| On both Salas and Rubina's contention that Rubina owns the Discovered Properties, we likewise find the contention unmeritorious. The TCTs state that "Juan S. Salas, married to Rubina C. Salas" is the registered owner of the Discovered Properties. A Torrens title is generally a conclusive evidence of the ownership of the land referred to, because there is a strong presumption that it is valid and regularly issued.[25] The phrase "married to" is merely descriptive of the civil status of the registered owner.[26] Furthermore, Salas did not initially dispute the ownership of the Discovered Properties in his opposition to the manifestation. It was only when Rubina intervened that Salas supported Rubina's statement that she owns the Discovered Properties. | |||||
