THE TRUTH BEHIND THE TAGEAN-TALLANO-ACOP ESTATE PAST PRESENT & FUTURE

Ancient Land Registration Document OCT No. 01-4Its Derivatives TCTs T-408 & T-498

Undersiege

By JOSEPH CAMPANILLA, Street Parliamentarist

MAHARLIKA ISLANDS OR HACIENDA FILIPINA The case at hand is the cloud of doubt casted against the ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE No. T-01-4 and its derivative TCTs T-408 and 498, after hurdling the protocol and series of requisites in the Philippine Land Registration of 1902, and the Law which mandated land registration per se. Why these document are now placed before and under the scrutiny, of yet, another judicial court, the COURT OF APPEALS is your and my sixty-four dollar question.

This Original Certificate of Title is the very Land Registration Document which confirms the legality of its land ownership of the entire Philippine Archipelago, which means , that the entire Philippine Archipelago, as of today October 24, 2004 is indeed OWNED BY A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL and attested, no less, by the Philippine Government.

“IT IS SO DEFEATING TO LIVE WITHIN THIS ALLEGE DEMOCRATIC NATION WHERE THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION CAPITALIZES SAID GLORIOUS OBJECTIVES BUT ACTUALLY INDIRECTLY DISENFRANCHISING THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF THE TAGEAN-TALLANO CLANS FROM THEIR REAL PROPERTIES BY DISTORTING THE TRUE RECORD OF THE ROYAL CLAN IN THE LAND REGISTATION COMMISSION, DEFEATING THEIR OWNERSHIP OF THE LAND GAINED OUT OF THEIR HARD LABOR, AND MORE THAN FOUR (4) CENTURIES OF ARMS STRUGGLE AGAINST THE SPANISH AUTHORITIES AND ABUSIVE OFFICIALS OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES; ONLY TO FIND OUT THEIR OWNERSHIP RIGHT OVER THE SAID PROPERTY CONSISTING OF 169, 912,500 HECTARES OF PLAINS, MOUNTAINS, FORESTS AND SEAS EVIDENCED BY LAND TITLE OCT NO. T-01-4, ANNEX A TO ANNEX A-1 TO A-19 THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED BY THE ROYAL GOVERNMENT OF ENGLAND, THRU THE OFFICE OF THE ROYAL AUDIENCIA THEN, BY THE BRITISH BRITISH GOVERNOR TO THE PHILIPPINES, DAWSON DRAKE IS UNDERSIEGE.

ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF TITLE (OCT) NO.01-4 IS LAWFUL WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF LAND REGISTRATION ACT 496, AFTER THE SAME SUBJECT LAND, ITS RIGHTFUL OWNERSHIP HAD BEEN SETTLED IN A ‘COURT OF PROPER JURISDICTION’ BY THE LAND REGISTRATION COURT (COURT OF FIRST INSTANCE/NOW REGIONAL TRIAL COURT) WHICH WAS ENDED OCTOBER 03, 1904, UNDER A CASE CLRO 475, CAUSED THE ISSUANCE OF DECREE 297 AND WAS REGISTERED IN FAVOR OF RAJAH LACAN TAGEAN TALLANO, WHO WAS MARRIED TO PRINCESS ROWENA AMINAH KIRAM OF THE SULTANATE OF SULU.

YET THIS TIME, IT WAS FOLLOWED THEREAFTER BY ANOTHER COURT BATTLE WITH THE CADASTRAL COURT, IN FULL ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF CADASTRAL ACT 2259 THAT WAS ENDED ON MARCH 14, 1914. ITS LEGALITY HAD BEEN FURTHER AFFIRMED & PROMULGATED IN THIS CADASTRAL PROCESS, IN FAVOR OF PRINCE JULIAN MACLEOD, AT THIS INSTANCE, AGAINST UNLAWFUL CLAIMANTS, DON HERMOGENES RODRIGUEZ AND HEIR. ITS COURT RULING, IN THIS LAND REGISTRATION CASE NO. 571, IS NULL AND VOID AB INITIO…” Court of First instance, Seventh Judicial District Branch XXVIII, Pasay City The PERSONA of the above mentioned OWNER is not your ordinary day to day individual, but of Royal Blood by affinity and consaguinity. ROYALTY? A king in this archipelago?

YES, Juan Dela Cruz! He is referred to, by virtue of him, PRINCE JULIAN MORDEN TAGEAN TALLANO, being commissioned at age 15 as prince by the Royal Tagean Family, direct descendant of the Mongol warrior and Emperor, Genghis Khan, who almost conquered the whole wide world, and not just the Philippine Archipelago. In this side of the world, the Far East in particular, Genghis Khan’s lineage is with the Tagean Royal Family.

King Marikudo – Khan, of Panay Island, of then, Maharlika Archipelago, was the first recorded Royal Tagean ruler of this lineage at the onset of the 12 th century. He called his royal fiefdom MAHARLIKA, which was renamed later, by the invading Spanish Colonizers, as Hacienda Filipina. His Maharlika embraces the entire Maharlika Archipelago, which stretches as far as the northern part of Borneo, the Marianas Group of Islands, specifically Guam and the entire Hawaii. His kingdom was a mix of all early Filipino native tribes, e.g., Ifugaos of the northern Philippines, Itas in middle Luzon, the Mindanao tribes of the South, the Mangyans of Mindoro Island, the Igorots of Mountain Province, plus the early Malays settlers brought from Borneo, by the 10 sultan datus who fled their origin island country to avoid the despotic rule of the Sultan of Borneo, and chose to inhabit in peace in the kingdom of the Maharlikas.

King Marikudo was a man of rule and discipline, beloved by his dominion. He applied the code of Kalantiaw efficiently & effectively and overseed the flourishing economic trade, both locally and internationally with thriving exchanges with Chinese, Dutch, & other foreigners all over his Maharlika from 12th century A.D. onwards. But he was not alone in serving his kingdom. He ruled it along with Queen Wantiwan Bowan of Hawaii. Their union resulted with one issue, Lacan Luisong Tagean, and lasted from 1200 to 1460. The blossoming and progressive economic gain was King Marikudo’s legacy to reckon with, as well as, issuing eleven royal princes/rajahs, the eldest of whom is the gallant Rajah of Cebu Island of the Maharlika Archipelago, Rajah Lapulapu Tagean, who repulsed the Spanish Occupation at the onset, and killed the lead Portuguese Explorer, Ferdinand Magellan, then serving the Royal Crown of

Spain, King George II, in the historical Battle of Mactan. His royal brothers are as illustrious as he was, namely, Rajah Soliman, the second eldestson of Manila and Gat Mauban or Rajah Matanda, the youngest of the brood. Only these three braves survived the rigors of fighting the entire well armed & trained Spanish Invaders, from the eleven siblings of King Marikudo and Queen Wantiwan Bowan. It is in the lineage of Rajah Soliman where succession to the throne trickled down through time and history. The King Marikudo-Khan lineage from the past to present:

THE CHRONOLOGY OF EVENTS LEADING TO THE CANCELLATION OF ROYAL DECREE NO. T-01-4OF THE ROYAL TAGEAN CLAN

1. 12th to 14th century – King Marikudo Tagean Khan, descendant of Genghis Khan built and ruled the entire Philippine Archipelago stretching to the Marianas and Hawai Islands. He called his royal domain, recognized both locally and internationally through flourishing barter trade, as Maharlika and later named Hacienda Filipina by the conquering Spaniards. His royal domain was a mix of the native Filipino tribals and the Malays led by the 10 Bornean Datus who escaped Borneo from the despotic rule of Bornean Sultan. King Marikudo Tagean Khan married Queen Wantiwan Bowan of Hawaii. Maharlika was at peace with its benevolent king who managed well his fiefdom (Island Provinces) along with his eleven male children using the Code of Kalantiaw, until conquering foreigners wanting a piece and the whole of this flourishing Hacienda grabbed it by force.

2. Year 1521 – The Spanish occupation came but was resisted vigorously by the Royal Tagean Clan and its people. Eight of King Marikudo’s brave children died fighting off the progression of Spanish invasion all throughout the archipelago but was survived by three other children, one of whom, Rajah Lapulapu of Cebu Island, who killed the very leader of this invasion, Ferdinand Magellan in the infamous Battle of Mactan. The two other royal heroes: Rajah Soliman, the second child, defended Manila & suburbs; and the youngest brood was Rajah Gat Mauban or better known as Rajah Matanda, for his grayish hair and looks. Although, the Spaniards triumphed and landgrabbed the lands owned by the Royal Tagean Clan all over the Maharlika Archipelago, and distributed them to favored Spanish conquestadores, and stooges, and the Royal Tagean family baptized as Catholics as a result, the resistance continued all throughout the entire archipelago, through the auspices and financing of King Marikudo Tagean and his Royal Clan. All of the Royal Tageans, eventually, sported the Christian surname ‘Tallan’ after their respective baptism. But an ‘O’ was added on later to avoid Spanish arrest and persecution, thus TALLAN-0 became the clan’s surname resultantly.

3. January 17, 1764. It was on this date that the Original Certificate of Title No. T-01-4, covering the full ownership of the entire Philippine archipelago was issued in the name of LACAN LUISONG TAGEAN IN 1764, under THE LAW OF WEST INDIES, during the British Occupation.

“This is to certify, after the said original certificate of Title No. T-01-4, has been issued in the name of Lacan Luisong Tagean in 1764”, Philippine Land Registration Commissioner, Antonio Noblejas, in his testimony before the Blue Ribbon Committee of Philippine Congress.

4. Year 1864 – On this year, OCT T-01-4, was judicially assailed and recalled from the complaint of Don Hermogenes Rodriguez, a descendant of the ‘favored’ Spanish general (Miguel Lopez de Legazpi-Rodriguez) but was registered anew in the name PRINCE JULIAN MACLEOD, the Tagean descendant and only son of RAJAH SOLIMAN AND PRINCESS TARHATA KAHAR, by virtue of Spanish Royal Order of 1864. This was the first judicial court win of the Royal Tagean-Tallan-o family regarding its archipelagic ownership of the Philippines during Spanish regime then.

The Spanish Judicial Court decreed resultantly:

“there is no other land title that was issued covering the entire archipelago, except that of OCT T-01-4”

5. Maura Law Registration. Same OCT T-01-4 was registered in compliance with this Law created and applied in the Philippines by Spanish Invaders.

6. Treaty of Paris between United States of America and Spain - Cessation of the Philippine Archipelago by Spain to the United States of America, which is not actually owned but forcibly occupied by Spain, after losing its battle (war) with the United States of America; the treaty of cessation of the Philippine archipelago was held in Paris on … and followed by the Paris Treaty’s subsequent ratification by the U.S. Congress on …

7. Lacan Tagean Tallano repurchased the entire Philippine Archipelago from America for 20 million dollars, in one peso gold coins, to recover his ownership of the Philippine Archipelago or Maharlika/Hacienda Filipina.

8. October 3, 1904. The exact date OCT T-01-4, again, was registered the 3rd time since its registration with the Spanish Royal Audiencia of 1764, under the name of PRINCE LACAN ACUNA TAGEAN TALLANO, followed by its re-registration in 1864 under the name of PRINCE JULIAN MACLEOD TALLANO, the descendant and only son of Rajah Soliman Tagean Tallano, with the same Royal Audiencia of Spain, followed this

time with the very Royal Audiencia of the Great Britain in the year… , and lastly in accordance with the newly enacted Land Registration Law of 1902 (RA No. 496), during which American occupation, it was decreed as DECREE 297 under CLRO 475 and registered under RAJA LACAN TAGEAN & his son PRINCE JULIAN MACLEOD TALLANO who’s married PRINCESS AMINAH KIRAM OF THE SULTANATE OF SULU.

THE UNDERSIEGE OF OCT T-01-4

ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF TITLE NO 01-4 and its derivative are legal land registration documents created at the onset of Maura Law of Spain in Philippines via Spanish Royal Audiencia on January 17, 1764, followed by the Royal Crown of England, with no less, Governor Dawson Drake of England, issuing another land registration decree registering the entire Philippine Archipelago.

Lastly, in accordance with the newly enacted Land Registration Law of 1902 (RA No. 496), during which American occupation, DECREE 297 was granted under CLRO 475 on October 3, 1904 and registered under RAJA LACAN TAGEAN & his son PRINCE JULIAN MACLEOD TALLANO who’s married PRINCESS AMINAH KIRAM OF THE SULTANATE OF SUL

Land Registration Act No. 496, Section 38:

“ A Decree of Registration shall remain in full force and effect FOREVER.”

Section 48 affirms that, “Such decree shall not be opened by reason of the absence, infancy, or other disability of any person affected thereby, nor by any proceeding in any courtfor reversing judgment or decrees; subject, however, to the right of any person deprived of land or of any estate or interest therein by decree of registration obtained by fraud to file in the Court of Land Registration a petition for review within one year after the entry of thedecree, provided no innocent purchaser for value has acquired an interest. If there is any such

purchaser, the decree of registration shall not be opened, but shall

remain in full force and effect forever, subject only to the right of appeal hereinafter provided.”

BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE WITH THE ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF TITLE OCT NO. 01-4 & ITS DERIVATIVE TRANSFER CERTIFICATE OF TILEs T-408 & T-498. THESE ARE ANCIENT LAND REGISTRATION DOCUMENTS DULY RECOGNIZED BY THEN, ROYAL GOVERNMENTS OF SPAIN & GREAT BRITAIN, THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE ROYAL DECREES EACH HAVE ISSUED TO THE ‘ROYAL TAGEAN FAMILY’, WHEN BOTH OCCUPIED/INVADED THE PHILIPPINE ARCHIPELAGO IN THE 15TH AND 18th CENTURY, KNOWN THEN WORLDWIDE, AS THE ‘MAHARLIKA’. THE VERY SAME ‘LEGAL LAND REGISTRATION RECOGNITION’ WAS AFFORDED TO REGISTERED OWNER, LACAN TAGEAN-TALLAN-O OF THE ROYAL TAGEAN FAMILY.

Everything was A-OK until most recently, when the Court of Appeals VOIDED AND ANNULED OCT-01-4 in CA-G.R. SP. 70014

THE IRONY AND SHAME IS THAT THE COURT OF APPEALS, THE VERY JUDICIAL COURT, MANDATED BY LAW TO PROTECT THE PROPRIETY OF LAND OWNERSHIP OF EVERY FILIPINO INDIVIDUAL, OF ANY LAND REGISTRATION, INCLUDING DUE PROCESS IN THE PHILIPPINES IS THE VERY CULPRIT & MONSTER IN MAKING A PUBLIC MOCKERY OF THE PHILIPPINE LAW ITSELF.

WHAT IS EVEN MORE SHAMEFUL IS THAT THE PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT, ALTHOUGH KNOWING THE GRAVITY OF ERROR BY THIS JUDICIAL COURT, NEVER REACTED ACCORDINGLY TO REMEDY THIS MONTROUS JUDICIAL MISTAKE AND SCANDAL.

“… decree of registration shall not be opened, but shall remain in full force and effect forever,” REPUBLIC ACT NO. 496

The Honorable CFI Judge, Agana was fully convinced having evaluated already the presented evidence by all ranks, petitioners and defendants, as well as, on the Government side, represented by its legal entities through the Sol-Gen Felix Makasiar that, “fraud and fabrication was made by all camps, except the Royal Tagean family, acting as Intervenors on the case, in order to controvert, malign and destroy the legality of OCT T-01-4 AND ITS DERIVATIVES, TCTs T-408 & 498 the latter possessed for over four centuries.

Let us then go on retrospect to Philippine history, to better understand the case at hand.

OCT 01-4, ITS DERIVATIVE TCTs T-408 &T-498 UNDERSIEGE.

In a democratic institution, the right to property is fundamental, natural, inherent and inalienable right. It is never an ex gratia from the legislature, rather ex debito from the duly constituted fundamemntal law of the state, the Constitution. Indeed, it never owe its orgin to the Constitution, which secure it, for it existed foremost before them.

In LRC/CIVIL CASE 3957, with CFI BR 28 conducting said trial on February 04, 1972, regarding land ownership, in Pasay City, Philippines, THE LAWFUL OWNER of that piece of property being contested (part of OCT-01-4 & its derivative TCTs T-408 & T-498) is neither Wilson Orfinada, the Petitioner nor Macario Rodriguez et. al., but the TALLANO TAGEAN ROYALY of the Philippines. Thus by virtue of the Law and by Right, Don Anacleto Madrigal Acop and Prince Julian M. Tallano intervened since the land property involved was theirs from the beginning. On this judicial proceeding, the following was substantially proven through evidences presented by all parties concerned, the following to wit:

1. OCT 01-4 with Decree 297. CLR Case No. 475 was issued to PRINCE LACAN ACUNA TAGEAN TALLANO on October 3, 1904 and after satisfactorily completing the requisites of said law, neither to Wilson Orfinada nor Macario Rodriguez

2. The violation of DUE PROCESS by the National Government which arrogantly consfiscated private properties, both movable and immovable; depriving the constitutional mandate of Section 1 and Section 2 of Article III

This trial winded up with the CFI Court Br 28 ruling in favor of the Don Anacleto Madrigal Acop and Prince Julian Tagean, instead of the actual Petitioner and the Respondent and attached a Compromise Agreement, initiated no less, by the Government through Solitor General Felix Makasiar, to hide and sugar coat the direct participation of Philippine Government, Agencies & cohorts in depriving the Royal Tagean-Tallanos protection as mandated by the RA 496 and their Constitutional rights to Due Process.

The following judicial process took place and trickled down, as a result of the Royal Tagean land ownership case victory under LRC/CIVIL CASE 3957-P, to wit:

1. Clarificatory Order dated March 21, 1974 consisting of 30 pages

2. Decision dated November 04, 1975 consisting of 44 pages

3. Clarificatory Decision dated January 19, 1976 consisting of 60 pages

4. Judicial ‘Entry of Judgment’ dated June 14, 1972

5. Judicial ‘Writ of Execution, Demolition and Possession’ dated September 10, 1974 consisting of 14 pages Certificate of Sheriff’s Return dated November 17, 1974

6. Letters of Admin. dated July 07, 1976

9. Order of Third Alias Writ Execution, Possession, and Demilition dated May 28, 1989 consisting of 55 pages

Take note that the judicial process aforementioned, simply indicated the alarming delay of justice by the Government and its Agencies in implementing the execution of recovery of real property and assets illegally extracted from the Royal Tagean family over the years UNTIL NOW.

The battle to regain the real estate properties (in the entire Philippine Archipelago) and assets taken illegally from the Royal Clan dated way back in 1764, after Hacienda Filipina, now Philippine Archipelago, commenced when it was treacherously occupied by the cross-wilding Spanish Imperial Army in guise of propagating the Chritian Faith.

“History repeats itself “

This is exactly the dilemma of the Royal Tagean-Tallano Clan: History is indeed REPEATING ITSELF. The same event or occurrence is confronting them, again

and again, like what transpired 400 years ago in regards to a land case petition initiated by then Don Hermogenes Rodrigues, an alleged descendant of the illustrious Spanish Governor of the Imperial, Miguel Lopez de Legazpi-Rodriguez, before the Royal Audiencia. NOW IT’S THE SAME RODRIGUEZ, another generation from the very same DESCENDANCY, claiming OWNERSHIP of the same TAGEAN LAND WHICH IS NOT THEIRS, AB INITIO. Still, the same ownership petition was Court Ruled in favor of PRINCE LACAN TAGEAN.

Certified True Photocopies of Legality & Land Registration of ORIGINAL CERTICATE TITLET-01-4

IN RETROSPECT, before the entry of the despotic Spanish invaders into Philippine Archipelago, the whole of MAHARLIKA was ruled by the Royal Tagean Clan. Its EXCLUSIVE OWNERSHIP of the Philippine Archipelago was correspondingly stamped with full Spanish Royalty recognition via a Royal Decree Case 571 of January 17, 1764, A.D., and signed at 10:45 in the morning, no less, for King George II of Spain, by then Proprietary Governor of the Escribania De Cabildo, JOSE RAON

ANTONIO M. NOBLEJAS (LRC COMMISIONER)CERTIFICATION DATED JANUARY 3, 1964 BEFORETHE SENATE BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE (excerpts re-created & with actual certified Photopy below):

“This is to certify after the said original certificate of Title No. T-01-4 was been issued in the name of Lacan Luisong Tagean in 1764, under the Law of West Indies, during the British Occupation, said land title had been recalled by the complaint of Don Hermogenes Rodriguez but it was registered anew in the name of Prince Julian Macleod Tallano, the Tagean , descendant and only son of Rajah Soliman and Princess Tarhata Kahar, by virtue of Spanish Royal Order of 1864, Royal Order 01-4 Protocol on the year 1864. After which, there is no other land title that was issued covering the whole archipelago, except that OCT No. T-01-4 which was registered anew under the Maura Law and the Land Registration Act of 496 and the same was done from the Cadastral Act proceedings required under the Rep. Act 2259, that the the greater Manila Area, including Cavite Province, San Pedro Laguna, Sta. Rosa and Binan Laguna up to San Jose, Talisay have no other land Title, except that of its expediency under TCT No, T-408 while that Quezon City, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Meycauayan, San Jose Del Monte, Sta Maria, Norzagaray, Anggat, Marilao, and Guiguinto of the Province of Bulacan, including that Marikina, San Mateo, Montalban, Tanay, Taytay, Anggono, Baras, Cainta, Antipolo, Jalajala, Pililia, Teresa, and Cardona and Morong, the same have no other Land Title except that TCT No. 498 which are both derivative of its OCT No. T-01-4, which are the subject matter under LRC/Civil Case No. 3957-P of the CFI, Branch 28, in Pasay City.

Furthermore, ANY LAND TITLE that was issued in the same area and other provinces

are confirmed fraudulent including that Transfer Certificate of Titles

which were NOT DERIVATIVE from said OCT No. T-01-4 which is a PERFECT & GOOD TITLE and duly registered under Sec.124 of Land Registration Act No. 496, a Torrens System in character, with approved survey plan of PSU 2031 and re-

evaluated under Cad. Decree No. 297.

This CERTIFICATION has been issued upon written request of Hon. Solicitor General, Felix Makasiar to controvert the defendants Esteban Benitez Tallano and Gregorio Madrigal Acop’s against the government that it conspired from the falsification of said OCT No. T-01-4 and TCT No. 408 and TCT No. 498, which said charges are baseless considering that this

Commission and the Registry of Deeds in other Provinces had never issued other title.”

Court of Appeals Decisions TO VOID & NULLIFY LRC CASE 3957-P were based on the following RAISED ISSUES:

1. Whether or not the respondent Court acquired jurisdiction over the Del Rio Petition and/or the Tallano Acop Petition, this Court ruled: “WE RULE IN THE NEGATIVE.”

2. Whether or not the decisions/ orders/ writs/ other documents issued in connection with LRC/ CIVIL CASE NO. 3957-P are valid and enforceable, this Court ruled: “WE RULE IN THE NEGATIVE.”

3. Whether or not petitioner Republic is stopped and/ barred by laches from filing the instant pettion, this Court: “WE RULE IN THE NEGATIVE.”

4. Whether or not a petition for annulment of

judgment under rule 47 of the Rules of Court is the proper remedy, this Court ruled: “WE RULE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE.”

Finally, the Court of Appeal’s DECISION, as follows on CA-G.R. SP. 70014:

1. The reconstitution proceedings in LRC/ CIVIL CASE 3957-P in respondent Court are DECLARED VOID for lack of jurisdiction.

2. The following decisions/ orders/ writ/ and other documents are ANNULLED AND DECLARED VOID and of no force and effect:A. Decision With Compromise Agreement dated February 4, 1972 consisiting of 133

With the above judicial declaration to nullify a fellow judicial court’s decision, the first reaction would be:

1. OF WHAT THE JUDICIAL COURT(S) INVOLVED, REGARDING LRC CASE 3957-P, DOES COURT OF APPEALS HAVE THE JURISDICTION WHERE LAND REGISTRATION MATTER IS THE ISSUE?

2. BY WHAT JUDICIAL RULE OR REQUISITE CAN A COURT OVERRIDE A FINAL AND EXECUTORY DECISION FROM ANY COURT?

3. BY WHAT RIGHT DOES GOVERNMENT HAVE TO TRAMPLE UPON / VIOLATE DUE PROCESS OF LAW AND THE CONSTITUTED BILL OF RIGHTS, WHICH PROTECTS THE RIGHT OF EVERY INDIVIDUAL FILIPNO?

1. OF WHAT JUDICIAL COURT(S) INVOLVED, REGARDING LRC CASE 3957-P, DOES THE COURT OF APPEALS HAVE JUDICIAL JURISDICTION WHERE LAND

REGISTRATION MATTER IS THE ISSUE?

Republic Act 496 is an Act to provide for the adjudication and registration of titles in the Philippines. In its Section 2, it reads, “A court is hereby established to be called the ‘Court of Land Registration,’ which shall have the exclusive jurisdiction of all applications for the registration under this Act of title to land or buildings or an interest therein within the Philippine Islands, with power to hear and

determine all questions arising upon such applications, and also have jurisdiction over such other questions as may come before it under this Act, subject, however, to the right of appeal, as hereinafter provided”

Clearly, in matters of trying or litigating any land registration & related applications, or case, in particular, “the ‘Court of Land Registration’ has the EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION.” (Republic Act of the Philippines 496Section 2)

Therefore, the COURT OF APPEALS has no right to re-try any decision emanating from Regional Trial Court, formerly Court of First Instance, the ONLY Court of Land Registration here in the Philippines HAS THE ABSOLUTE and SOLE POWER TO LITIGATE AND RENDER DECISION, ORDER, WRITS & ANY OTHER RELATED DOCUMENT. This means that the action of the Court of Appeals was NULL & VOID ab initio. THIS IS VIOLATION NO.1 FOR THIS COURT.

2. BY WHAT JUDICIAL RULE OR REQUISITE CAN A COURT OVERRIDE A FINAL AND EXECUTORY

DECISION FROM ANY COURT?

In the ab initio, COURT OF APPEALS (CA), by Law, has no distinct right to re-try a Court of Land

Registration’s Decision (CFI BR 28/ RTC BR 111) under Judges Agana and Reyes, et respectively.

CA’s latest decision has NO EFFECT WHATSOEVER on all its decision VERSUS CFI Reconstitution proceedings in LRC/ CIVIL CASE 3957-P, on Decisions/ Orders/ Writ/ and Other Documents, as follows:

A. Decision With Compromise Agreement dated February 4, 197

B. Clarificatory Order dated March 21, 1974C. Decision dated November 4, 1975D. Clarificatory Decision dated January 19, 1975E. Entry of Judgment dated June 14, 1972

Due to the ABOMINABLE ACT of Court of Appeals, PEDRO C. ALMENDRAZ, the new administrator of the Tagean-Tallano Acop Estate, in his reaction letter to the SUPREME COURT, HONORABLE JUSTICE LOURDES SERENO, in the vernacular, in lieu of the shameful acts of those supposed veteran lawyer-justices of Court of Appeals, pointed out a lot of judicial violations perpetrated deliberately by the Court of Appeals in its grand design to void & nullify CFI/ RTC Decisions, Order, Writs, etc., to wit:

A. The first rule violated by the Solicitor General is when he filed his petition beyond the reglamentary period, from after RECEIPT of one year or four years (take your pick, guys) of Notice to a Decision, Order, imposed accordingly against these parties involved in the case, in order to seek and exhaust any/and all remedies, regarding the February 4, 1972 CFI Decision. TOO LATE THE HERO, PANERO! Where it God’s name have you been?

B. Whether or not the Government SolGen was using either the Decision With Compromise Agreement, dated February 4, 1972, or the Clarificatory Decisions, dated on January 19, 1976, or the Order of July 7, 1997, the REGLAMENTARY PERIOD to seek remedy regarding these NOBLE DECISIONS, THE ORDER AND/ OR WRIT have already been EXHAUSTED by thirty (30) years, twenty-three (23) years, and six (6) months, respectively. THIS COURT OF APPEALS’ NULLIFYING ACTION IS FROTH UNTIMELINESS, IRREGULARITIES & DUMBFOUND STUPIDITY.

C. Instead of Sec. 4 Rule 1, the SolGen used Rule 47, in his design to have CFI Decision, Orders, Writ annulled and voided. Rule 47 Section 1-4 is not entirely applicable for annulling a decision, where for several OCCASIONS in the same noble CFI COURT (now RTC), Government was repeatedly denounced by CFI Br 28 for its obvious and flagrant conspiracy to violate the very sacredness of land registration law, RA 496 to whom it is mandated by Law to protect; enforce its decision and not to repeatedly violate it by delaying the enforcement of real property recovery operation for and in favor of the legally proclaimed owner of the entire Philippine archipelago, the Royal Tagean Clan in the person of PRINCE JULIAN MORDEN TAGEAN; and implement the law devoid of personal or vested interest, as REAL JUSTICES OF THE PHILIPPINE JUDICIARY, TO THE LETTER without POLITICAL LEANING, without DISCRIMINATING BIASE! Thus, the Government’s willingness to strike a deal in a Compromise Agreement in LRC CASE 3957

with the Royal Tagean Clan WAS THE INEVITABLE STANCE TO REMEDY PUBLIC OUTCRY FOR JUSTICE AND WASH THEIR HANDS like PONTIUS PILATE OF THE 21ST CENTURY!

Sadly, It was NEVER the GOVERNMENT’S OBVIOUS INTENT TO FULFILL the long delayed-Court Ordered recovery of the Royal Tagean properties, including, OVER HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS IN METRIC TONS of precious metals and stones lent (which I will tackle in PART II) by this noble clan to Central Bank in 1949, in order to lift & push this bank from mediocre to an incredible new bank of the Philippines before the international community. Because of this storage arrangement the Philippine peso worth then against the American dollar was TWO PESOS IS TO ONE U.S. DOLLAR. It was supposed to have been returned in 2005, after serving well the purpose for Central Bank and the Philippine government for fifty long years of discontinued paid service from 1964 to 1972.

By the generosity of a Royal Tagean, in the persona of the late DON BENITO AGUSTIN TALLANO, Central Bank then, in its puberty, became a noble amongst the all banking institutions of the world; a bank to reckon from thereon. Still, the agreed 50 years of keeping it, had already expired. By virtue of the fifty years of contracted free service for and to this bank and for the Filipino people, as witnessed & lawyered no less, by ex despotic-deposed Philippines President, Ferdinand E. Marcos, then a young lawyer for the Royal family, the 617,000 metric tons of gold and hundred thousands of Royal precious gems stashed in the bank’s vault had yet been returned. What is keeping the government from returning them until now?

IF IT WAS NOT THE CASE, WHAT THEN IS KEEPING THE NATIONAL GOVERNMENT from paying its Royal victims for damages resulting from unlawful take-over of Tagean property in the North and South Expressway construction in the 1960s without the latter’s full consent?

In the aforementioned RTC cases, duly represented by Government’s favorite lawyers, namely Felix Makasiar, Hugo Gutierrez, Ramon Barcelona and Dominador Cariaso, these honorable men of SolGen failed to convince the CFI to RTC judges that Government indeed was neither a party to violating the law nor law violator itself. In all these cases the Government was quick to cover-up such shameful deeds by initiating a Compromise Agreement which it never had the intent to complete or heed in the first place. Instead, it was quick to petition the CFI for Relief in order not to literally pay large amount of money to the Royal family for overdue payment, in lieu of the damages done.

In LRC Case 3957-P, the Court found the “Government had recognized the eligible ownership of the landowner, PRINCE LACAN TAGEAN-TALLANO AND EVENTUALLY TO PRINCE JULIAN MACLEOD TALLANO I over the land covered by OCT 01-4, thereby land had been exempted from expediencies and/ or adjustments of its area, considering that said subject land had been filled for so long under the virtue of ROYAL DECREE 01-4 PROTOCAL, as adopted by the Royal Audiencia in the Philippines and had been recognized, as well, by the Philippine Commission then, considering then same subject, had gone further the trial of Republic Act No. 2259, better known, as the Cadastral Act of 1914 that tested the credibility of the land area and its eligible ownership of Land.”

In addition, it is a universal acceptance, the TITLE OF LAND, ONCE REGISTERED under the TORRENS SYSTEM, “IS SUFFICIENT NOTICE TO THE WORLD because such action in rem.”

THE LEGALITY OF THE ‘ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE NO. 01-4’

By scandalously voiding and nullifying the CFI Br 28 Decision, its relative Order and Writ(s),it is imperative to thresh out the flaw with which the Court of First Instance made a MOCKERY OF THE PHILIPPINE LAW, specifically on the Land Registration Law, R.A. 496 as follows:

1. OCT NO. 01-4 is an ancient historical piece of legal land registration document that dates back its legal existence in 1764 as decreed by the very Royal Crowns of Spain followed by Great Britain and then the United States of America.

2. THREE PRESIDENTS OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPINES have acknowledged OCT NO. 01-4’s very legitimate existence in their respective tour of duties, namely, President Sergio Osmena Jr., President Diosdado Macapagal and President Ferdinand E. Marcos, Jr.

3. LRC COMMISIONER ANTONIO M. NOBLEJAS certified, on January 3, 1964, “that OCT NO. T-01-4 (or 01-4) has been issued in the name of (King) Lacan Luisong Tagean in 1764, under the Law of Indies, during the British occupation. His testimony also pointed out that “ANY LAND TITLE THAT WERE ISSUED” in the same area and other provinces are confirmed FRAUDULENT INCLUDING TRANSFER OF CERTIFICATE OF TITLES WHICH WERE NOT DERIVATIVE FROM OCT NO. T-01-4” … and his Commission and the Register of Deeds in other provinces “HAD NEVER ISSUED ANY OTHER LAND TITLE”

4. In this same testimony/certification, LRC Commisioner Noblejas cited the following OWNER CERTIFICATE OF TITLES FOUND NOT DULY REGISTERED IN THE REGISTRY OF LAND TITLES AND DEEDS, TO WIT:

OCT NO.543, OCT NO.994, OCT NO.333, OCT NO.393, OCT NO.374 OCT NO.735, OCT NO.730, OCT NO.498, OCT NO.408, OCT NO.409, OCT NO.407, OCT NO.406,OCT NO.405, OCT NO.404, OCT NO.779, OCT NO.160, OCT NO.161, OCT NO.162To OCT NO.175, OCT NO.601 TO OCT NO.609, OCT NO 4136, OCT NO.369, OCT NO.2573, OCT NO.339, OCT NO.4080 to OCT NO.4090, OCT NO.600 to OCT NO.620,OCT NO.209 to OCT NO.300, OCT NO.995 to OCT NO.1002, OCT NO.334 to OCT NO.400, OCT NO.778, OCT NO.777 upto OCT NO.809, OCT NO.901 to OCT NO.993,OCT NO.621 to OCT NO.700, OCT NO.291, and OCT NO.995 to OCT NO.1001

5. No less than the late, and deposed Philippine, President Ferdinand Marcos acknowldeged the ownership of the Philippine Archipelago by a single individual or family (referring to the heirs of Prince Lacan Acuna Tagean) in Presidential Decree 1143:

“SECTION 9. All legitimate occupants of land in the Philippines who by law are qualified to acquire land should first consent the holder

in whole or in part of TITULO DE PROPIEDAD DE TERRENOS OF 1891, ROYAL DECREE 01-4 PROTOCOL.”

6. ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF TITLE No. T-01-4 UPHELD in Case No. 571 of the Royal Audiencia:

“having been duly and regularly heard in accordance with the Provision of the Land as adopted under Torrens System, it is hereby decreed that PRINCE LACAN

ACUNA TALLANO TAGEAN, married with Princess Rowena Overbeck Macleod of Austria… the owner in simple fee of certain lands, known as HACIENDA

FILIPINA, embracing four (4) major Islands of Luzon, Island of Palawan Peninsula, Islands of Visayas and Islands of Mindanao.”

7. This OCT No. T-01-4 is “existing and found authentic and was registered in accordance with LRC 496 of 1902 which caused the issuance of Decree 297 under

CLRO 475 on October 3, 1904, after two (2) years Court Battle in the Sala of the Court Land Registration in favor of Raja Lacan Tagean (Tallano), and to his son, Prince Julian Macleod Tallano, married to Princess Aminah Kiram of the Sultanate of Sulu.”

8. The extent and credibility of OCT NO 01-4 is, no less, affirmed by British Governor Dawson Drake who originally issued the Royal Decree on January 7, 1764

9. By request of Honorable William, Secretary of President William Taft to the National Library of U.S. in Washington D.C. the microfilm copy of the Royal Decree OCT NO 01-4, was presented during the commencement of Philippine Commission in 1902

10. No less than the late, and deposed Phil. Pres. Ferdinand Marcos acknowledged the owner ship of the Philippine Archipelago by a single individual or family (referring to the heirs of Prince Lacan Acuna Tagean) in Presidential Decree 1143

MARCOS’ PRESIDENTIAL DECREE 1143

Ex-Pres. Marcos claimed that his infrastructure project is “obstructed” by the ownership of property (the Philipine Archipelago) by the Royal family. Directly, the late Dictator recognized

that for anyone to own a property, one is to consult the Royal family for consent.

EX-LRC COMMISSIONER ANTONIO M. NOBLEJAS CERTIFICATION BEFORE SENATE BLUE RIBBON COMMITTEE UNDER SENATE PRESIDENT GIL J. PUYAT:

“This is to certify after the said original certificate of Title No. T-01-4 was been issued in the name of Lacan Luisong Tagean in 1764, under the Law of West Indies, during British Occupation, said land title had been recalled by the complaint of Don Hermogenes Rodriguez but it was registered anew in the name of Prince Julian Macleod Tallano, the Tagean, descendant and only son of Rajah Soliman and Princess Tarhata Kahar, by virtue of Spanish Royal Order of 1864, Royal Order 01-4 Protocol on the year 1864. After which,

there is no other land title that was issued covering the whole archipelago except that OCT No. T-01-4 which was registered anew under the Maura and the Land Registration Act of 496 and the same was done from the Cadastral Act

proceedings required under the Rep. Act 2259, That the the greater Manila Area including Cavite Province, San Pedro Laguna, Sta. Rosa and Binan Laguna up to San Jose , Talisay have no other land Title except that of its expediency under TCT No, T-408 while that Quezon City, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Meycauayan, San Jose Del Monte, Sta Maria, Norzagaray, Anggat, Marilao, and Guiguinto of the Province of Bulacan, including that Marikina, San Mateo, Montalban, Tanay, Taytay, Anggono, Baras, Cainta, Antipolo, Jalajala, Pililia, Teresa, and Cardona and Morong the same have no other Land Title except that TCT No. 498 which are both derivative of its OCT No. T-01-4, which are the subject matter under LRC/Civil Case No.
