| In their Answer to the Petition for Annulment of Judgment,[13] the Recios argued that the RTC of Roxas City, Branch 18 has jurisdiction over the case. They contended that petitioner hastily and negligently filed the petition without first examining the records of LRC No. N-785 and despite its knowledge of their duly approved Plan LRC-SWO-14402 for Lot No. 900 of the Pilar Cadastre. They pointed out that said approved plan clearly showed that Lot No. 900 was not within LC Project No. 20-A, but LC Project No. 20 which was duly certified as alienable and disposable on September 28, 1960 as per BFD Map LC-2401. They also argued that the Decision dated September 14, 1984, has been declared final and executory, and OCT No. 0-2107 has been issued on April 17, 1985, in their names. Hence, LRC No. N-785 is already a closed case and res judicata has set in.[14] | |||||
