Office of The City Mayor of Paranaque v. Ebio

Mario Ebio and his heirs claimed ownership of land that was formed from accretion along Cut-Cut creek. City officials cut trees planted on the lot. The Supreme Court ruled that alluvial deposits along creek banks do not form part of public domain, and automatically belong to the owner of the adjacent estate. Therefore, the land belonged to Ebio and his heirs as accreted portion of their property.

Office of the City Mayor of Paranaque v.

Ebio, 621 SCRA 555 (2010)

DOCTRINE:

FACTS:
Mario Ebio and his heirs claim that they are the absolute owners of a
land that is an accretion of cut-cut creek. Ebio secured building permits
for the construction of their house and Pedro executed a notarized
Transfer of Rights.

Officials from the Barangay and City Planning Office proceeded to cut
trees planted on the lot.

ISSUE:
Who is the owner of the lands adjoining cutcut creek and
accreted portion beside

RULING:
➢ It is uncontested fact that the subject land was formed from the
alluvial deposits that have gradually settled along the banks of Cut-
Cut creek. Alluvial deposits along the banks of a creek do not form
part of the public domain as the alluvial property automatically
belongs to the owner of the estate to which it may have been
added.
