DECISION

PANGANIBAN, J.:


The present case involves a dispute between parents and children. The children were invited by the parents to occupy the latter's two lots, out of parental love and a desire to foster family solidarity. Unfortunately, an unresolved conflict terminated this situation. Out of pique, the parents asked them to vacate the premises. Thus, the children lost their right to remain on the property. They have the right, however, to be indemnified for the useful improvements that they constructed thereon in good faith and with the consent of the parents. In short, Article 448 of the Civil Code applies.
