VIAJAR V. CA
168 SCRA 405
FACTS:
Spouses Ladrido were owners of a registered land. Spouses Teh were also owners of a registered land. The latter sold the land to Viajar. During a relocation survey, it was found out that the land was being occupied by Ladrido. It was found out also that the 2 parcels of land were separated by the river—one portion was being possessed by the defendant together with the old river bed.
HELD:
Registration under the Torrens system doesn't protect the riparian owner against the dimunition of the area of his registered land through gradual changes in the course of an adjoining stream.
