In certain instances, however, this Court has relaxed the procedural rule and allowed the trial court to consider evidence not formally offered on the condition that the following requisites are present: (1) the evidence must have been duly identified by testimony duly recorded; and (2) the same must have been incorporated in the records of the case.[22]

The cases of People v. Napat-a,[21] People v. Mate,[22] and The Heirs of Romana Saves, et al. v. The Heirs of Escolastico Saves, et al.,[23] to cite a few, enumerated the requirements so that evidence, not previously offered, can be admitted, namely: first, the evidence must have been duly identified by testimony duly recorded and, second, the evidence must have been incorporated in the records of the case.

However, there are instances when the Court relaxed the foregoing rule and allowed evidence not formally offered to be admitted.  Citing People v. Napat-a[31] and People. v. Mate,[32] the Court in Heirs of Romana Saves, et al., v. Heirs of Escolastico Saves, et al.,[33] enumerated the requirements for the evidence to be considered despite failure to formally offer it, namely: "first, the same must have been duly identified by testimony duly recorded and, second, the same must have been incorporated in the records of the case."[34]  In People v. Vivencio De Roxas et al.,[35] the Court also  considered exhibits which were not formally offered by the prosecution but were repeatedly referred to in the course of the trial by the counsel of the accused.[36]

"A purchaser in good faith is one who buys property without notice that some other person has a right to or interest in such property and pays its fair price before he has notice of the adverse claims and interest of another person in the same property."[26] However, where the land sold is in the possession of a person other than the vendor, the purchaser must be wary and must investigate the rights of the actual possessor; without such inquiry, the buyer cannot be said to be in good faith and cannot have any right over the property.[27]
