| The provision contemplates a person building, or sowing, or planting in good faith on land owned by another. The law presupposes that the land and the building or plants are owned by different persons, like here. The RTC and CA found and declared Angeles to be a builder in good faith. We cannot veer away from their unanimous conclusion, which can easily be drawn from the fact that Angeles insists until now that he built his house entirely on his own lot. Good faith consists in the belief of the builder that the land he is building on is his and in his ignorance of a defect or flaw in his title.[15] | |||||

| In her Report and Recommendation dated May 26, 2003, Commissioner Milagros V. San Juan found that the certifications submitted by the complainant to prove that the respondent was still her counsel on record as of June 1999 in Criminal Case No. 44181,[17] Criminal Case No. 79688[18] and Civil Case No. 42707[19] belied the respondent's assertion that his attorney-client relationship with the complainant had long been terminated. According to the Commissioner, at the time the respondent accepted his engagement as Francisco Atas' counsel and filed a case against the complainant, he was still acting as counsel for the latter in a number of cases. It was recommended that the respondent be suspended from the practice of law for a period of three (3) years with a warning that a similar offense in the future will be dealt with more severely.[20] | |||||
