G.R. No. 137650. April 12, 2000.*
PANGANIBAN, J.:
FACTS:
An action for ejectment was filed against petitioners by Fernandez spouses who allegedly own the building apartment.
However, Guillerma Tumlos the petitioner contends that the respondents had no cause of action against her, since she is a co-owner of the subject premises and being named in the Contract to Sell as the wife of [Respondent] Mario Fernandez. She alleged that she cohabited with the petitioner-husband without the benefit of marriage, and that she bore him two (2) children. The lower court decided that since she failed to prove that she contributed money to the purchase price of the subject apartment building, there is no basis to justify her co-ownership.
