WALTER VILLANUEVA v. FLORENTINO CHIONG
QUISUMBING, J.
On the matter of fruits and interests, we take into consideration that petitioners have been using the land and have derived benefit from it just as respondent Florentino has used the price of the land in the sum of P8,000.  Hence, if, as ordered by the lower court, Florentino is to pay a reasonable amount or legal interest for the use of the money then petitioners should also be required to pay a reasonable amount for the use of the land.[30] Under the particular circumstances of this case, however, it would be equitable to consider the two amounts as offsetting each other.  Hence, the award of the trial court for the payment of interest should be deleted.
