Parcel Q-82, City of Malinis, is owned by Oceanic Holdings, Inc. The city treasurer issues the real property tax assessment and sends the notice of assessment and demand letter to Oceanic’s registered address. The letter is returned with the notation “Moved, left no forwarding address.” The city posts a notice of impending sale at the city hall and conspicuously at the parcel, but does not publish the sale in any newspaper or publication. After the prescribed period, the city conducts a public auction and transfers title to the highest bidder. Oceanic challenges the sale on the ground that due process was not observed. Decide whether the sale is valid and what remedies Oceanic may pursue if it is void.
