ANSWER
Defendant through the undersigned counsel, and unto this Honorable Court,
respectfully alleges that:
1. On March 1, 2019, petitioner filed before this Honorable Court a Petition for
Replacement of her Duplicate Certificate of Title No. 123456;
2. Petitioner alleges in his Petition that pending registration of the said Duplicate
Certificate of Title and other documents, and while same were in the possession
and custody of the office of the defendant, the building in which was housed said
office was burned to the ground, together with all its records and papers, and the
said papers were not among those salvaged from the fire;
3. However, Defendant strongly disaffirm the replacement of said Duplicate
Certificate of Title since the building was not actually caught by fire;
4. The said building was just transferred from Mahayahay, Iligan City to Tominobo,
Iligan City;
5. Further, Petitioner’s request of asking for replacement of said title was tainted of
fraud since the Petitioner’s title was not among the titles recorded by the
Defendant and Petitioner’s actuation was to secure a title for himself even he
was not the real owner of the property.
