JOHN CHIU CO,

Defendant. x - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -x POSITION PAPER FOR THE DEFENDANT DEFENDANT, by counsel, unto this Honorable Office, respectfully submits this Position Paper in the above-titled case, and alleges that: THE CASE The is an action for Forcible Entry commenced by the Plaintiff JUAN AYSION SANTOS against the defendant JOHN CHIU CO. The subject matter of this action is a piece of land identified as in #129 Fairville, Barangay Pangsy, City of Quezon, Metro Manila. Copy of TCT- 12345 Lot No. 2-A-1 situated at Barangay Pangsy, City of Quezon under OCT No.123456 issued in the name of the late JUANA DELA CRUZ -SANTOS registered in the Registry of Deeds of Quezon City. FACTS OF THE CASE 1. Plaintiff JUAN AYSION SANTOS, with residence and postal address at #123 Narra St., Fairville, Quezon City, where they may be served with court order and other processes; 2. Defendant JOHN CHIU CO is a resident of #123 Acacia St., Fairville, Quezon City where he may be serve with summons, order and other court processes; 3. Plaintiff became owner of a certain parcel of land, through a Deed of Sale from the original owner, JANICE DY LEE Copy of the Deed of Sale is hereto attached as Annex “A”; 9


4. The parcel of land is situated in #129 Fairville, Barangay Pangsy, City of Quezon, Metro Manila. Copy of TCT- 12345 is hereto attached as ANNEX “B”; 5. That as early 2002, JOHN CHIU CO took possession of the property under Lot No. 2-A-1 and constructed a nipa hut thereon. 6. On April 15, 2012 the defendants were surprised that plaintiff JUAN AYSION SANTOS approached and informed him that he was the lawful owner of the land and they acquired it through a sale because their mother never sold the said property when she was alive. 7. On May 19, 2012 the defendant received a summon from the Metropolitan Trial Court to answer for a complaint filed against them for forcible entry. On June 1, 2012 the defendant thru the undersigned counsel filed an answer to the complaint. 8. The same acts of the Plaintiff compelled the Defendant to incur litigation expenses consisting of filing fee, cost of transportation and other miscellaneous accommodation of its lawyers and other personal expenses to be incurred in attending the hearings of this case, etc., fixed at FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS (Php 50,000.00), which the Plaintiff should also be held answerable therefore; ISSUE 1. Whether the defendants can be ejected by forcible entry under Rule 70 Section 1 of the Revised the Rules of Court. ARGUMENTS 1. The defendants cannot be ejected on the subject land for the reason that for forcible entry to attach the following circumstance must concur: (a)That the person is deprived of his property; (b)That such deprivation is due to force, intimidation, threat, strategy or stealth; and (c)That such person has real title over such property. In this case, the Defendant made no deprivation of possession on the Plaintiff because the property was already in his possession and the plaintiff started to claim such land on April 2012 based on the alleged sale of JANICE DY LEE to the Plaintiff. This would only show that defendant was in a threat of losing the subject land which they lawfully acquired through the permission of JANICE DY LEE. Moreover the plaintiff has never been in possession of such land from the time it was acquired by the defendants. This means that plaintiff was never in possession of the property as one of the elements of forcible entry. RESERVATIONS 10
