GLICERIA ROSETE v.

PROVINCIAL SHERIFF OF ZAMBALES


G.R. No. L-6335 July 31, 1954

FACTS:
1. Husband of plaintiff, Epifanio Fularon, was convicted and sentenced to indemnify the heirs of the victims
in a criminal case.
2. To satisfy the said civil liability, 4 parcels of land which are conjugal property were levied but were still
insufficient, hence a standing balance.
3. Gliceria Rosete, wife of Fularon, later bought 2 parcels of the said land using her father’s money.
4. Given the standing balance, Sheriff later sold said 2 parcels of land in order to satisfy the husband’s
balance.

ISSUE:
Does the plaintiff’s redemption of the two parcels of land in question, with money from her father, made the
property paraphernal and as such is beyond the reach of further execution?

RULING:
Yes. Gliceria Rosete, the wife, redeemed the property, not in behalf of her husband, but as successor in interest
in the whole or part of the property, it being then conjugal. The property in question has therefore become the
exclusive property of the plaintiff. She has acquired it by right of redemption as successor in interest of her
husband. It has ceased to be the property of the judgment debtor. It can no longer therefore be the subject of
execution under a judgment exclusively affecting the personal liability of the
latter. The conclusion reached by the lower court on this matter is therefore not warranted by law.
