THIRD DIVISION
G.R. No. 151040 October 6, 2005
DECISION
GARCIA, J.:
Before us are these two (2) petitions for review on
certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court to nullify
and set aside the following issuances of the Court of
Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. CV 41280, to wit:
1. Decision dated 11 December 2001, 1 partially
reversing and setting aside an earlier decision of the
Regional Trial Court at Makati, Branch 145, in its Civil
Case No. 10947; and
2. Resolution dated 01 July 2002, 2 denying Cheng
Yong and Lilia Gaws motion for reconsideration.
The material facts:
Sometime before 1981, Philippine Pacific Fishing
Company, Inc. (Philippine Pacific), through its then ViceChairman of the Board and concurrent President Marilyn
Javier, obtained from Allied Banking Corporation (Allied
Bank), a packing credit accommodation amounting to
One Million Seven Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Pesos
(P1,752,000.00).
To secure the obligation, Marilyn Javier and the spouses
Cheng Yong and Lilia Gaw (spouses Cheng, for short),
executed a Continuing Guaranty/Comprehensive Surety
bearing date 27 March 1981.3
Later, Philippine Pacific, due to business reverses and
alleged misuse of corporate funds by its operating
officers, defaulted in the payment of said obligation.
An intra-corporate dispute among its stockholders
followed, prompting the filing against Philippine Pacific of
a petition for receivership before the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), which petition was
docketed as SEC Case No. 2042. Likewise, a criminal
case for Estafa was filed against Marilyn Javier.

2. That the ownership of the parties over the
said properties [is] not absolute considering
the fact that there was a mistake in
designating the owner of the respective
properties. Lot No. 6270 should have been
given to the Party of the Second Part and Lot
No. 6297 should have been allotted to the
Party of the First Part. This wrong designation
was committed in the settlement and partition
of the estate of the late Proceso Maagad.
