	GR No. 199448 2014-11-12	ROLANDO S. ABADILLA v. SPS. BONIFACIO P. OBRERO AND BERNABELA N. OBRERO REYES, J.
As between the petitioner's Deed of Absolute Sale and the respondents' TCT No. T-38422, the latter must prevail. A certificate of title is evidence of indefeasible and incontrovertible title to the property in favor of the person whose name appears therein.[23] "[A] title issued under the Torrens system is entitled to all the attributes of property ownership, which necessarily includes possession."[24] Hence, as holders of the Torrens title over the subject land, the respondents are entitled to its possession.
	GR No. 191101 2014-10-01	SPS. MARIO OCAMPO v. HEIRS OF BERNARDINO U. DIONISIO REYES, J.
Between the petitioners' unsubstantiated and self-serving claim that the subject property was inherited by Carmelita from her father and OCT No. M-4559 registered in Dionisio's name, the latter must prevail. The respondents' title over the subject property is evidence of their ownership thereof. That a certificate of title serves as evidence of an indefeasible and incontrovertible title to the property in favor of the person whose name appears therein and that a person who has a Torrens title over a land is entitled to the possession thereof are fundamental principles observed in this jurisdiction.[25]
