QUISUMBING, J. |

| Material facts or questions which were in issue in a former action and were there admitted or judicially determined are conclusively settled by a judgment rendered therein and that such facts or questions become res judicata.[26] Here, the resolution of the second complaint hinges on the validity of the foreclosure sale. Ultimately, the ownership of the contested parcel of land will depend on the propriety of the aforementioned sale. Judgment on this issue of validity has already been rendered and accorded finality as shown by the entry of judgment dated August 16, 1999 in Supreme Court case G.R. No. 109472.[27] | |||||
