🏠 DONATION OF PROPERTY: KNOW YOUR LIMITS!

A lot of families think:
👉 “Pwede ra i-donate tanan kay ako man ni.”

But under the law, dili tanan pwede ihatag — especially if naa kay asawa ug anak.

📌 Example Situation:
Exclusive Property – 500 sqm

✅ Legitime (Protected by Law): 250 sqm
➡️ Para ni sa asawa ug anak (dili pwede kuhaon)

✅ Free Portion: 250 sqm
➡️ Mao ra ni ang pwede nimo i-donate freely

⚠️ If you donate the full 500 sqm:
Pwede ra na karon…
BUT in the future, your wife and child can claim back their share.

💡 Lesson:
Ayaw ihatag tanan kung naa kay pamilya.
Protect your loved ones. Plan wisely.

LATEST JURISPRUDENCE: RELEASE DATE, JANUARY 2026

Electric transmission towers were built on private land in Iloilo in 1979 and 1995. The landowners received no immediate compensation. In 2014 the government utility filed an expropriation case and deposited PHP 6,688,650. Courts disputed how to compute just compensation and damages for affected areas.

Top 3 doctrines

1. Just compensation is determined at the date of taking
Under Rule 67 of the Rules of Court, valuation is fixed at the time the property was actually taken or the filing of the complaint, whichever came first. When government installed transmission lines earlier, the value at that time controls.

2. Present value formula may adjust compensation
Courts may apply the present value formula to adjust the value at the time of taking. This accounts for delay in payment and reflects the time value of money.

3. Consequential damages for unusable portions
Areas rendered useless by transmission lines may receive consequential damages. Jurisprudence usually fixes damages at 50 percent of the BIR zonal valuation of the affected area.

Sa pagitan ng nagbibili (seller) at bumibili (buyer):

- Ang paglipat ng pagmamay-ari ng ari-arian ay hindi nangyayari sa oras na mailabas ang bagong certificate of title sa pangalan ng buyer.

- Sa halip, nagkakaroon ng paglipat ng pagmamay-ari sa sandaling maisakatuparan ang instrumento ng pagbebenta (instrument of sale) bilang isang public document.
