DISPOSITIVE:

WHEREFORE, premises considered, the March 7, 2016 Decision and September 30, 2016 Resolution of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No. 137591 are REVERSED and SET ASIDE. The case is REMANDED to the Regional Trial Court for a full resolution of the issues.

SO ORDERED.”

SUBJECTS/DOCTRINES/DIGEST:

“In fine, the agrarian laws that grant the DARAB exclusive jurisdiction to
rule on agrarian disputes, as well as those which provide the landless farmers
security of tenure and protect them against eviction from the landholdings, are
without a doubt, laudable. However, these rights, sacred as they are, may not be
enforced against strangers or those who have not consented to the relationship,
personally or through their predecessors. In the case at bar, justice would best be
served by allowing the parties to thresh out their allegations and defenses in a
full blown hearing before the RTC, which has jurisdiction over the action to quiet
title. Certainly, a complete· resolution of the case will benefit both parties as it
will finally settle their respective rights over the subject property.”
