FACTS: Bambalan’s
parents received a loan from marimba. When the father died, Bambalan was left
as the sole heir of his father’s estate. Maramba forced Bambalan, who was at
that time a minor, to sell their land as payment for the loan. Bambalan signed
because he was forced to do so because they were threatening his mother with
imprisonment. Muerang and Maramba bought Bambalan’s 1st cedula to
acknowledge the document
ISSUE: W/N the sale of
land to Maramba was valid
HELD: The sale was void because he was a minor
at the time of the execution. Doctrine of Mercado vs Espiritu is not applicable
because the plaintiff did not pretend to be of age, and the defendant knew him
as a minor.
