by law. During his incarceration, his house where the subject parcel of
land was abandoned by his family by reason of death threats. The owner’s
duplicate copy of title of the subject parcel of land together with other
personal belongings were inside the abandoned house;
5. Upon his release from incarceration, he returned to his house. He

searched for the owner’s duplicate copy of title of the subject parcel of
land so that he may mortgage it to obtain money to start a new life.
However, despite his diligent search and effort to locate his Owner’s
Duplicate Copy of Title, he could not find it such that he genuinely
believes that it is now lost beyond recovery;
6. Prior to the filing of this Petition, Petitioner has already caused the
annotation of Notice of Loss at the back of the Registry of Deeds’ original
copy of TCT No. 196641 as Entry No. 2790-196641. The said annotation
is sub-annexed as Annex “A-1”, while a certified true copy of the Notice

Deeds for the City of Manila attesting that the latter’s original copy of his
title is existing and intact. Copy of the certificate is attached as Annex
“C”;
Cause of Action
8. Petitioner anchors his cause of action in Section 109 of P.D. No 1529,

otherwise known as the Property Registration Decree, to wit:
“Section 109. Notice and replacement of lost duplicate

certificate. In case of loss or theft of an owner's duplicate
certificate of title, due notice under oath shall be sent by the
owner or by someone in his behalf to the Register of Deeds
of the province or city where the land lies as soon as the loss
or theft is discovered. If a duplicate certificate is lost or
destroyed, or cannot be produced by a person applying for
the entry of a new certificate to him or for the registration
of any instrument, a sworn statement of the fact of such loss
or destruction may be filed by the registered owner or other
person in interest and registered.
Page 2 of 4
Upon the petition of the registered owner or other
person in interest, the court may, after notice and due
hearing, direct the issuance of a new duplicate certificate,
which shall contain a memorandum of the fact that it is
issued in place of the lost duplicate certificate, but shall in all
respects be entitled to like faith and credit as the original
duplicate, and shall thereafter be regarded as such for all
purposes of this decree.”
9. Petitioner is the registered owner of the parcel of land covered by TCT

No. 196641 as shown by records of the Registry of Deeds, Manila (Annex
“A”). The existence and intactness of his certificate of title over his
property has been attested by the said office (Annex “C”);
10. In compliance to paragraph 1 of Section 109, P.D. No 1529, Petitioner

has already given due notice to the Registry of Deeds, Manila that his
Owner’s Duplicate Copy of Title is lost (Annex “B”). Notice of Loss has
been annotated at the back of the title (Annex “A-1”);
11. Under the Mirror Principle of the Torrens System, the certificate of title
is a mirror which reflects accurately and completely the current facts that
are material to the title;
12. In view of the foregoing facts and under the Mirror Principle, Petitioner
has a cause of action to file the instant Petition.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, above premise considered, it is most respectfully prayed to

the Honorable Court that a judgment be rendered in favor of the Petitioner
ordering Respondent Register of Deeds for the City of Manila to issue a New
Owner’s Duplicate Copy of Title in the name of Petitioner in lieu of the lost one.
Other reliefs just and equitable under the circumstances are likewise prayed
for.
Respectfully submitted on 15 May 2017, Makati City for the City of Manila.
