__EMPLOYEE__

____Address____

Re: "Termination of Probationary Employment"

Dear __Employee__:

As a probationary employee, you were made aware that your continued employment with
the company and conversion into regular or permanent status is dependent not only on your
satisfactory service and performance of the work assigned to you, but more importantly, on you
successfully meeting the strict Company standards for regularization as provided for in your
Probationary Employment Agreement. The stringent standards and selection process set by the
company is necessary considering the number of persons competing for the position given to you.

After a thorough observation and evaluation of your performance during the probationary
period, it has been decided by the management not to continue your employment with the company
at this time nor convert your status to a regular employee. While your performance has been
admirable in some respects, it has unfortunately fallen short of the stringent requirements and
standards set by the company for conversion into a regular employee taking into account the very
competitive nature of the selection process.
As such, please be informed that the company will no longer extend your contract of
employment after the expiration of your six (6) month probation period. Kindly surrender all
company property, records, identification, etc. given to you or which are presently in your custody
or possession prior to such termination date. However, considering your admirable service, we
are please to inform you that should you wish to apply for other available positions in the company
in the future, you are more than welcome to do so and your past "performance evaluation" will not
in any way be taken against you.

Again, we would like to thank you for your service to the company and wish you luck in
your future endeavors.

Very truly yours,

(Motion to Quash)

(CAPTION)
MOTION TO QUASH

COME NOW DEFENDANTS, by counsel and unto this Honorable Court, most respectfully move to

quash the information filed against the defendants on the ground of lack of jurisdiction over the subject

matter.

ARGUMENTS

1. Defendants are indicted for committing the crime of "Unjust Vexation" that is punished under

the Article 287, Paragraph 2 of the Revised Penal Code; Said provision states that:

"Any other coercions or unjust vexations shall be punished by arresto


menor or a fine ranging from 5 pesos to 200 pesos, or both." (emphasis
ours)

2. DEFENDANTS, HOWEVER, MOST RESPECTFULLY SUBMIT THAT THIS HONORABLE COURT LACKS

JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE OFFENSE FOR THE REASON THAT ARTICLE

287, PARAGRAPH 2 OF THE REVISED PENAL CODE THAT PUNISHES "UNJUST VEXATIONS"

CANNOT BE A BASIS OF ANY CRIMINAL PROSECUTION FOR BEING NULL AND VOID AND

PATENTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL ON ITS FACE BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING REASONS:

A) SAID PENAL PROVISION CONDEMNS NO SPECIFIC OR DEFINITE


ACT OR OMISSION THUS FAILING TO DEFINE ANY CRIME OR
FELONY;

B) SAID PENAL PROVISION IS SO INDEFINITE, VAGUE AND


OVERBROAD AS NOT TO ENABLE IT TO BE KNOWN WHAT ACT IS
FORBIDDEN;
C) SUCH VAGUENESS AND OVERBREADTH RESULT TO VIOLATION
OF THE DUE PROCESS CLAUSE AND THE RIGHT TO BE INFORMED
OF THE NATURE OF THE OFFENSE CHARGED;

D) SUCH VAGUENESS AND OVERBREADTH LIKEWISE AMOUNT TO


AN INVALID DELEGATION BY CONGRESS OF LEGISLATIVE POWER
TO THE COURTS TO DETERMINE WHAT ACTS SHOULD BE HELD
TO BE CRIMINAL AND PUNISHABLE.

A CRIMINAL OR PENAL LEGISLATION MUST CLEARLY DEFINE OR


SPECIFY THE PARTICULAR ACT OR ACTS PUNISHED

1. It is a well-established doctrine that a criminal or penal legislation must clearly define or specify

the particular acts or omissions punished. As early as 1916, in the case of UNITED STATES VS.

LULING, 34 Phil. 725, our Honorable Supreme Court had the occasion to hold that:

"In some of the States, as well as in England, there exist what are known
as common law offenses. In the Philippine Islands no act is a crime
unless it is made so by statute. The state having the right to declare
what acts are criminal, within certain well defined limitations, has a right
to specify what act or acts shall constitute a crime, as well as what act or
acts shall constitute a crime, as well as what proof shall constitute prima
facie evidence of guilt, and then to put upon the defendant the burden
of showing that such act or acts are innocent and are not committed
with any criminal intent or intention." (emphasis and underscoring ours,
cited in the fairly recent case of Dizon-Pamintuan v. People of the
Philippines, G.R. No. 111426, July 11, 1994) (emphasis and underscoring
ours)

2. Two years later, this was followed by a scholarly exposition by Justice Johnson in the case of In

re: R. MCCULLOCH DICK, 38 Phil. 41, April 16, 1918, where he stated that:
"x x x In the Philippine Islands no act is a crime unless it is made so by
law. The law must specify the particular act or acts constituting the
crime. If that were not so, the inhabitants could not know when they
would be liable to be arrested, tried and punished. Otherwise the
mandatory provisions of the law, that all criminal laws shall be
prescribed, would prove to be a pitfall and a snare. The inhabitants of
the Philippine Islands, whether citizens, denizens or friendly aliens, have
a right to know, in advance of arrest, trial and punishment, the particular
acts for which they may be so tried. They cannot be arrested and tried,
and then be informed for the first time that their acts have been
subsequently made a crime, and be punished therefor. x x x" (emphasis
and underscoring ours)

3. Justice (later Chief Justice) Fernando in his concurring opinion in the case of PEOPLE v. CABURAL,

G.R. No. L-34105, February 4, 1983, also made a similar observation, stating that:

"The maxim Nullum crimen nulla poena sine lege has its roots in history.
It is in accordance with both centuries of civil law and common law
tradition. Moreover, it is an indispensable corollary to a regime of liberty
enshrined in our Constitution. It is of the essence then that while anti-
social acts should be penalized, there must be a clear definition of the
punishable offense as well as the penalty that may be imposed - a
penalty, to repeat, that can be fixed by the legislative body, and the
legislative body alone. So constitutionalism mandates, with its stress on
jurisdictio rather than guvernaculum. The judiciary as the dispenser of
justice through law must be aware of the limitation on its own power."
(emphasis and underscoring ours)

4. The rationale of said doctrine that a criminal or penal legislation must clearly define or specify

the particular act or acts punished is ably explained by the United Stated Supreme Court in the

case of LANZETTA v. STATE OF NEW JERSEY, 306 U.S. 451, where it held that:

"x x x It is the statute, not the accusation under it, that prescribes the
rule to govern conduct and warns against transgression. x x x No one
may be required at peril of life, liberty or property to speculate as to the
meaning of penal statutes. All are entitled to be informed as to what
the State commands or forbids. x x x" (emphasis and underscoring ours)

ARTICLE 287, PAR. 2 OF THE REVISED PENAL CODE CONDEMNS


NO SPECIFIC ACT OR OMISSION! THEREFORE, IT DOES NOT
DEFINE ANY CRIME OR FELONY

5. Paragraph 2 of Article 287 of the Revised Penal Code does not define, much less specify, the acts

constituting or deemed included in the term "unjust vexations" resulting to making the said

provision a sort of a "catch-all" provision patently offensive to the due process clause;

6. The right to define and punish crimes is an attribute of sovereignty. Each State has the authority,

under its police power, to define and punish crimes and to lay down the rules of criminal

procedure. Pursuant to this power to define and punish crimes, the State may not punish an act

as a crime unless it is first defined in a criminal statute so that the people will be forewarned as

to what act is punishable or not. The people cannot be left guessing at the meaning of criminal

statutes;

7. Moreover, Article 3 of the Revised Penal Code defines FELONIES (delitos) as "acts or omissions"

punishable by law. Article 287, Par. 2 of the Revised Penal Code condemns no specific act or

omission! THEREFORE, IT DOES NOT DEFINE ANY CRIME OR FELONY!

8. Philippine Jurisprudence is replete with examples that would readily show that Art. 287, Par. 2

of the Revised Penal Code has not been used to prosecute a well-defined or specific criminal act.
Instead, it was used as a "catch-all" provision to prosecute acts which are not expressly made

criminal by any other provision of the Revised Penal Code. This is anathema to criminal due

process that requires notice of what specific act or omission is punished by law;

9. An examination of the annals of our jurisprudence would likewise show that Art. 287, par. 2 of

the Revised Penal Code has not been used to punish a specific act:

a) In People v. Reyes, 60 Phil. 369, August 23, 1934, accused were found guilty of
unjust vexation by their act of disturbing or interrupting a ceremony of a religious
character;

b) In Lino v. Fugoso, 77 Phil. 983, January 30, 1947, it was used to prosecute the
accused of unjust vexation committed by stopping the jeep driven by the
complainant in a threatening attitude and without any just cause therefor and
telling him to stop driving for the City of Manila while the strike of city laborers was
still going on;

c) In People v. Reyes, 98 Phil. 646, March 23, 1956, it was held that the act of seizing,
taking and holding possession of passenger jeep belonging to complainant,
without the knowledge and consent of the latter, for the purpose of answering for
the debt of the said owner, constitutes unjust vexation;

d) In People v. Yanga, 100 Phil. 385, November 28, 1956, accused was convicted of
unjust vexation for the act of compelling the complainant to do something against
his will, by holding the latter around the neck and dragging him from the latter's
residence to the police outpost;
e) In People v. Abuy, G.R. No. L-17616, May 30, 1962, the accused was prosecuted for
unjust vexation for the act of embracing and taking hold of the wrist of the
complainant;

f) In People v. Carreon, G.R. No. L-17920, May 30, 1962, accused was convicted of
unjust vexation by the act of threatening the complainant by holding and pushing
his shoulder and uttering to the latter in a threatening tone the following words:
"What inspection did you make to my sister in the mountain when you are not
connected with the Bureau of Education?";

g) In People v. Gilo, G.R. No. L-18202, April 30, 1964, the Court held that the absence
of an allegation of "lewd design" in a complaint for acts of lasciviousness converts
the act into unjust vexation;

h) In Andal v. People of the Philippines, G.R. No. L-29814, March 28, 1969, accused
were found guilty of unjust vexation under an information charging them with the
offense of offending religious feelings, by the performance of acts notoriously
offensive to the feelings of the faithful;

i) In People v. Maravilla, G.R. No. L-47646, September 19, 1988, a accused was
convicted of unjust vexation for the act of grabbing the left breast of the
complainant against her will; and

j) Recently in Kwan v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 113006, November 23, 2000, the
act of abruptly cutting off the electric, water pipe and telephone lines of a business
establishment causing interruption of its business operations during peak hours
was held as unjust vexation;

1. From the above-cited cases, it clearly appears that Art. 287, par. 2 of the Revised Penal Code
does not punish a specific act. Instead, any and all kind of acts that are not specifically covered

by any other provision of the Revised Penal Code and which may cause annoyance, irritation,

vexation, torment, distress or disturbance to the mind of the person to whom it is directed may

be punished as unjust vexation;

ART. 287, PAR. 2 OF THE REVISED PENAL CODE SUFFERS FROM


A CONGENITAL DEFECT OF VAGUENESS AND MUST BE
STRICKEN DOWN

2. The term "unjust vexation" is a highly imprecise and relative term that has no common law

meaning or settled definition by prior judicial or administrative precedents; Thus, for its

vagueness and overbreadth, said provision violates due process in that it does not give fair

warning or sufficient notice of what it seeks to penalize;

3. This kind of challenge to the constitutionality of a penal statute on ground of vagueness and

overbreadth is not entirely novel in our jurisdiction. In an en banc decision in the case of

GONZALES v. COMELEC, G.R. No. L-27833, April 18, 1969, re: Constitutionality of Republic Act No.

4880, our Honorable Supreme Court had the occasion to rule that the terms "election campaign"

and "partisan political activity" which are punished in said R.A. 4880 would have been void for

their vagueness were it not for the express enumeration of the acts deemed included in the said

terms. The Supreme Court held:

"The limitation on the period of "election campaign" or "partisan


political activity" calls for a more intensive scrutiny. According to
Republic Act No. 4880: "It is unlawful for any person whether or not a
voter or candidate, or for any group or association of persons, whether
or not a political party or political committee, to engage in an election
campaign or partisan political activity except during the period of one
hundred twenty days immediately preceding an election involving a
public office voted for at large and ninety days immediately preceding
an election for any other elective public office. The term 'candidate'
refers to any person aspiring for or seeking an elective public office
regardless of whether or not said person has already filed his certificate
of candidacy or has been nominated by any political party as its
candidate. The term 'election campaign' of 'partisan political activity'
refers to acts designed to have a candidate elected or not or promote
the candidacy of a person or persons to a public office . . ."

"If that is all there is to that provision, it suffers from the fatal
constitutional infirmity of vagueness and may be stricken down. x x x"

xxx xxx xxx

"There are still constitutional questions of a serious character then to be


faced. The practices which the act identifies with "election campaign" or
"partisan political activity" must be such that they are free from the taint
of being violative of free speech, free press, freedom of assembly, and
freedom of association. What removes the sting from constitutional
objection of vagueness is the enumeration of the acts deemed included
in the terms "election campaign" or "partisan political activity."
(emphasis and underscoring ours)

4. Article 287, par. 2 of the Revised Penal Code punishes "unjust vexations" and that is all there is

to it! As such, applying the incontestable logic of the Supreme Court in said case of GONZALES

v. COMELEC would lead us to the inescapable conclusion that said penal provision suffers from

the fatal constitutional infirmity of vagueness and must be stricken down;

5. In the case of CONNALLY V. GENERAL CONSTRUCTION CO., 269 U.S. 385, cited by our own

Supreme Court en banc in the case of Ermita-Malate Hotel and Motel Operators Assn., Inc. v. City

Mayor of Manila, G.R. No. L-24693, July 31, 1967), the United States Supreme Court ruled:
"That the terms of a penal statute creating a new offense must be
sufficiently explicit to inform those who are subject to it what conduct
on their part will render them liable to its penalties is a well-recognized
requirement, consonant alike with ordinary notions of fair play and the
settled rules of law; and a statute which either forbids or requires the
doing of an act in terms so vague that men of common intelligence
must necessarily guess at its meaning and differ as to its application
violates the first essential of due process of law." (emphasis and
underscoring ours)

6. In fact, it is worst in the case of the 2nd Paragraph of Article 287 of the Revised Penal Code

because it punishes "unjust vexations" without even defining or enumerating the acts

constituting the said crime thus leaving men of common intelligence necessarily guessing at its

meaning and differing as to its application in complete disregard of constitutional due process;

7. Our Supreme Court in the case of U.S. v. NAG TANG HO, 43 Phil. 1, held that one cannot be

convicted of a violation of a law that fails to set up an ascertainable standard of guilt. Said ruling

cites the landmark case of U.S. v. L. COHEN GROCERY CO., 255 U.S. 81, where the United States

Supreme Court in striking down Section 4 of the Federal Food Control Act of August 10, 1917, as

amended, as unconstitutional, stated that:

"The sole remaining inquiry, therefore, is the certainty or uncertainty of


the text in question, that is, whether the words 'that it is hereby made
unlawful for any person willfully ... to make any unjust or unreasonable
rate or charge in handling or dealing in or with any necessaries,'
constituted a fixing by Congress of an ascertainable standard of guilt and
are adequate to inform persons accused of violation thereof of the
nature and cause of the accusation against them. That they are not, we
are of opinion, so clearly results from their mere statement as to render
elaboration on the subject wholly unnecessary. OBSERVE THAT THE
SECTION FORBIDS NO SPECIFIC OR DEFINITE ACT. It confines the subject
matter of the investigation which it authorizes to no element essentially
inhering in the transaction as to which it provides. It leaves open,
therefore, the widest conceivable inquiry, the scope of which no one can
foresee and the result of which no one can foreshadow or adequately
guard against. In fact, we see no reason to doubt the soundness of the
observation of the court below in its opinion to the effect that, to
attempt to enforce the section would be the exact equivalent of an
effort to carry out a statute which in terms merely penalized and
punished all acts detrimental to the public interest when unjust and
unreasonable in the estimation of the court x x x" (emphasis and
underscoring ours)

8. Recently, in COATES v. CITY OF CINCINNATI, 402 U.S. 611, the United States Supreme Court

passed upon the issue of constitutionality of a Cincinnati, Ohio, ordinance that provides that:

"It shall be unlawful for three or more persons to assemble, except at a


public meeting of citizens, on any of the sidewalks, street corners, vacant
lots, or mouths of alleys, and there conduct themselves in a manner
annoying to persons passing by, or occupants of adjacent buildings.
Whoever violates any of the provisions of this section shall be fined not
exceeding fifty dollars ($50.00), or be imprisoned not less than one (1)
nor more than thirty (30) days or both." Section 901-L6, Code of
Ordinances of the City of Cincinnati. (emphasis and underscoring ours)

9. In hammering down the constitutionality of the above-cited Cincinnati, Ohio ordinance in its

landmark decision, the United States Supreme Court held that:

"Conduct that annoys some people does not annoy others. Thus, the
ordinance is vague, not in the sense that it requires a person to conform
his conduct to an imprecise but comprehensible normative standard,
but rather in the sense that no standard of conduct is specified at all. As
a result, "men of common intelligence must necessarily guess at its
meaning." Connally v. General Construction Co., 269 U.S. 385, 391

"It is said that the ordinance is broad enough to encompass many types
of conduct clearly within the city's constitutional power to prohibit. And
so, indeed, it is. The city is free to prevent people from blocking
sidewalks, obstructing traffic, littering streets, committing assaults, or
engaging in countless other forms of antisocial conduct. It can do so
through the enactment and enforcement of ordinances directed with
reasonable specificity toward the conduct to be prohibited. It cannot
constitutionally do so through the enactment and enforcement of an
ordinance whose violation may entirely depend upon whether or not a
policeman is annoyed. " (emphasis and underscoring ours)

10. Same things can be said of Art. 287, par. 2 of the Revised Penal Code that punishes "unjust

vexations." As previously shown, the term "unjust vexations" is broad enough to encompass

many types of acts or conduct. But while these acts of types of conduct are within the State's

police power to prohibit and punish, it cannot however constitutionally do so when its violation

may entirely depend upon whether or not another is vexed or annoyed by said act or conduct

and whether or not said act or conduct is unjust is the estimation of the court;

ARTICLE 287, PAR. 2 OF THE REVISED PENAL CODE IS AN


INVALID DELEGATION OF THE LEGISLATIVE POWER TO DEFINE
WHAT ACTS SHOULD BE HELD TO BE CRIMINAL AND
PUNISHABLE

11. The failure of Art. 287, par. 2 of the Revised Penal Code to define or specify the act or omission

that it punishes likewise amounts to an invalid delegation by Congress of legislative power to the

courts to determine what acts should be held to be criminal and punishable; Potestas delegata

non delegare potest. What has been delegated cannot be delegated. This doctrine is based on

the ethical principle that such as delegated power constitutes not only a right but a duty to be

performed by the delegate through the instrumentality of his own judgment and not through the

intervening mind of another (United States v. Barrias, 11 Phil. 327, 330);

12. Congress alone has power to define crimes. This power as an attribute of sovereignty may not

be delegated to the courts. When a criminal legislation leaves the halls of Congress, it must be

complete in itself in that it must clearly define and specify the acts or omissions deemed
punishable; and when it reaches the courts, there must be nothing left for the latter to do, except

to determine whether person or persons indicted are guilty of committing the said acts or

omissions defined and made punishable by Congress. Otherwise, borrowing the immortal words

of Justice Isagani Cruz in Ynot v. Intermediate Appellate Court (148 SCRA 659), the law becomes

a "roving commission," a wide and sweeping authority that is not "canalized within banks that

keep it from overflowing," in short a clearly profligate and therefore invalid delegation of

legislative powers;

13. Art. 287, par. 2 of the Revised Penal Code fails to set an immutable and ascertainable standard

of guilt, but leaves such standard to the variant and changing views and notions of different

judges or courts which are called upon to enforce it. Instead of defining the specific acts or

omissions punished, it leaves to the courts the power to determine what acts or types of conduct

constitute "unjust vexation." Moreover, liability under the said provision is also made dependent

upon the varying degrees of sensibility and emotions of people. It depends upon whether or not

another is vexed or annoyed by said act or conduct. As previously intimated, one cannot be

convicted of a violation of a law that fails to set up an immutable and an ascertainable standard

of guilt.

CONCLUSION

14. In view of all the foregoing, Defendants submit that Art. 287, par. 2 of the Revised Penal Code

that punishes "unjust vexations" is unconstitutional on its face for its fatal failure to forbid a

specific or definite act or conduct resulting to its congenital vagueness and overbreadth which

are anathema to constitutional due process and the right to be informed of the nature of the
offense charged;

15. Moreover, by leaving it to the judiciary to determine the "justness" or "unjustness" of an act or

conduct that is not clearly defined or specified by law constitutes a fixing by Congress of an

unascertainable standard of guilt and therefore an invalid delegation, if not an abdication, of

legislative power;

16. Therefore, the conclusion is inevitable that Art. 287, par. 2 of the Revised Penal Code, being

facially unconstitutional, cannot be a basis of any criminal prosecution. As such, there is no

offense to speak of and consequently, this Honorable Court cannot acquire any jurisdiction

whatsoever to try the defendants of the charge of "unjust vexation."

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, it view of all the foregoing, it is most respectfully prayed that the information be

quashed, and defendants discharged.

Other relief just and equitable are likewise prayed for.

(Answer with Counterclaims)

(CAPTION)

ANSWER
WITH COUNTERCLAIMS

COMES NOW Defendant _____________, by counsel and unto this Honorable Court, most

respectfully states and avers that:

1. Defendant admits the allegations contained in paragraphs 1, 2, 4, and 5 of the Complaint;

2. Insofar as paragraphs 6 and 7 are concerned, the best evidence thereof are the actual stipulations

as set forth in Paragraph 7 of the Promissory Note and Paragraph 11 of the Deed of Chattel

Mortgage;
3. Defendant vehemently denies the allegations contained in paragraph 8 of the Complaint.

Defendant's mode of payment of her car loan with the Plaintiff Bank has always been by way of

auto-debit of her account with the same bank under Account No. _____________. To pay off her

monthly amortization, Defendant had continuously and religiously deposited the required

amounts on her said account since April 2002, which was in turn likewise religiously auto-debited

by the Plaintiff Bank from month to month;

4. To cover her monthly amortization for July 8, 2004, which was falsely alleged by the Plaintiff Bank

to have not been paid, Defendant deposited the amount of P24,000.00 to her said Account No.

_____________ so that it could be auto-debited by the Plaintiff Bank the following day when the

said amortization for July 2004 became due. Machine copy of deposit slip dated July 7, 2004 in

the amount of P24,000.00 is hereto attached as Annex "1" and made an integral part of this

Answer;

5. To cover her monthly amortizations after July 2004, Defendant likewise continued to make

deposits in her above-said account as follows: P24,000.00 on August 4, 2004; P24,000.00 on

September 3, 2004; and another P24,000.00 on October 5, 2004. The said continuous deposits of

P24,000.00 monthly from July to October, 2004 were more than enough to cover her alleged

default of four (4) months. Machine copies of Defendants deposit slips for the months of August

to October, 2004 are hereto attached as Annexes "1-A" to "1-C" and made integral parts of this

Answer;

6. Sometime in July 2004, the attention of the Defendant was called by the bank that she had not

paid her due for July 2004 which she thought was impossible considering that she had always

been paying by way of auto-debit and she had not failed to deposit the required amount in her

account;
7. Defendant immediately visited Plaintiff's branch and it was alleged that she had not signed an

auto-debit agreement with the bank, which was ridiculous considering that the bank had made

auto-debits on her account from April 2002 through June 2004. Nonetheless, to ensure that she

would not be in default in the payment of her loan amortization, she paid the amortizations for

July to October, 2004 over the counter in the presence of Plaintiff's Branch Manager

_____________. Machine copies of Defendant's Loan Payment Slips: P13,357.53 on July 9, 2004,

P13,357.53 on August 9, 2004, P13,357.53 on September 10, 2004, and P13,357.53 on October 8,

2004 are hereto attached as Annexes "2-A" to "2-D", respectively and made integral parts of this

Answer;

8. Defendant's admits the receipt of Plaintiff's demand letter dated October 29, 2004 mentioned in

paragraph 9 of the Complaint but vehemently denies the rest of the allegations contained therein,

especially Plaintiff's malicious denial of Defendant's payments for the months of July to October

2004;

9. Upon receipt of the said demand letter, Defendant immediately visited the Plaintiff's branch to

complain about the said demand letter and to pay her amortization for November 2004 over-the-

counter. However, the said payment was refused by the Plaintiff Bank which insisted on the

payment of the full amount of P289,229.84 as claimed in its demand letter and falsely claiming

that Defendant defaulted in payment of her amortization for four (4) months, i.e., from July to

October 2004. As such, Defendant there and then requested and demanded for a print-out of her

statement of account and summary of all payments made but the same could not be produced

by the Plaintiff Bank and she was even arrogantly told to make her request through their Manila

office;
10. Considering that Defendant has not defaulted in the payment of her amortizations as previously

intimated, there is therefore no factual and legal basis for the Plaintiff's claims and allegations set

forth in paragraphs 10, 11 and 12 of the Complaint as well as for the issuance of a Writ of Replevin

for the seizure of the subject motor vehicle from the Defendant;

11. The allegation contained in paragraph 13 (b) of the Complaint as to the actual value of the subject

motor vehicle as only approximately P290,000.00 is specifically denied. The subject motor vehicle

is well maintained and is in good condition and as such it still has an actual market value of

approximately P500,000.00 and therefore, Plaintiff's Replevin Bond of only P580,000.00 should

be cancelled and nullified for being grossly insufficient and deficient;

AS COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIMS

12. Defendant hereby restates and repleads all the allegations in the preceding paragraphs by way of

reference and incorporation;

13. As a consequence of the malicious and wrongful filing of this entirely baseless and unjustified

action, Plaintiff should be made liable to pay Defendant in the amount of

__________________________ (P_____________) per day, by way of compensatory damages,

starting on December 16, 2004 when the Defendant had been unjustifiably deprived of the

possession, use and enjoyment of the subject vehicle, until actual possession of the subject

vehicle is restored to the Defendant;

14. As a consequence of the malicious and wrongful filing of this entirely baseless and unjustified

action, which is attended by extreme bad faith, lies and deception, denial of payments made, and

the unjustified seizure of the subject motor vehicle from the Defendant, the latter and her family

had suffered sleepless nights, mental anguish, serious anxiety, severe stress, wounded feelings,
besmirched reputation and social humiliation for which Plaintiff should be made liable for moral

damages in the total amount of __________________________ (P_____________);

15. In instituting this unwarranted and clearly unfounded suit against the Defendant, Plaintiff had

acted in a wanton, fraudulent, reckless and malevolent manner and, by way of example or

correction for the public good, Plaintiff should be made liable to pay Defendant exemplary

damages in the total amount of __________________________ (P_____________);

16. As a further consequence of the malicious and wrongful filing of the present action, Defendant

was constrained to hire the services of counsel for a legal fee of __________________________

(P_____________), plus __________________________ (P_____________) per court

appearance, and to incur expenses of litigation for which plaintiff should be made to pay.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, it is most respectfully prayed that after hearing on the

merits, this Honorable Court issue an Order:

1. Dismissing the Complaint in toto for utter lack of merit;

2. Ordering the immediate re-delivery of the subject motor vehicle to the Defendant

and/or to pay Defendant its actual market value at the time of dispossession should

actual delivery be no longer possible, plus interest at the rate of five (5%) per month

until the said amount is fully paid;

3. Granting compensatory damages to the defendant in the amount of

__________________________ (P_____________) per day starting December 16,


2004, until actual possession of the subject motor vehicle is restored to the Defendant

or its actual market value is fully paid with interest;

4. Granting moral damages in favor of the Defendant in the amount of

__________________________ (P_____________);

5. Granting exemplary damages in favor of the Defendant in the amount of

__________________________ (P_____________);

6. Granting defendant's claim for attorney's fees in the amount of

__________________________ (P_____________) plus

__________________________ (P_____________) per court appearance, and the

amount of litigation expenses as may be proved during trial.

Other reliefs just and equitable under the premises are likewise prayed for.

injustice and causing damage to the latter;


13. Plaintiff is entitled to the reliefs demanded, and the whole or part of such relief consists in

11. Plaintiff is entitled to the immediate possession of the mortgaged motor vehicle described above,

which Defendants are wrongfully detaining for the purpose of defeating plaintiff's mortgage lien

12. That the property has not been distrained or taken for a tax assessment or a fine pursuant to law, or

seized under a writ of executed or preliminary attachment, or otherwise placed under custodia legis,

or if so seized, that it is exempt from such seizure or custody;

13. That the estimated actual market value of the said motor vehicle is P_____________;

14. Plaintiff is ready, willing and able to put up a good and solvent bond of double the actual market value

of the above-described motor vehicle conditioned on the return of the same to the Defendants if such

afore-described chattel / motor vehicle, complete with all its accessories and equipments,

together with the Registration Certificate thereof, with authority to break open and enter any

premises where the same may be found and to direct the manual delivery thereof to the plaintiff

in accordance with law for purposes of foreclosure, and after due hearing, to confirm the said

seizure and delivery to plaintiff;

b) Or, in the event that manual delivery of the said motor vehicle cannot be effected, to render

judgment in favor of the plaintiff against the Defendants, ordering them to pay plaintiff jointly

and severally the principal sum of P_____________, plus liquidated damages, penalties, and

interests until fully paid;

c) In either case, to order Defendants to pay Plaintiff the sum of _____________ (_____%) percent

of the total amount due as Attorney's Fees, and to reimburse plaintiff its expenses for getting a

PETITION

COMES NOW Petitioner _____________, by counsel and unto this Honorable Court of Appeals,

most respectfully aver:

Prefatory Statement

1. This is a Petition for Certiorari to annul the Orders dated 14 May 2002 and 21 January 2002 of the

Public Respondent Presiding Judge of the Regional Trial Court, Branch _____, _____________ City in

Civil Case No. _____________ entitled "_____________ and _____________, Plaintiffs, versus

_____________ and _____________, Defendants";

2. Certified true copies of the said orders are attached to the original of this Petition as Annexes "A" and

"B";

3. The first Order dated 21 January 2002 (Annex "B") denied Petitioner's Motion to Dismiss the

Complaint in the aforementioned civil case, while the second Order dated 14 May 2002 (Annex "A")

denied petitioner's Motion for Reconsideration of the Order dated 21 January 2002;

4. The second Order (Annex "A") denying petitioner's Motion for Reconsideration was received by

petitioner on 22 May 2002;


THE PARTIES

5. Petitioner _____________ is a domestic corporation duly organized and existing under and by virtue

of the laws of the Republic of the Philippines with principal office at _____________, Philippines. For

purposes of this action, Plaintiff may be served with notices and other court processes through the office

address of the undersigned counsel;

6. Public Respondent JUDGE _____________ is being impleaded in his official capacity as the Presiding

Judge of Regional Trial Court, Branch _____, _____________ City and may be served with any notice

or order of this Honorable Court at the Hall of Justice Building, _____________ City, Philippines;

7. Private Respondents _____________ and _____________ are both Filipino citizens, of legal ages, and

residents of _____________. They may be served with notices and orders of this Honorable Court

through their counsel of record, _____________, with office address at _____________;

THE FACTS

8. On 02 May 2001, Private Respondents filed a Complaint for Collection with Preliminary Attachment

impleading the Petitioner and _____________ as defendants. Said complaint was docketed as Civil

Case No. _____________ and was raffled to the sala of the herein Public Respondent Judge. A copy

of the said Complaint is hereto attached as Annex "C";

9. The Public Respondent then issued Summons dated 08 May 2001 for the Petitioner and

_____________ to file their respective Answers within fifteen (15) days from service thereof;

10. That on 07 September 2001, Sheriff IV _____________ executed a Return of Service of Summons

stating in part that:


"That on August 29, 2001, undersigned served copies of Summons and Complaint
together with its corresponding Annexes, and likewise, copies of Writ of Attachment
dated July 12, 2001 together with copy of the bond and Order of the Court dated July 12,
2001 to defendants, _____________ and _____________, through Maria Clara
(authorized personnel of _____________ who alleged that said corporation has no
appointed secretary and for that matter she is tasked to received summons and all legal
processes and other related communications for the corporation and for _____________
who also according to her was out for Iloilo at the time of service) received both copies
for the defendants at the office at _____________ on even date, August 29, 2001 at 3:00
p.m. as shown by her signatures appearing on said summons and writ x x x." (underscoring
ours)

11. Machine copy of the said Return of Service of Summons is attached hereto as Annex "D";

12. That said Maria Clara has neither been authorized nor tasked by the Petitioner Corporation to receive

summons nor any processes or related communications in its behalf;

13. That since under Section 11, Rule 14 of the Rules of Court (1997 Revised Rules of Civil Procedure) said

Maria Clara is not one of those persons upon whom service of summons upon a domestic corporation

of juridical entity may be made, on 18 December 2001, Petitioner Corporation entered its special

appearance only for the purpose of filing a Motion to Dismiss on the ground that the Honorable Court

has no jurisdiction over the person of the defending party (herein Petitioner Corporation). Machine

copy of the said Motion to Dismiss is hereto attached as Annex "E" and made an integral part of this

Petition;

14. On 21 January 2002, the Public Respondent issued an Order (Annex "B") denying Petitioner's Motion

to Dismiss mainly relying on the case of Vlason Enterprises Corporation vs. Court of Appeals, G.R. Nos.

121662-64, July 6, 1999 stating that:

"A corporation may be served summons through its agents or officers who under
the Rules are designated to accept service of process. A summons addressed to
a corporation and served on the secretary of its president binds that corporation.
This is based on the rationale that service must be made on a representative so
integrated with the corporation sued, that it is safe to assume that said
representative had sufficient responsibility and discretion to realize the
importance of the legal papers served and to relay the same to the president or
other responsible officer of the corporation being sued."

15. The Honorable Public Respondent likewise ruled in the said Order that "the fact that the corporation

(herein Petitioner) filed its answer to the complaint is a clear indication that the summons and

complaint were relayed to the president of the corporation by the authorized representative."

16. Said answer, however, which the Honorable Public Respondent Judge considered as Answer for the

herein Petitioner was actually filed by the legal counsel of Petitioner's co-defendant _____________

without the knowledge of nor authority from the herein Petitioner Corporation; Machine copy of the

said Answer filed on 01 October 2001 by a certain Atty. _____________ is hereto attached as Annex

"E";

17. On 26 February 2002, Petitioner filed a "Motion for Reconsideration" of the said Order arguing that:

(I) the reliance of the Honorable Public Respondent in the case of Vlason Enterprises Corporation vs.

Court of Appeals is misplaced; (II) that service of summons upon a juridical person is strictly construed;

and (III) that the Answer filed by its co-defendant _____________ does not bind the Petitioner

Corporation. Machine copy of the said Motion for Reconsideration is hereto attached as Annex "F"

and made an integral part of this Petition;

18. On 22 May 2002, Petitioner Corporation received the Order dated 14 May 2002 (Annex "A") from the

Honorable Public Respondent denying Petitioner's Motion for Reconsideration;

19. That from the said Order there is no appeal, nor any plain, speedy, and adequate remedy in the

ordinary course of law, hence this Petition.


GROUND RELIED UPON

THE HONORABLE PUBLIC RESPONDENT JUDGE HAS ACTED WITH


GRAVE ABUSE OF DISCRETION AMOUNTING TO LACK OR EXCESS OF
JURISDICTION IN DENYING PETITIONER'S MOTIONS TO DISMISS AND
FOR RECONSIDERATION, DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE TRIAL COURT
DID NOT ACQUIRE JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF THE
PETITIONER BECAUSE OF IMPROPER SERVICE OF SUMMONS.

DISCUSSION

STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE MODE OF SERVICE OF


SUMMONS IS NECESSARY TO CONFER JURISDICTION OF
THE COURT OVER A CORPORATION. THE OFFICER UPON
WHOM SERVICE IS MADE MUST BE ONE WHO IS NAMED IN
THE STATUTE; OTHERWISE THE SERVICE IS INSUFFICIENT
AND THE COURT CANNOT ACQUIRE JURISDICTION OVER
THE PERSON OF THE DEFENDANT CORPORATION.

20. Section 11, Rule 14 of the Rules of Court (1997 Revised Rules of Civil Procedure) provides that:

"When the defendant is a corporation, partnership or association organized


under the laws of the Philippines with a juridical personality, service may be
made on the president, managing partner, general manager, corporate
secretary, treasurer, or in-house counsel." (underscoring supplied)

21. This provision revised the former Section 13, Rule 14 of the Rules of Court which provided that:

"If the defendant is a corporation organized under the laws of the Philippines
or a partnership duly registered, service may be made on the president,
manager, secretary, cashier, agent, or any of its directors."

22. In the case of E.B. VILLAROSA & PARTNER CO., LTD. vs. HON. HERMINIO I. BENITO, et al., G.R. No.

136426, August 6, 1999, the Honorable Supreme Court had the occasion to pass upon the construction
and interpretation of the requirements of the new rule on service of summons upon a corporation

and stated among others, the following, to wit:

"Petitioner contends that the enumeration of persons to whom


summons may be served is "restricted, limited and exclusive" following the
rule on statutory construction expressio unios est exclusio alterius and
argues that if the Rules of Court Revision Committee intended to liberalize
the rule on service of summons, it could have easily done so by clear and
concise language.

"We agree with petitioner." (emphasis ours)

23. The Honorable Supreme Court continued as follows:

"The designation of persons or officers who are authorized to accept


summons for a domestic corporation or partnership is now limited and
more clearly specified in Section 11, Rule 14 of the 1997 Rules of Civil
Procedure. The rule now states "general manager" instead of only
"manager"; "corporate secretary" instead of "secretary"; and "treasurer"
instead of "cashier." The phrase "agent, or any of its directors" is
conspicuously deleted in the new rule." (emphasis ours)

24. In addition thereto, the Supreme Court likewise cited with approval the comment of the distinguished

Retired Justice Oscar Herrera, a consultant of the Rules of Court Revision Committee, from page 147

of his book on Remedial Law, Vol. VII, 1997 Edition, where he stated that:

"The rule must be strictly observed. Service must be made to one named
in (the) statute . . ." (emphasis ours)

25. Previously, in the case of SOLAR TEAM ENTERTAINMENT, INC. vs. HON. HELEN BAUTISTA RICAFORT,

et al., G.R. No. 132007, August 5, 1998, the Honorable Supreme Court already had the occasion to
rule that "for the guidance of the Bench and Bar, strictest compliance with Section 11 of Rule 13 is

mandated one month from promulgation of this Decision."

26. In the E.B. VILLAROSA case, the Supreme Court again reiterated this rule on strict compliance with the

requirements on service of summons stating that:

"… for the guidance of the Bench and Bar, "strictest" compliance with
Section 11 of Rule 13 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure (on Priorities in
modes of service and filing) is mandated and the Court cannot rule
otherwise, lest we allow circumvention of the innovation by the 1997 Rules
in order to obviate delay in the administration of justice." (Emphasis and
Underscoring Supplied)

27. It is therefore beyond pale that strict compliance with the mode of service is necessary to confer

jurisdiction of the court over a corporation or in the case at bar, over the Petitioner _____________,

Inc. The officer upon whom service is made must be one who is named in the statute; otherwise the

service is insufficient to confer jurisdiction over the person of the defendant as in the case where the

service of summons was made allegedly upon an authorized representative.

28. In the present case, a cursory reading of the Sheriff's Return of Service (Annex "____") would readily

show that the copy of the Summons dated 08 May 2001 together with the Complaint and its

corresponding annexes was allegedly delivered and tendered upon the Petitioner Corporation

through a certain Maria Clara, who is alleged to be the authorized personnel of the herein Petitioner

Corporation;

29. However, Petitioner Corporation has never authorized said Maria Clara to receive summons or any

correspondence or paper addressed to the Petitioner Corporation. Moreover, said Maria Clara, who

is not connected in any way with the Petitioner Corporation, is not one of those enumerated in Section
11, Rule 14 of the 1997 Revised Rules of Civil Procedure upon whom service of summons on a

domestic corporation may be made.

30. As such, the supposed service of summons on the herein Petitioner Corporation was manifestly

improper; consequently, the trial court did not acquire jurisdiction over the person of the Petitioner

Corporation;

31. Reliance of the Public Respondent Judge on the jurisprudence elucidated in the case of Vlason

Enterprises Corporation vs. Court of Appeals (310 SCRA 26, G.R. Nos. 121662-64, July 6, 1999) in

denying Petitioner's Motion to Dismiss is misplaced because the service of summons in the said case

was done on 18 January 1990, long before the effectivity of the 1997 Revised Rules on Civil Procedure

on 01 July 1997. In fact, a good seven (7) years before the effectivity of the 1997 Revised Rules on Civil

Procedure making the reliance on such said case clearly inappropriate;

THE ANSWER FILED BY CO-DEFENDANT _____________


THROUGH HIS LEGAL COUNSEL ATTY. _____________
DOES NOT BIND THE HEREIN PETITIONER CORPORATION
FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT THE PETITIONER HAS
NEVER AUTHORIZED _____________ OR HIS LEGAL
COUNSEL ATTY. _____________ TO FILE AN ANSWER OR
ANY MOTION, PLEADING OR OTHER PAPER IN ITS BEHALF.
FURTHERMORE, SAID ANSWER WAS FILED WITHOUT THE
KNOWLEDGE, CONSENT OR AUTHORITY FROM THE
PETITIONER.

32. In the challenged Orders, the Honorable Public Respondent considered the Answer and other Motions

filed by the Petitioner's co-defendant _____________ through his legal counsel, Atty.

_____________, as equivalent to voluntary submission to the jurisdiction of the court, which cures

whatever defect in the service of summons;


33. Petitioner, however, vehemently disagrees for the reason that co-defendant _____________ and his

legal counsel Atty. _____________ were not and never authorized file an Answer or any pleading or

motion for and in behalf of the Petitioner Corporation; In fact, _____________ stated in paragraph 3

of the said Answer, and we quote:

"3. Defendants specifically deny that defendant _____________ is the


General Manager and a very responsible officer of _____________ as
alleged in the second paragraph of item 2, the truth being that
_____________ is neither an officer nor a stockholder of _____________
(herein Petitioner _____________ Inc.) as of the filing of this Answer;"
(Emphasis and Underscoring Supplied)

34. In fact, the undersigned counsel for the Petitioner has specifically challenged the engagement of Atty.

_____________ to act for and in behalf of the corporation. Undersigned counsel has specifically

placed on record during the 20 February 2002 hearing before the Honorable Public Respondent that

the engagement of Atty. _____________ to represent Petitioner Corporation has no proper authority

from the Petitioner Corporation. Copy of the said Order dated February 20, 2002 of the Honorable

Public Respondent is hereto attached as Annex "_____" while a certified true copy thereof is attached

to the original of this Petition;

35. That in answer to the said challenge to his authority to represent the herein Petitioner Corporation as

defendant in the Civil Case No. _____________, Atty. _____________ merely manifested, as stated

in the same 20 February 2002 Order (Annex "___"), that:

"when he (Atty. _____________) was engaged by individual defendant


_____________, his engagement was also to represent the corporate
defendant _____________, Inc. (herein Petitioner) since individual
_____________ was then past President of the said corporation."
36. Such manifestation clearly shows that no authority was given to either co-defendant _____________

or his legal counsel Atty. _____________ to file any Answer, Motion or any pleading for and in behalf

of herein Petitioner Corporation. Obviously, being a mere Past President of the Petitioner Corporation

did not give co-defendant _____________ an authority to engage the services of Atty. _____________

to file an Answer, motions or pleadings for and in behalf of the herein Petitioner Corporation;

37. Notwithstanding said challenge to the authority of Atty. _____________ to represent the herein

Petitioner as co-defendant in Civil Case No. _____________, the Honorable Public Respondent Judge

merely sought refuge on the principle that "an attorney is presumed to be properly authorized to

represent an cause in which he appears, and no written power of attorney is required to authorize

him to appear in court for his client," which is based on Section 21 of Rule 138 of the Rules of Court;

38. The Honorable Supreme Court, however, has time and again clarified that the presumption

established under the provision of Section 21, Rule 138 of the Revised Rules of Court is disputable.

(See Commissioner of Customs vs. K.M.K. Gani, Indrapal & Co., G.R. No. 73722, February 26, 1990;

Azotes vs. Blanco, 78 Phil. 739; Garostiaga vs. Sarte, 68 Phil. 4; Tan Lua vs. O'Brien, 55 Phil. 53);

39. In the case of NEW YORK MARINE MANAGERS, INC., vs. COURT OF APPEALS, et al. (G.R. No. 111837,

October 24, 1995), the Honorable Supreme Court held that:

"True, a lawyer is generally presumed to be properly authorized to represent


any cause in which he appears, and no written power of attorney is required
to authorize him to appear in court for his client. But this presumption is
disputable. Where said authority has been challenged or attacked by the
adverse party the lawyer is required to show proof of such authority or
representation in order to bind his client. The requirement of the
production of authority is essential because the client will be bound by his
acquiescence resulting from his knowledge that he was being represented
by said attorney." (Emphasis and Underscoring Supplied)
40. Moreover, if Petitioner will be bound by the Answer filed by Atty. _____________ for co-defendant

_____________, then the herein Petitioner Corporation will effectively lose its right to file a Cross-

Claim against _____________;

41. In view thereof, the Answer filed by Defendant _____________, through his legal counsel Atty.

_____________, could not be and could never be considered as an Answer for the Petitioner

Corporation. Thus, Petitioner Corporation could not be deemed to have submitted itself to the

jurisdiction of the trial court;

42. As such, the Honorable Public Respondent Judge _____________ gravely abused his discretion

tantamount to lack or excess of jurisdiction when it considered the Answer and other motions filed

by _____________, through his legal counsel Atty. _____________, as equivalent to voluntary

submission on the part of the herein Petitioner Corporation to the jurisdiction of the trial court

president by the Honorable Public Respondent Judge.

43. That from the said challenged Orders, there is no appeal, nor any plain, speedy, and adequate remedy

in the ordinary course of law.

2. Petitioner was born on _____________ in the City of _____________ as the daughter of Mr. Juan

3. However, when petitioner's birth was registered with the Office of the Civil Registrar of

_____________ City on July 12, 1952, the data for registration were supplied only by the

attending physician, Dr. _____________, who was also the signatory of Petitioner's Birth

Certificate, thus causing three inadvertent and unintentional ERRORS, to wit:

A. Petitioner's first name was registered as "BABYGIRL CRUZ" because at the time

Petitioner's birth was registered by the afore-named attending physician, Petitioner's

parents were still undecided about what name they would give to Petitioner or that they

failed to communicate the name they have given to the Petitioner to the said attending

physician;

B. Instead of female, petitioner's Sex or Gender was inadvertently registered as "MALE";

and
C. Lastly, Petitioner's mother's name was recorded as "Magdalena Quijano-Cruz" instead

of "Magdalena Pilapil-Cruz";

1. The intended First or Given Name of the Petitioner is "MARIA" and not "BABYGIRL". Petitioner

3. Lastly, as to her mother's name, what was registered was "Magdalena Quijano-Cruz".

Petitioner's mother's maiden name was "Magdalena Quijano Pilapil", i.e., before her marriage

to Petitioner's father, and after her marriage to the latter, it became "Magdalena Pilapil-Cruz".

As such, the entry on Petitioner's Mother's Name recorded in the Civil Registry and appearing on

her Birth Certificate is wrong and must be corrected to "Magdalena Pilapil-Cruz" to reflect

Petitioner's true mother's name;

1. Petitioner is of legal age, Filipino, (single / married / widow), and a resident of _____________,

Philippines. For purposes of this Petition, Petitioner may be reached by court processes thru the

office address of its undersigned counsel;

2. Petitioner is the registered owner of a parcel of land and all improvements thereon situated at

_____________ and within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, currently covered by Transfer

Certificate of Title No. _____________ in Petitioner's name, and more particularly described as

follows:

(Technical Description of Property)

Machine copy of Transfer Certificate of Title No. _____________ is attached hereto as Annex "A";

3. Petitioner has acquired the above-described parcel of land by purchase at the foreclosure sale

held in accordance with Act 3135, as amended. Machine copy of the Certificate of Sale dated
_____________ issued by the Office of the Provincial Sheriff of _____________ is attached hereto

as Annex "B";

4. For failure of the previous owner of the property, __Name of Previous Owner__, to redeem the

said property within the legal period of redemption, Petitioner consolidated its title to the

property. Machine copy of the Affidavit of Consolidation dated _____________ is attached hereto

as Annex "C";

5. However, despite the consolidation and transfer of title in Petitioner's name, the previous owner,

and other persons authorized by the latter continued to possess the said subject property and

refused, refuse and continue to refuse to vacate the same despite repeated demands;

6. That in view of their continued refusal to surrender the possession of the subject property,

Petitioner sent a formal demand letter to the said __Name of Previous Owner__ dated

_____________, which was personally received by (him/her) on _____________, giving (him/her)

_____________ (_____) days to vacate the subject property. Machine copy of the said demand

letter is attached hereto as Annex "D";

7. To date, the said __Name of Previous Owner__ and/or the persons authorized by (him/her) failed

and refused and still fail and refuse to vacate the said property, for which reason, Petitioner was

constrained to file the instant Petition;

8. As purchaser at the foreclosure sale, and now the registered owner of the subject property in fee

simple, the Petitioner is entitled to possess the subject property and to the issuance of a Writ of

Possession in accordance with Sec. 7 of Act. 3135, as amended. The Honorable Supreme Court

held in the case of Malonzo vs. Mariano, G.R. No. L-53998, May 31, 1989, that:

"Section 7 of Act 3135, as amended by Act 4118, grants to the purchaser at


an extra-judicial foreclosure sale, an absolute right to possession of the
property sold during the one-year period of redemption and a fortiori after
the lapse of said period without any redemption being made. Possession
may be obtained under a writ which may be applied for ex parte."
(underscoring supplied)

9. Moreover, considering that the period of legal redemption has already expired and title has

already been consolidated in the name of the Petitioner, there is no need of filing a bond in

accordance with the ruling of Supreme Court in the case of Navarra vs. Court of Appeals, G.R. No.

86237, December 17, 1991, to wit:

"The purchaser at an extra-judicial foreclosure sale has a right to the


possession of the property even during the one-year period of redemption
provided he files an indemnity bond. After the lapse of the said period with
no redemption having been made, that right becomes absolute and may be
demanded by the buyer even without the posting of a bond. Possession may
then be obtained under a writ which may be applied for ex parte pursuant
to Section 7, of Act 3135 as amended by Act 4118." (underscoring and
emphasis supplied)

10. The issuance of a Writ of Possession is summary in nature and is a ministerial act on the part of

this Honorable Court (Angeles vs. Intermediate Appellate Court, G.R. No. 75009, September 29,

1989; Vda. de Jacob vs. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 88602, April 6, 1990; Vaca vs. Court of Appeals,

G.R. No. 109672, July 14, 1994).

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, it is most respectfully prayed that after summary proceedings, a Writ of Possession

be immediately issued ordering the Provincial Sheriff of _____________ to place the Petitioner in the

possession of the above-described parcel of land with all the improvements found and standing thereon,

pursuant to Section 7 of Act 3135, as amended.

(CAPTION)

MOTION FOR BILL OF PARTICULARS

Defendant, through the undersigned counsel and unto this Honorable Court, respectfully

avers:

1. That the plaintiff's complaint in paragraph 5 alleges:

"From August 3 to December 2003, defendant never paid


anything to herein plaintiff. The check that he issued as partial
payment for the first month also bounced. x x x";
(underscoring supplied)

2. The said allegation is not averred with sufficient definiteness and particularity, specifically

it does not mention the amount of the check therein mentioned, its check number, date, and

the drawee bank;

3. That a more definite statement on the matters as above-indicated is necessary in order to

enable the defendant to prepare its responsive pleading because from the very onset of this

controversy, the main dispute was on what was actually and exactly agreed upon by the

parties as the amount of monthly rentals on the lease of plaintiff's property;

4. However, due to the fact that defendant corporation had to transfer its liaison offices

depending on its project sites, the check stub where the above-mentioned check came from

was probably misplaced and could no longer be found;


5. That a bill of particulars or a more definite statement as to particulars of the said check

which was allegedly issued by the defendants as partial payment for the first month would

definitely simplify the issues in this case, and hopefully uncomplicate the negotiations

between the parties for an amicable settlement.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, defendant most respectfully prays that an order be issued by this

Honorable Court requiring the plaintiff to make more definite statement as to the particulars of the

check mentioned in paragraph 5 of his complaint, particularly stating its amount, check number,

date, and the name of the drawee bank.

(Motion to Dismiss)

(CAPTION)
MOTION TO DISMISS

COMES NOW the Respondent, _____________ Inc., through the undersigned counsel, appearing

especially and solely for this purpose, and to this Honorable Court, most respectfully moves for the

dismissal of the Complaint on the following ground that THE HONORABLE COURT HAS NOT ACQUIRED

JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF THE DEFENDING PARTY.

DISCUSSION

1. A cursory reading of the Summons and Return of Service would readily show that the copies of the

Summons dated 08 May 2001 and the Complaint and its corresponding annexes were allegedly

delivered and tendered upon the Movant _____________ INC. through a certain Maria Clara alleged

to be the authorized personnel of Movant _____________ INC., Bacolod City on 29 August 2001.

Copies of the said Summons and Return of Service that form part of the records on the case are hereto

pleaded as integral part of this Motion;

2. Said service of Summons, however, constitutes an improper service of summons amounting to lack of

jurisdiction over the person of the herein Movant Corporation _____________ INC. since the

summons was improperly served upon a person who is not one of those persons named or

enumerated in Section 11, Rule 14 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure upon whom service of summons

shall be made;

3. The material provision on the service of summons provided for in Section 11 of Rule 14 of the 1997

Rules of Civil Procedure reads as follows:

"Section 11. Service upon domestic private juridical entity.- When the
defendant is a corporation, partnership or association organized under
the laws of the Philippines with a juridical personality, service may be
made on the president, managing partner, general manager,
corporate secretary, treasurer, or in-house counsel;" (underscoring
ours)

4. It bears no further emphasis that the service of the summons was done on a person who is not

included in the exclusive enumeration provided for under the said Section, as service was done only

on an alleged authorized personnel of the Movant Corporation;

5. This new revision of the Rules of Court for the service of summon is a clear departure from the old

rule as stated in Section 13, Rule 14 of the Rules of Court which provided that:

"SECTION 13. Service upon private domestic corporation or


partnership. - If the defendant is a corporation organized under the
laws of the Philippines or a partnership duly registered, service may be
made on the president, manager, secretary, cashier, agent, or any of
its directors."

6. It must be equally noted that the changes in the new rules are substantial and not just general

semantics as the new rules restricted the service of summons on persons clearly enumerated therein.

In effect, the new provision makes it more specific and clear such that in the case of the word

"manager", it was made more precise and changed to "general manager", "secretary" to "corporate

secretary", and excluding therefrom agent and director;

7. The designation of persons or officers who are authorized to accept summons for a domestic

corporation or partnership is under the new rules, limited and more clearly specified, departure from

which is fatal to the validity of the service of the summons and resulting in the failure of the court to

acquire jurisdiction over the person of the respondent corporation.

PRAYER
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that the Complaint with respect to the Movant Corporation

be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction over the person of the defendant.

Other reliefs just and equitable are likewise prayed for.

MOTION TO WITHDRAW

COMES NOW, the undersigned counsel, unto the Honorable Court, most respectfully states:
1. That the undersigned counsel has already terminated his attorney-client relationship with the

Defendant _____________, particularly because of the latter's deliberate failure to pay the fees

for the undersigned's legal services despite repeated requests for payment and repeated

promises to pay, in violation of the Defendant's Retainer Contract with the undersigned counsel;

2. That the statement of accounts of the undersigned counsel merely fell on deaf ears and not a

single centavo was paid to this date by the said Defendant contrary to all its representations;

3. That the undersigned counsel's previous request for said Defendant to give consent and

conformity to the undersigned counsel's Motion for Withdrawal was never acted upon to this

date;

4. That in view of the foregoing reasons, the undersigned counsel could no longer adequately fulfill

his obligations as legal counsel for the said Defendant;

5. That Rule 22.01 par. (f) of the Code of Professional Responsibility states that a lawyer may

withdraw his services when the client deliberately fails to pay the fees for the services or fails to

comply with the retainer agreement;

6. That there is a need to protect the members of the legal profession from clients who take

advantages of their professional services. In fact, the Honorable Supreme Court had the occasion

to state that:

"Counsel, any counsel, if worthy of his hire, is entitled to be fully recompensed for
his services. With his capital consisting solely of his brains and with his skill,
acquired at tremendous cost not only in money but in the expenditure of time and
energy, he is entitled to the protection of any judicial tribunal against any attempt
on the part of the client to escape payment of his fees. It is indeed ironic if after
putting forth the best that is in him to secure justice for the party he represents,
he himself would not get his due. Such an eventuality this Court is determined to
avoid. It views with disapproval any and every effort of those benefited by counsel's
services to deprive him of his hard-earned honorarium. Such an attitude deserves
condemnation." (Albano vs. Coloma, 21 SCRA 411)

7. As such, undersigned most respectfully requests that he be allowed by this Honorable Court to

withdraw his appearance in this case as Counsel for the Defendant _____________ WITHOUT THE

LATTER'S EXPRESS CONFORMITY.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, undersigned counsel most respectfully prays that he be

allowed to withdraw his appearance in this case as counsel for the Defendant _____________, dispensing
