| We agree with petitioner that the dismissal is erroneous. The damages case cannot possibly deal with the issue of the cancellation of the titles since such a remedy can only be pursued in a separate and direct action for said purpose. It is settled doctrine that certificates of titles under the Torrens system of registration cannot be collaterally attacked.[2] Hence, there was need for petitioner to file the second case if it were to seek cancellation of respondents' titles, and the issue therein is not, and cannot be, raised in the first case. | |||||
