**Final justice is poetic justice. And lastly, since the syndicates and the unscrupulous malefactors of the San Pedro estate have greatly abused and exploited the name of our beloved Don Mariano E. San Pedro, i.e. 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 Ignacio Conrado: 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 no matter how far they have gone to abuse and exploit the name of Don Mariano San Pedro, there will we come over to prosecute the interest of the San Pedro estate—which is now owned, administered and held in trust by the Don Mariano San Pedro Foundation, Inc. —- Sharing a legacy dedicated to Phils. progress and world understanding; and much more by the peaceful revolutionary tradition (but don’t you misinterpret) of LA LIGA FILIPINA, Rizalista Vanguardia del Patria Adorada!

(SUCH IS THE NATURE OF THE “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 Black’s Law Dictionary.)
