📌 What if one day, you wake up to find someone trying to take your land—and the court sides with them, all because of a paperwork delay?

This isn’t just a legal battle—it’s a wake-up call for all Filipino property owners. Would you risk everything on a missed deadline?

📄 Remedios M. Mascarinas vs. BPI Family Savings Bank, Inc.
G.R. No. 228138 | Promulgated: August 27, 2020

🔍 In the landmark case Mascarinas vs. BPI Family Savings Bank, G.R. No. 228138, the Supreme Court of the Philippines tackled a shocking issue: Can a delayed filing of a petition due to an overworked, ailing lawyer justify the loss of a valuable property? Remedios Mascarinas nearly lost her 1,552 sqm lot—worth millions—because a writ of possession was mistakenly enforced on her land instead of the bank’s. The Regional Trial Court and the Court of Appeals refused her plea to correct the mistake, citing procedural technicalities. But the Supreme Court, invoking the higher interest of substantial justice, admitted the late petition and ordered a survey to clarify the true boundary. This case underscores a vital doctrine in remedial law: substantial justice must prevail over technicality. Property owners, this could be your story too.
