| The records show that petitioner and his brothers bought the subject lot from spouses Tony Bautista and Alicia Villamil on August 24, 1998,[14] who in turn purchased the same from spouses Teofilo Abellera and Abella Sarmen on January 16, 1997.[15] The latter bought the subject lot from Cynthia, Agustin Jr., Jasmin, Omir and Lauro, all surnamed Cacho, on July 10, 1979.[16] The earliest tax declaration which was submitted in evidence was Tax Declaration No. 25606[17] issued in 1971 in the names of spouses Agustin Cacho and Eufrosinia Baustista. While tax declarations are not conclusive proof of ownership, they constitute good indicia of possession in the concept of owner and a claim of title over the subject property.[18] Even if we were to tack petitioner's claim of ownership over the subject lot to that of their alleged predecessors-in-interest, spouses Agustin Cacho and Eufrosinia Baustista in 1971, still this would fall short of the required possession from June 12, 1945 or earlier. | |||||
