Practice question
A2026 ownership-recovery complaint omits assessed value in its body, but its annexed official declaration clearly states the disputed parcel's assessed value of PHP250,000. No special rule applies. Which is best?
- The court must ignore every annex by definition.
- The PHP250,000 figure must automatically be treated as 25 million.
- The annex conclusively proves every ownership issue too.
- Consider the annex-based qualification; omission from the body alone is not automatically fatal.
- No property-recovery action can ever be filed.
