PANGANIBAN, J.: 

       Forgery must be proven by the party alleging it; it cannot be presumed. To prevent a forged transfer from being registered, the Torrens Act requires, as a prerequisite to registration, the production of the owner's certificate of title and the instrument of conveyance. A registered owner who places in the hands of another an executed document of transfer of registered land effectively represents to a third party that the holder of such document is authorized to deal with the property.[1] 

The Case
