This case has been cited 4 times or more.

	GR No. 164961 2014-06-30	HECTOR L. UY v. VIRGINIA G. FULE BERSAMIN, J.
In Bautista v. Silva,[44] the Court enunciates the requisites for the buyer to be considered a purchaser in good faith, viz:A buyer for value in good faith is one who buys property of another, without notice that some other person has a right to, or interest in, such property and pays full and fair price for the same, at the time of such purchase, or before he has notice of the claim or interest of some other persons in the property. He buys the property with the well-founded belief that the person from whom he receives the thing had title to the property and capacity to convey it.
	GR No. 171464 2013-11-27	SPS. ELISEO R. BAUTISTA AND EMPERATRIZ C. BAUTISTA v. SPS. MILA JALANDONI AND ANTONIO JALANDONI AND MANILA CREDIT CORPORATION MENDOZA, J.
"A buyer in good faith is one who buys the property of another without notice that some other person has a right to or interest in such property. He is a buyer for value if he pays a full and fair price at the time of the purchase or before he has notice of the claim or interest of some other person in the property."[29] "Good faith connotes an honest intention to abstain from taking unconscientious advantage of another."[30] To prove good faith, the following conditions must be present: (a) the seller is the registered owner of the land; (b) the owner is in possession thereof; and (3) at the time of the sale, the buyer was not aware of any claim or interest of some other person in the property, or of any defect or restriction in the title of the seller or in his capacity to convey title to the property. All these conditions must be present, otherwise, the buyer is under obligation to exercise extra ordinary diligence by scrutinizing the certificates of title and examining all factual circumstances to enable him to ascertain the seller's title and capacity to transfer any interest in the property.[31]
	GR No. 165803 2010-09-01	SPS. REX v. DIONISIO Z. PARULAN BERSAMIN, J.
A purchaser in good faith is one who buys the property of another, without notice that some other person has a right to, or interest in, such property, and pays the full and fair price for it at the time of such purchase or before he has notice of the claim or interest of some other persons in the property. He buys the property with the belief that the person from whom he receives the thing was the owner and could convey title to the property. He cannot close his eyes to facts that should put a reasonable man on his guard and still claim he acted in good faith.[33] The status of a buyer in good faith is never presumed but must be proven by the person invoking it.[34]
	GR No. 158144 2008-07-31	ST. MARY'S FARM v. PRIMA REAL PROPERTIES NACHURA, J.
On the basis of this notarized board resolution, respondent had every reason to rely on Rodolfo Agana's authority to sell the subject property. Undeniably then, the respondent is an innocent purchaser for value in good faith. Our pronouncement in Bautista v. Silva[13] is instructive:A buyer for value in good faith is one who buys property of another, without notice that some other person has a right to, or interest in such property and pays full and fair price for the same, at the time of such purchase, or before he has notice of the claim or interest of some other persons in the property. He buys the property with the well-founded belief that the person from whom he receives the thing had title to the property and capacity to convey it.
