Practice question
An owner receives a certificate covering registered land. A burden is established to be a subsisting right arising under Philippine law that need not appear of record to bind subsequent purchasers. The owner insists that lack of annotation necessarily eliminates every such right. Which conclusion follows from Section 44?
- Every unannotated right is necessarily void.
- Registration exempts the land from the Constitution.
- The owner may disregard the right solely because the certificate omits it.
- The stipulated statutory exception can bind despite the absence of annotation.
- A certificate always extinguishes all statutory liens.
