	GR No. 166645 2005-11-11	VICENTE D. HERCE v. MUNICIPALITY OF CABUYAO YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
The Land Registration Act (Act No. 496, now P.D. No. 1529) as well as the Cadastral Act protects only the holders of a title in good faith and cannot be used as a shield for frauds[8] or that one should enrich himself at the expense of another. One cannot conceal under the cloak of its provisions to perpetrate fraud and obtain a better title than what he really and lawfully owns. Thus, if he secures a certificate of title by mistake or obtain more land than what he really owns, the certificate of title should be cancelled or corrected.
	GR NO. 149599 2005-05-16	RUDY LAO v. JAIME LAO CALLEJO, SR., J.
While it is true that the contract of lease between Alava and Anita Lao was not filed in the Office of the Register of Deeds and annotated at the dorsal portion of the petitioner's title over the property, nevertheless, the petitioner was bound by the terms and conditions of the said contract of lease. The lease, in effect, became a part of the contract of sale.[14]
