The petitioner failed to prove that the properties, including a parcel of land inherited by Eusebio from his parents, a house and store established during his first marriage, and another land purchased during his first marriage, were acquired during his marriage to the petitioner. The documents presented, such as building permits and business licenses listing the petitioner's name, did not sufficiently demonstrate the properties were acquired during the marriage. Therefore, the properties were considered Eusebio's separate properties and not part of the conjugal partnership.

sari store, private respondents aver that these properties were either constructed or established by their father during his first marriage. On the other hand, petitioner insists that the said assets belong to conjugal partnership. In support of her claim, petitioner relied on the building permits for the house and the apartment, with her as the applicant although in the name of Eusebio. She also invoked the business license for the sari-sari store issued in her name alone. However, the aforementioned documents in no way prove that the improvements were acquired during the second marriage. And the fact that one is the applicant or licensee is not determinative of the issue as to whether or not the property is conjugal.

In contrast, petitioner claims ownership over said property inasmuch as the title thereto is registered in the name of “Eusebio Francisco, married to Teresita Francisco.” The fact that the land was registered in the name of “Eusebio Francisco, married to Teresita Francisco”, is no proof that the property was acquired during the spouses coverture. The phrase “married to” preceding “Teresita Francisco” is merely descriptive of the civil status of Eusebio Francisco.
