contracting detailing the scope of work, the number of days to finish the project and
the manner of the delivery of materials should be executed;

8. That the plaintiff demanded the receipt of said down payment but the defendant asked
for time to issue the same because according to him he had to change his business
registration from non-VAT to VAT.

but the defendant asked for time to review the same; the copy of the sub-contract
agreement is hereto attached and marked as Annex “ C ”;

agreement, the defendant delivered some of the materials which where needed in the
project and worth P320,000.00 more or less and then demanded payment for the 40%
cost of the project because according to him it was already agreed on in the quotation
which he first sent and which was signed by the representative of the plaintiff; the
copy of the list of material is hereto attached and marked as Annex “ E ”;

12. That even if he had received the 50% down payment the defendant did not bother to
start the project, specifically the lay out.

13. That on February 10, 2017 , the plaintiff sent a letter to the defendant informing him
that the 90 day period given to him to finish his obligation had already lapsed and that
the defendant failed to make a design and lay-out, the plaintiff demanded as well the
fulfillment of obligation within three (3) days from receipt of letter; the copy of the
letter is hereto attached and marked as Annex “ F ”;

14. That despite non-fulfillment of his obligation, the defendant through his counsel Atty.
Noel Belleza, wrote a letter to the plaintiff demanding payment in the amount of
3

P1,000,000.00 equivalent to the 40% of the cost of the project and stating that failure
to do so could cause the cancellation of the contract;

15. That on February 14, 2017, the plaintiff though its authorized representative sent a
letter to the defendant informing him that the three (3) day period within which to
comply with his obligation within which to comply with his obligation had already
lapsed, thereby terminating their agreement; the copy of the letter is hereto attached
and marked as Annex “G”;

16. That the plaintiff likewise demanded the return of down payment of P1, 500, 000.00
plus damages in the amount of P300,000.00;

“With respect to the return of the down payment, my client is willing to
give back the same provided that you hand over new equipment of the
same kind and quality as those already delivered at Oakridge and pay the
total amount of damages it has incurred due to your breach of contract. My
client has already spent so much for the purchase, delivery, storage, etc.,
of all the equipment needed for the project. It cannot be overemphasized
that the down payment is even insufficient to cover all the expenses
incurred by, and caused to my client.”
The copy of the letter is hereto attached and marked as Annex “ H ”;

18. That apparently the conditions set by the defendant only show that he had no intention
to return the down payment; he even unlawfully demanded the additional 40% of the
contract price without complying with his obligation to the damage and prejudice of
the plaintiff;

19. That in view of the defendant’s failure to fulfill his obligation, the plaintiff was
compelled to engage the services of other sub-contractors to finish the project and
incurred actual expenses amounting to P200,000.00, more or less;

appearance fee of P2,000 per court appearance;

000.00, more or less;
