Jan 22, 2024 · Facts: On November 27, 1922, Gervasia de la Rosa, Vda. de Vera, who was leasing a parcel of land in the City of Manila and owned a house built there, executed a document in the form of a chattel mortgage in favor of the Standard Oil Company of New York.
After said document had been duly acknowledge and delivered, the petitioner caused the same to be presented to the respondent, Joaquin Jaramillo, as register of deeds of the City of Manila, for the purpose of having the same recorded in the book of record of chattel mortgages.
FACTS: De la Rosa was the lessee of a piece of land, on which a house she owns was built. She executed a chattel mortgage in favor of the petitioner—purporting the leasehold interest in the land and the ownership of house.
The court ruled that Jaramillo did not have the authority to determine the nature of documents for registration and make decisions based on whether the property was real or personal. The duties of a register of deeds are purely ministerial and they must record any documents presented.
