Registration under wrong system

In Consulta No. 2887, citing Consulta No. 1302, this Authority held that:

" There are two systems of registration prevailing in our jurisdiction. One is the Torrens System of registration for registered land under Presidential Decree No. 1529, and the other is the system of registration for unregistered land under Act No. 3344 (now Sec. 113 of P.D. 1529). These systems of registration are separate and distinct from each other in scope and subject matter. Thus, registration under P.D. 1529 refers to the titled lands, while registration under Act No. 3344 concerns unregistered lands. Documents involving registered lands should be recorded only under P.D. 1529. The registration therefore of an instrument under the wrong system of registration produces no legal effect."
