Section 108. Amendment and Alteration of Certificates. No Erasure
No erasure,
alteration, or amendment shall be made upon the registration book
after the entry of a certificate of title or of a memorandum thereon
and the attestation of the same be Register of Deeds, except by
order of the proper Court of First Instance. A registered owner of
other person having an interest in registered property, or, in proper
cases, the Register of Deeds with the approval of the Commissioner
of Land Registration, may apply by petition to the court upon the
ground that the registered interests of any description, whether
vested, contingent, expectant or inchoate appearing on the
certificate, have terminated and ceased; or that new interest not
appearing upon the certificate have arisen or been created; or that
an omission or error was made in entering a certificate or any
memorandum thereon, or, on any duplicate certificate; or that the
same or any person on the certificate has been changed; or that the
registered owner has married, or, if registered as married, that the
marriage has been terminated and no right or interests of heirs or
creditors will thereby be affected; or that a corporation which owned
registered land and has been dissolved has not convened the same
within three years after its dissolution; or upon any other
reasonable ground; and the court may hear and determine the
petition after notice to all parties in interest, and may order the
entry or cancellation of a new certificate, the entry or cancellation of
a memorandum upon a certificate, or grant any other relief upon
such terms and conditions, requiring security or bond if necessary,
as it may consider proper; Provided, however, That this section
shall not be construed to give the court authority to reopen the
judgment or decree of registration, and that nothing shall be done
or ordered by the court which shall impair the title or other interest
of a purchaser holding a certificate for value and in good faith, or
his heirs and assigns, without his or their written consent. Where
the owner's duplicate certificate is not presented, a similar petition
may be filed as provided in the preceding section.
