This paper analyzes the application of Section 187 of the Civil Procedure Code in the context of a civil appeal regarding the dismissal of a plaint by the Additional District Judge of Kandy. The case highlights the necessity for judges to provide detailed reasons for their decisions in compliance with the requirements of Section 187, citing various legal precedents that support the argument that mere affirmative or negative responses inadequately fulfill judicial obligations. The ruling ultimately emphasizes that procedural errors or omissions can infringe upon the substantive rights of the parties involved, warranting judicial review and potential rectification.

Facts: In 2001, Madayag filed with the RTC of Urdaneta, Pangasinan an application for registration of a parcel of land with an area of 1,492-m2 located in Barangay Anonas, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan. Attached to the application was a tracing cloth of Survey Plan Psu-01-008438, approved by the LMS-DENR, Region 1, San Fernando City. SM opposed the application because allegedly, the lot encroached on the properties it recently purchased from several lot owners. SM also filed with the DENR a petition for cancellation of the survey plan. Afterwhich, SM filed with the RTC an Urgent Motion to Suspend Proceeding in the land registration case alleging that the trial court should wait for DENR's resolution of the petition. After the trial, the RTC suspended the registration proceedings on the ground that the petition for cancellation of the survey plan filed by SM with DENR is prejudicial to the determination of the land registration case since a survey plan is one of the mandatory requirements in such proceedings. When Madayag appealed to CA, the latter ratiocinated that the survey plan, which was duly approved by the DENR, should be accorded the presumption of regularity, and that the RTC has the power to hear and determine all questions arising from an application for registration. Issue/s: Whether or not the RTC has jurisdiction over land registration proceedings is affected if there is a petition filed in DENR to cancel the survey plan, one of the mandatory requirements in such proceedings. Ruling: Yes. The Court held that as an incident to its authority to settle all questions over the title of the subject property, the land registration court may resolve the underlying issue of whether the subject property overlaps the petitioner's properties without necessarily having to declare the survey plan as void. Furthermore, It stated that a land registration court has the duty to determine whether the issuance of a new certificate of title will alter a valid and existing certificate of title. An application for registration of an already titled land constitutes a collateral attack on the existing title, which is not allowed by law. However, the RTC need not wait for the decision of the DENR in the petition to cancel the survey plan in order to determine whether the subject property is already titled or forms part of already titled property. The court may now verify this allegation based on the respondent's survey plan vis-à-vis the certificates of title of the petitioner and its predecessors-ininterest. After all, a survey plan precisely serves to establish the true identity of the land to ensure that it does not overlap a parcel of land or a portion thereof already covered by a previous land registration, and to forestall the possibility that it will be overlapped by a subsequent registration of any adjoining land.
