| Second, ejectment suits are actions in personam wherein judgment only binds parties who had been properly impleaded and were given an opportunity to be heard.[14] The MCTC judgment was only rendered against Fr. Gudmalin and the Vicar Apostolic of Mountain Province, not against the petitioner Vicariate of Tabuk. Hence, the petitioner can only be bound by the MCTC judgment if it is shown to be: (a) a trespasser, squatter, or agent of the defendants fraudulently occupying the property to frustrate the judgment; (b) a guest or other occupant of the premises with the permission of the defendants; (c) a transferee pendente lite; (d) sub-lessee; (e) co-lessee; or (f) a member of the family, a relative, or other privy of the defendants.[15] | |||||
