Short answer. Generally yes. Article 1608 of the Civil Code allows the vendor in a sale with the right of redemption to bring an action against every possessor whose right is derived from the original buyer — even if the successive sale made no mention of the right to repurchase. The right follows the property.
What the law says
The vendor may bring his action against every possessor whose right is derived from the vendee, even if in the second contract no mention should have been made of the right to repurchase

The right of redemption runs with the property
Article 1608 makes clear that a right of redemption does not evaporate simply because the buyer sells the property to someone else. The vendor may bring his action against every possessor whose right is derived from the vendee. A second buyer who purchased from your original buyer, and even a third buyer who purchased from the second, holds the property subject to your redemption right — as long as the redemption period has not expired and the legal conditions for registering the right have been met. The fact that the subsequent sale made no mention of the right to repurchase does not extinguish it.
Why silence in the second deed does not cut off your right
Buyers in a chain of transactions sometimes argue that because the resale did not mention the original vendor's right of repurchase, the right was waived or does not apply to them. Article 1608 forecloses this argument directly: the right survives even if in the second contract no mention should have been made of the right to repurchase. The buyer who takes property already encumbered by a redemption right takes it subject to that right, whether or not the seller disclosed it. This is why a thorough title search before buying matters — the right may be there even if the deed is silent.
The important exception: the Mortgage Law and Land Registration Law
Article 1608 ends with a significant qualifier: the right to pursue successive possessors is without prejudice to the provisions of the Mortgage Law and the Land Registration Law with respect to third persons. For registered land, a subsequent buyer in good faith who had no notice of the redemption right — and whose title is covered by the Torrens system — may be protected against the original vendor's claim. The redemption right must appear in the certificate of title or be annotated on it to bind third parties who purchased in good faith and for value. If the right was never registered or annotated, an innocent purchaser may take the land free from it.
What you should do now
Check first whether your right of redemption is still within the period — the Civil Code sets the maximum at four years from the date of the contract, unless a longer period was agreed upon but not exceeding ten years. Then determine whether the property is registered and whether your right was annotated on the title. If the current possessor took the property with knowledge of your right, or if the right is properly registered, you may bring your redemption action against them directly. Acting promptly is important: the redemption period cannot be extended beyond what the law allows, and delay can result in the permanent loss of the right.
