A parcel of 0.75 hectares is possessed openly and continuously as the owner's own by Luz starting May 1, 1997. Luz has a deed of sale from the owner (just title) and acts in good faith. The land remains unregistered until 2010, when a Torrens title is issued in the name of Luz’s neighbor, Ben. In 2024, Luz files suit for reconveyance based on prescription. Assuming Luz’s possession continues, which of the following is the best answer regarding (a) the reckoning point (a quo) for the prescriptive period, (b) the applicable prescription regime, and (c) whether Ben’s Torrens title prevents Luz’s prescription claim? Explain briefly.

Choose the Best Answer

Reckoning point (a quo): May 1, 1997; Prescription regime: ordinary (10 years) because Luz possessed in good faith with just title; Ben’s Torrens title issued in 2010 does not preclude Luz’s prescription claim since the possession matured well before registration. Reckoning point (a quo): May 1, 2010; Prescription regime: ordinary (10 years) because prescription cannot commence until a Torrens title is issued to a neighboring owner; Ben’s title therefore defeats Luz’s claim. Reckoning point (a quo): May 1, 1997; Prescription regime: extraordinary (30 years) because unregistered lands require 30 years regardless of title or good faith; Ben’s Torrens title does not matter. Reckoning point (a quo): May 1, 1997; Prescription regime: extraordinary (30 years) because the land remained unregistered until after Luz started possession; Ben’s Torrens title in 2010 completely bars Luz’s prescription claim.
