2004 at Gen. Trias, Cavite as shown by her Certificate of Death1, copy of

Page 2 of 7 Guarin vs Guarin
parcel of memorial lot with an area of sixteen (16) square meters and
mausoleum with two (2) empty tombs erected on it, a copy of the
“Kasulatan ng BIlihan ng Lupang Libingan” is hereto attached as Annex
“B” and made an integral part thereof.
5. After Teresa O. Guarin died on January 16, 2004, the
defendants Rodolfo and Leonardo Guarin, without the knowledge,
muchless consent of the herein plaintiffs as legal a legal heirs of the
deceased Teresa O. Guarin, sold to defendant Evarista P. Palustre the
memorial lot and mausoleum referred to in immediate preceding
paragraph, copy of the Deed of Sale is attached as Annex “C”.
6. The sale of the aforesaid memorial lot and mausoleum to
defendants Evarista B. Palustre is not only in gross violation of plaintiffs’
hereditary rights as children of the decaeased Teresa O. Guarin, but as
well null and void because (i) it did not contain the signatures of the
herein plaintiffs as legal heirs of the deceased Teresa O. Guarin (ii) the
Sellers in the Deed of Sale, namely: defendants Rodolfo O. Guarin and
Leonardo O. Guarin are not the owners of the memorial lot and
mausoleum referred to above, but their mother, the deceased Teresa O.
Guarin as clearly shown in the Deed of Sale executed by Xrispina A.
Salgado (Annex “A”), and (iii) after the death of their mother the
memorial lot and mausoleum forms part of her state, thus belong to all
her legal heirs. Defendants Rodolfo and Leonarod Guarin alone without
Page 3 of 7 Guarin vs Guarin
the participation of the herein plaintiffs as legal heirs also of the
deceased cannot sell the property to defendant Evarista B. Palustre. The
sale, thereof, made on February 26, 2004 is clearly null and void.
7. Earnest efforts towards a compromise had been made by
the herein plaintiffs, they being brothers and sisters belonging to the
same family, but the same prove in vain.
8. This case has been brought first to Barangay Council or
Lupon ng Tagapamayapa ofBrgy. Tapia, Gen. Trias, Cavite for
conciliation proceedings, as mandated by Law, but efforts to arrive at an
amicable settlement proved futile, constraining the said
Lupon/Barangay Council to issue a Certification endorsing, photocopy
of the Barangay Certification is hereto attached as Annex “D” hereof.
9. As a result of the filing of this case, plaintiffs were
constrained to engage the service of counsel for which they incur the
obligation to pay Attorney’s Fees in the sum of 25,000.00, plus the₱
sum of 1,000.00 for every appearance in court. They will further incur₱
