    The respondents owned land that they verbally granted the petitioner (NPC) right-of-way to temporarily install wooden electric posts, with the agreement that NPC would relocate the posts when permanent ones were installed. However, NPC continued using the land without respondents' permission. NPC argued it acquired the easement through acquisitive prescription but the court ruled an easement cannot be acquired by prescription unless it is continuous.

    NPC vs Spouses Campos

    G.R. No. 143643 June 27, 2003


    CALLEJO, SR., J.:
    FACTS:
    the respondents filed with the court a quo an action for sum of money and
    damages against the petitioner. In their complaint, the respondents alleged that they are
    the owners of a parcel of land. Sometime in the middle of 1970, Dr. Paulo C. Campos,
    who was then the President of the Cavite Electric Cooperative and brother of
    respondent Jose C. Campos, Jr., verbally requested the respondents to grant the
    petitioner a right-of-way over a portion of the subject property. The respondents
    acceded to this request upon the condition that the said installation would only be
    temporary in nature. The petitioner assured the respondents that the arrangement
    would be temporary and that the wooden electric posts would be relocated as soon as
    permanent posts and transmission lines shall have been installed
    Contrary to the verbal agreement of the parties, however, the petitioner
    continued to use the subject property for its wooden electrical posts and transmission
    lines without compensating the respondents therefor.
    The NPC’s defense is that it already acquires the easement of right of way
    through acquisitive prescription.
    ISSUE:
    Whether or not NPC is correct that it already acquires the easement through
    prescription?
    RULING:
    No, easement of right of way cannot be acquired through prescription since it is
    not continuous easement.
