Property, Ownership and Its ModificationsCAGAOAN VS. CAGAOAN- Donation in Good Faith

An ordinary donee of a land who causes the donation to be recorded in the Mortgage Law Register in bad faith or with notice of the rights of an adverse claimant requires no additional rights against such claimant through the inscription in the registry.
FACTS:Eugenio and Felix Cagaoan are sons of Gregorio Cagaoan.

 Property, Ownership and Its ModificationsDANGUILAN VS. MELAD- Onerous Donations

An onerous donation is not covered by Article 749. There is no need for a public instrument. A private document is enough to make an onerous donation valid.
FACTS:Respondent filed a complaint against the petitioner for recovery of a farm lot and a residential lot which she claimed she had purchased from Domingo Melad, the original owner, and were now being unlawfully withheld by the defendant. In his answer, the petitioner denied the allegation and averred that he was the owner of the said lots of which he had been in open, continuous and adverse possession, having acquired them from Domingo Melad in 1941 and 1943 by donation.
For his part, the Petitioner testified that he was the husband of Isidra Melad, Domingo's niece, whom he and his wife Juana Malupang had taken into their home as their ward as they had no children of their own. He and his wife lived with the couple in the [ ... ]
