SECOND DIVISION


DECISION

DEL CASTILLO, J.:

When one party enters into a covenant with another, he must perform his obligations with fealty and good faith. This becomes more imperative where such party has been given a grant, such as land, under the land reform laws. While the tenant is emancipated from bondage to the soil, the landowner is entitled to his just compensation for the deprivation of his land.

This Petition for Review on Certiorari' assails the May 21 , 2007 Resolution2 of the Court of Appeals (CA) inCA-GR. SP No. 98730 as well as its  July 23, 2007 Resolution3 denying petitioners’ Motion to Reconsider.4
