DECISION REYES, J. JR., J.: This is a Petition for Review on Certiorari[1] under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court, assailing the Decision[2] dated October 31, 2014 and the Resolution[3] dated February 24, 2015 of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA G.R. SP No. 134040, which reversed the Decision[4] dated August 3, 2012 of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Baguio City in Civil Case No. 7567-R and accordingly, reinstated the Judgment[5] dated January 6, 2012 of the Municipal Trial Court in Cities (MTCC) of Baguio City in MTCC Case No. 13478. The Facts Patrick G. Madayag (Patrick), Federico G. Madayag (Federico), Dionisio Madayag (Dionisio), Arthuro Madayag (Arthuro), Lourdes Madayag Dennison (Lourdes), and Carlos Madayag (Carlos) are all children of the spouses Anatalio Madayag (Anatalio) and Maria Consuelo Madayag (Maria Consuelo).[6] Anatalio was an employee of John Hay Air Base during his lifetime. As such, he was allowed to occupy a parcel of land in a housing facility for John Hay Air Base's employees located at Lot 24, Block 7, Scout Barrio Housing Project, Baguio City with an area of 493 square meters. Anatalio built a residential building thereon which served as the family home. Notably, said housing facility was under the jurisdiction of the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA).[7] After their father and mother passed in 1979 and 1994, respectively, or on February 7, 1994, the siblings agreed to execute a Deed of Adjudication of Real Property and Quitclaim, whereby Federico, along with his brothers Dionisio, Arthuro, and Carlos waived and relinquished their interest in the property in favor of Patrick and their sister, Lourdes, who is an American citizen.[8] Sometime in 2002, BCDA issued a Certificate of Lot Award in favor of the "Heirs of Anatalio F. Madayag." This Certificate was, however, cancelled and corrected as attested to by Bobby Akia, an officer of the Land and Asset Development Division of the John Hay Management Corporation, by virtue of the said Deed.[9] Consequently, on March 20, 2006, a Certificate of Lot Award was issued by the BCDA solely in favor of Patrick, and his named co-owner in the Deed, Lourdes, being an American citizen.
