	GR No. 175485 2011-07-27	CASIMIRO DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION v. RENATO L. MATEO BERSAMIN, J.
Yet, registration under the Torrens system, not being a mode of acquiring ownership, does not create or vest title. [14] The Torrens certificate of title is merely an evidence of ownership or title in the particular property described therein. [15] In that sense, the issuance of the certificate of title to a particular person does not preclude the possibility that persons not named in the certificate may be co-owners of the real property therein described with the person named therein, or that the registered owner may be holding the property in trust for another person. [16]
	GR NO. 149231 2006-07-17	ARACLEO ERASUSTA v. AMORIN GARCIA, J.
Of course it is beyond cavil that the fraudulent registration of the property in the forger Valenzuela's name using the forged deed of sale is not sufficient to vest title to the property in him. Settled is the rule that a certificate is not conclusive evidence of title;[12] registration does not vest title, it is merely evidence of such title over a particular property.[13] Certificates of title merely confirm or record title already existing and vested. They cannot be used to protect a usurper from the true owner, nor can they be used as a shield for the commission of fraud, nor to permit one to enrich himself at the expense of others.[14] The Torrens system has never been recognized as a mode of acquiring ownership.[15]
	GR NO. 161861 2005-03-11	SPS. WILLIAM AND JULIE LIM v. CHUATOCO TINGA, J.
The fraudulent registration of the property in Rafael's name using the forged deed of sale is not sufficient to vest title to the entire property in him. Settled is the rule that a certificate is not conclusive evidence of title;[12] registration does not vest title, it is merely evidence of such title over a particular property.[13] Certificates of title merely confirm or record title already existing and vested. They cannot be used to protect a usurper from the true owner, nor can they be used as a shield for the commission of fraud, nor to permit one to enrich himself at the expense of others.[14] The Torrens sytem has never been recognized as a mode of acquiring ownership.[15]
