CARPIO, J.
Petitioner filed a complaint for rescission/declaration of nullity of contract, reconveyance and damages against respondents. An action for reconveyance is one that seeks to transfer property, wrongfully registered by another, to its rightful and legal owner.[22]  In an action for reconveyance, the certificate of title is respected as incontrovertible.  What is sought instead is the transfer of the property, specifically the title thereof, which has been wrongfully or erroneously registered in another person's name, to its rightful and legal owner, or to one with a better right.[23]

In an action for reconveyance, all that must be alleged in the complaint are two facts which, admitting them to be true, would entitle the plaintiff to recover title to the disputed land, namely, (1) that the plaintiff was the owner of the land or possessed the land in the concept of owner,[48] and (2) that the defendant had illegally dispossessed him of the land.[49]
