	GR No. 173186 2015-09-16	ANICETO UY v. CA JARDELEZA, J.
We agree with the Court of Appeals that the action of Navai-Sai ts one for reconveyance. Although the designation of the complaint is annulment of deed, and does not include reconveyance, the facts alleged and reliefs sought show that reconveyance is the end goal. What determines the nature of the action are the allegations in the complaint The cause of action in a complaint is not determined by the designation given by the complaint, but by what the allegations in the body of the complaint define or describe,[38] as well as the character of the relief sought.[39]
	GR No. 179799 2009-09-11	ZENAIDA R. GREGORIO v. CA NACHURA, J.
Basic is the legal principle that the nature of an action is determined by the material averments in the complaint and the character of the relief sought.[24] Undeniably, Gregorio's civil complaint, read in its entirety, is a complaint based on quasi-delict under Article 2176, in relation to Article 26 of the Civil Code, rather than on malicious prosecution.
	GR No. 167181 2008-12-23	SPS. CARLOS MUNSALUD AND WINNIE MUNSALUD v. NATIONAL HOUSING AUTHORITY REYES, R.T., J.
The cause of action in a complaint is not determined by the designation given to it by the parties. The allegations in the body of the complaint define or describe it. The designation or caption is not controlling more than the allegations in the complaint. It is not even an indispensable part of the complaint.[31]
