BERSAMIN, J.
The effect on third parties of the constructive notice by virtue of the registration of the deed or instrument was aptly illustrated in Bautista v. Fule,[37] where the Court pronounced that the subsequent buyer of unregistered land sold at an execution sale, which the purchaser at the public auction registered under Act No. 3344 seven days after that sale, was "deemed to have constructive notice" of the sale, and, therefore, could not be "entitled to the rights of a purchaser in good faith." The Court emphasized that as to lands not registered under either the Spanish Mortgage Law or the Land Registration Act, the registration under Act No. 3344 should produce its effects against third persons if the law was "to have utility at all."[38]
