SPS. DANILO AND ALBERTA DOMINGO v. GUILLERMO REED

This case has been cited 6 times or more.

	GR No. 165803 2010-09-01	SPS. REX v. DIONISIO Z. PARULAN BERSAMIN, J.
Firstly, the petitioners knew fully well that the law demanded the written consent of Dionisio to the sale, but yet they did not present evidence to show that they had made inquiries into the circumstances behind the execution of the SPA purportedly executed by Dionisio in favor of Ma. Elena. Had they made the appropriate inquiries, and not simply accepted the SPA for what it represented on its face, they would have uncovered soon enough that the respondents had been estranged from each other and were under de facto separation, and that they probably held conflicting interests that would negate the existence of an agency between them. To lift this doubt, they must, of necessity, further inquire into the SPA of Ma. Elena. The omission to inquire indicated their not being buyers in good faith, for, as fittingly observed in Domingo v. Reed:[38]
	GR No. 177187 2009-04-07	SPS. JUANITO R. VILLAMIL v. LAZARO CRUZ VILLAROSA TINGA, J.
An innocent purchaser for value is one who buys the property of another without notice that some other person has a right to or interest in that same property, and who pays a full and fair price at the time of the purchase or before receiving any notice of another person's claim.[27]
	GR No. 143573 2009-01-30	ADORACION ROSALES RUFLOE v. LEONARDA BURGOS LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
An innocent purchaser for value is one who buys the property of another without notice that some other person has a right to or interest in it, and who pays a full and fair price at the time of the purchase or before receiving any notice of another person's claim.[15] The burden of proving the status of a purchaser in good faith and for value lies upon one who asserts that status. This onus probandi cannot be discharged by mere invocation of the ordinary presumption of good faith.[16]
	GR NO. 157434 2006-09-19	SPS. CLARO AND NIDA BAUTISTA v. BERLINDA F. SILVA AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
To establish his status as a buyer for value in good faith, a person dealing with land registered in the name of and occupied by the seller need only show that he relied on the face of the seller's certificate of title.[1] But for a person dealing with land registered in the name of and occupied by the seller whose capacity to sell is restricted, such as by Articles 166[2] and 173[3] of the Civil Code or Article 124[4] of the Family Code, he must show that he inquired into the latter's capacity to sell in order to establish himself as a buyer for value in good faith.[5] The extent of his inquiry depends on the proof of capacity of the seller. If the proof of capacity consists of a special power of attorney duly notarized, mere inspection of the face of such public document already constitutes sufficient inquiry. If no such special power of attorney is provided or there is one but there appear flaws in its notarial acknowledgment mere inspection of the document will not do; the buyer must show that his investigation went beyond the document and into the circumstances of its execution.
	GR NO. 160994 2006-07-27	WILFREDO v. PAULO FLORESCA CALLEJO, SR., J.
A. No, Sir.[30] An innocent purchaser for value is one who buys the property of another without notice that some other person has a right to or interest in that same property, and who pays a full and fair price at the time of the purchase or before receiving any notice of another person's claim. The honesty of intention that constitutes good faith implies freedom from knowledge of circumstances that ought to put a prudent person on inquiry.[31]
