The Chamber of Real Estate & Builders’ Associations, Inc. (CREBA) Cebu Chapter recently held its General Monthly Meeting, with a key discussion led by Atty. Ariel B. Condat, Provincial Director of the Registry of Deeds – Cebu Province. The session focused on the nuances behind adverse claims, an essential yet often misunderstood aspect of property law that impacts real estate developers, investors, and landowners.
Atty. Condat provided an in-depth analysis of adverse claims, explaining their legal basis, procedural requirements, and implications on land titles. He emphasized the importance of properly filing and responding to adverse claims, as these can significantly affect property transactions, ownership disputes, and land security. His talk also highlighted common misconceptions and legal remedies available to those facing adverse claims, helping CREBA members better navigate the complexities of land ownership and title registration.
The discussion was followed by an open forum, where attendees actively engaged with Atty. Condat, seeking clarifications on real-life scenarios involving adverse claims. This interactive exchange showed the importance of due diligence and legal awareness in protecting property rights and ensuring smooth real estate transactions.
In addition to the legal discussion, CREBA Cebu members also looked forward to the upcoming Central & North Luzon Regional Housing Conference & Expo, set to take place from April 22–26, 2025, at the Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga, Philippines. This major event, themed “Transformative Real Estate: Redefining the Future of North & Central Luzon,” will gather industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to explore opportunities and challenges in the real estate sector.
The conference will feature a welcome dinner, exhibits, and a whole-day conference at Royce Hotel & Casino Clark, followed by a three-day housing expo at CDC-HSD Training Hall Clark. Attendees can expect insightful discussions on housing policies, sustainable development, and investment prospects in the region.
As CREBA continues to champion the interests of real estate professionals, the recent meeting reinforced the organization’s commitment to legal education, industry growth, and meaningful dialogue. With the upcoming regional conference, members remain optimistic about shaping a more resilient and progressive housing sector in the Philippines.
