ORDINARY CIVIL SPECIAL CIVIL
ACTION ACTION
Ejectment or accion interdictal takes on two forms: forcible entry and unlawful detainer. The remedies for forcible entry and unlawful detainer
are laid down in Section 1, Rule 70 of the Rules of Court, which states:
Section 1. Who may institute proceedings, and when.-Subject to the provisions of the next succeeding section, a person deprived of the
possession of any land or building by force, intimidation, threat, strategy, or stealth, or a lessor, vendor, vendee, or other person against whom the
possession of any land or building is unlawfully withheld after the expiration or termination of the right to hold possession, by virtue of any
contract, express or implied, or the legal representatives or assigns of any such lessor, vendor, vendee, or other person, may, at any time within
one (1) year after such unlawful deprivation or withholding of possession, bring an action in the proper Municipal Trial Court against the person
or persons unlawfully withholding or depriving of possession, or any person or persons claiming under them, for the restitution of such
possession, together with damages and costs.
the distinction between forcible entry and unlawful detainer had been clearly explained:
Forcible entry and unlawful detainer cases are two distinct actions defined in Section 1, Rule 70 of the Rules of Court.
In forcible entry, one is deprived of physical possession of land or building by means of force, intimidation, threat, strategy, or stealth.
In unlawful detainer, one unlawfully withholds possession thereof after the expiration or termination of his right to hold possession under any
contract, express or implied.
In forcible entry, the possession is illegal from the beginning and the basic inquiry centers on who has the prior possession de facto.
In unlawful detainer, the possession was originally lawful but became unlawful by the expiration or termination of the right to possess, hence the
issue of rightful possession is decisive for, in such action, the defendant is in actual possession and the plaintiff's cause of action is the
termination of the defendant's right to continue in possession.
What determines the cause of action is the nature of defendant's entry into the land. If the entry is illegal, then the action which may be filed
against the intruder within one (1) year therefrom is forcible entry. If, on the other hand, the entry is legal but the possession thereafter became
illegal, the case is one of unlawful detainer which must be filed within one (1) year from the date of the last demand.
