where the ITF could detain the vessels unless it paid its season ITF rates. The
facts showed that when the seamen boarded the vessel M/T Jannu, there was
no intention to send their ship to Australia but would trade in Carribean
ports only. The agent of the owner of the vessel agreed to a 25% increase, but
when the vessel arrived in Japan shortly afterwards, the seamen were
repatriated to Manila and their contracts terminated.

The seamen (private respondents) filed a complaint for illegal dismissal

with the National Seamen Board. The NSB rendered a decision declaring
that the seamen breached their employment contracts when they

Act No. 3135 a foreclosure petition of the mortgaged lots. The lots were
sold or auctioned off with PNB as the highest bidder. A Final Deed of Sale
and a Certificate of Sale was executed in favor of the petitioner. The final
Deed of Sale was registered in Registry of Property. Inasmuch as the
respondent did not buy back the lots from PNB, PNB sold on the same in a
"Deed of Conditional Sale". The Notices of Sale of foreclosed properties
were published on March 28, April 11 and April 12, 1969 in a newspaper.

Respondent brought a complaint for the reconveyance of the lands, which

the petitioner allegedly unlawfully foreclosed. The petitioner states on the
other hand that the extrajudicial foreclosure, consolidation of ownership,
and subsequent sale were all valid.

The CFI rendered its Decision; the complaint against the petitioner was
dismissed.

Unsatisfied with the judgment, respondent interposed an appeal that the

lower court erred in holding that there was a valid compliance in regard to
the required publication under Sec. 3 of Act. 3135.

Respondent court reversed the judgment appealed from by declaring void,

inter alia, the auction sale of the foreclosed pieces of realty, the final deed
of sale, and the consolidation of ownership. Hence, the petition with SC for
certiorari and intervention.

Issue:

WON the required publication of The Notices of Sale on the foreclosed

properties under Sec. 3 of Act 3135 was complied.

Ruling:
No. The first date falls on a Friday while the second and third dates are on
a Friday and Saturday, respectively. Section 3 of Act No. 3135 requires that
the notice of auction sale shall be "published once a week for at least three
consecutive weeks". Evidently, petitioner bank failed to comply with this
legal requirement. The Supreme Court held that:

The rule is that statutory provisions governing publication of notice of

mortgage foreclosure sales
