1. I am an owner of a parcel of land located at Barangay PAO 3 rd,
Camiling, Tarlac covered by Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) No.149516 registered in my name;
2. I have been keeping the Second Owner’s Duplicate Copy inside
one of the drawers in my room for safekeeping;
3. On December 2017 I went to the one-stop shop office of Camiling,
located within the Camiling Municipal Compound to pay my taxes and brought with me the Transfer Certificate of Title No.149516;
4. When I arrived home, I noticed that my Second Owner’s Copy of
the Transfer Certificate of Title No.149516 was missing and only the receipt of the payment of taxes I paid was with me;
5. I immediately called my daughter and we tried to find the said
missing title in our house before going to one-stop shop office;
6. When we arrived at the one-stop office of Camiling, I asked the
persons inside and the officers therein, if they have seen a transfer certificate of title but they all told me that they did not; nonetheless the officers of the said office told me to return the following day and they will try to find the same;
7. As advised by the officers of the said office, I went back the
following morning and they told me that they did not find my missing title, thus, despite diligent efforts made, I consider the same as lost and beyond recovery;
8. I am executing this Affidavit to inform the Registry of Deeds for
the Province of Tarlac and Land Registration Authority concerning the loss of the original copy of Owner’s Duplicate Certificate of Transfer Certificate of Title (TCT) No. 149516 registered in my name; and to request the said authorities to annotate this Affidavit in the file copy of the said certificate with the Registry of Deeds;
9. Finally, I am executing this Affidavit to attest to the foregoing
statements and for all legal intents and purposes it may serve. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto affixed my signature this July 12, 2018 at Camiling, Tarlac, Philippines.
