This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR No. 176492 2014-10-20	MARIETTA N. BARRIDO v. LEONARDO V. NONATO PERALTA, J.
Under this property regime, property acquired by both spouses through their work and industry shall be governed by the rules on equal co-ownership. Any property acquired during the union is prima facie presumed to have been obtained through their joint efforts. A party who did not participate in the acquisition of the property shall be considered as having contributed to the same jointly if said party's efforts consisted in the care and maintenance of the family household.[16] Efforts in the care and maintenance of the family and household are regarded as contributions to the acquisition of common property by one who has no salary or income or work or industry.[17]
	GR NO. 169698 2006-11-29	LUPO ATIENZA v. YOLANDA DE CASTRO GARCIA, J.
It is not disputed that the parties herein were not capacitated to marry each other because petitioner Lupo Atienza was validly married to another woman at the time of his cohabitation with the respondent. Their property regime, therefore, is governed by Article 148[8] of the Family Code, which applies to bigamous marriages, adulterous relationships, relationships in a state of concubinage, relationships where both man and woman are married to other persons, and multiple alliances of the same married man. Under this regime, ...only the properties acquired by both of the parties through their actual joint contribution of money, property, or industry shall be owned by them in common in proportion to their respective contributions ...[9] Proof of actual contribution is required.[10]
	GR No. 154645 2004-07-13	MILAGROS JOAQUINO v. REYES PANGANIBAN, J.
In default of Article 144 of the Civil Code, Article 148 of the Family Code has been applied.[19] The latter Article provides: "Art. 148. In cases of cohabitation not falling under the preceding Article, only the properties acquired by both of the parties through their actual joint contribution of money, property, or industry shall be owned by them in common in proportion to their respective contributions. In the absence of proof to the contrary, their contributions and corresponding shares are presumed to be equal. The same rule and presumption shall apply to joint deposits of money and evidence of credit.
