In a Decision penned by Senior Associate Justice Marvic M.V.F. Leonen, the Court discouraged legal actions brought about by a broken heart and a broken promise as it reiterated that a mere breach of a promise to marry is not an actionable wrong as long as it does not palpably and unjustifiably contradict good customs.

The Court found that Jhonna Guevarra was NOT liable for damages to her former fiancee, Jan Banach, a German national, after breaking up with him when she discovered that he was not a divorcee, but was still married to a third wife.

The Court ruled that there was no legal basis to order Guevarra to return the PHP 500,000.00 sent by her ex-fiance for a supposed conjugal home since she was justified in breaking off their engagement and Banach’s actions were tainted with fraud and deceit since he lied about his marital status and even hid his true name from Guevarra.

Furthermore, the Court explained that since the money was given as a gift to help Guevarra and her family with their possible eviction from their home, the legal principle of unjust enrichment cannot be applied to compel her to return the cash to Banach.

📌Reconstitution of duplicate certificate of title under Section 109 of P.D. 1529 simply refers to the re-issuance of a lost duplicate certificate of title in its original form. This can only be availed of if the duplicate certificate of title is indeed lost or destroyed. If the duplicate certificate has not been lost or destroyed but is in the possession of another person, then the reconstituted title shall be considered void.

This is according to the case of Spouses Ernesto Ibais, Sr. and Gonigonda Ibais vs. Benita Perez Macabeo, G.R. No. 205004, August 17, 2016
