of title, and the issuance of the new titles in RCBC’s name had
also been upheld notwithstanding that the same were all done
after the management committee had already been appointed and
there was already a suspension of claims. Thus, applying RCBC v.
IAC in this case, since the foreclosure of respondent DNG’s
mortgage and the issuance of the certificate of sale in petitioner
EPCIB’s favor were done prior to the appointment of a
Rehabilitation Receiver and the Stay Order, all the actions taken
with respect to the foreclosed mortgage property which were
subsequent to the issuance of the Stay Order were not affected by
the Stay Order. Thus, after the redemption period expired without
respondent redeeming the foreclosed property, petitioner becomes
the absolute owner of the property and it was within its right to
ask for the consolidation of title and the issuance of new title in its
name as a consequence of ownership; thus, it is entitled to the
possession and enjoyment of the property. (Italics supplied)
