On August 8, 1936, the Director of Lands  filed a petition for compulsory registration of a tract of land  containing 4,149 hectares, divided into 958 lots,  situated in the Municipality of Lubao, Pampanga, and designated as Lubao Cad. No. 273 B.L. Case No. 8.

Tuazon & Legarda  Ltd. filed  its  answer to  the petition laying claim  to  Lots Nos.  1789,  1791,  1933, 2376, 6357, 7004, 7006, 7007  and 1057 of the  cadastral plan. On their part,  Nicolas Bansil, et al., thru Atty. Gerardo S. Limlingan, filed their answer  laying claim on Lot  No. 1057.  Answers were also filed  in behalf of  the Municipality  of  Lubao, Pampanga, with  respect to   Lots  Nos. 1789, 1791, 1002, 7006, 7007 and 1933.  In behalf of the Insular Government, the provincial fiscal also filed an answer laying claim to Lots Nos. 6357,  7004, 7006 and 7007.

The Director of Lands, the Municipality of Lubao and the Insular Government filed oppositions to the  claim for registration filed by the Tuason  & Legarda Ltd.

On July  8,  1958,  the  lower  court  rendered  decision holding that the Becuran, Malagulu, Bubula  and Mapaniki creeks could  not be considered  as properties of the Municipality of Lubao,  nor of the  Insular Government, because they belong to Tuason & Company, Ltd.  Hence, it confirmed the title of  this entry to Lots   Nos. 1791, 1002, 6357, 1789,  7004,  2376, 7006, 7511,  1933,  7007 and 1057 of the Lubao  cadastre  and ordered that  said  lots be registered in the name of said corporation.   From this decision, the Municipality of  Lubao  and  the   Insular Government,  as well as  Nicolas Bansil, et al., interposed the present appeal directly  to this Court claiming  the  commission of errors in  the adjudication of Lots Nos. 1791, 1002, 1789, 2376, 1933, 6357, 7004,  7006, 7007  and  1057 to the corporation Tuason & Legarda Ltd.

Considering, however, that the appeal of herein appellants raises factual issues  and the  value  of the  lots covered  by their  respective  appeals  does  not reach  the amount  of P200,000.00, the Court resolved  to  certify this case to  the Court of  Appeals  for adjudication.
