| The recent discovery by petitioners of their supposed right to the disputed property notwithstanding, petitioners' alleged ascendants should have instituted an action against the Municipal Government of Paniqui or against Maximo Parazo for the allegedly unlawful taking of the property way back in the 1920s. As asserted by petitioners themselves, the Municipality of Paniqui had openly taken over the property and exercised rights over the same. The period of the omission of petitioners' purported predecessors-in-interest since the taking of the property in 1910 up to the filing of the petition is certainly an unreasonable time. Being the purported successors-in-interest of the former owners of the subject property, petitioners merely stepped into the shoes of their predecessors-in-interest, and are bound by their actions and inactions.[20] | |||||
