Section 1
On July 17, 1975: The contract had already expired; new lawyer wrote to
Roman Catholic formally requesting to proceed with payment as follows:
o Pay the balance of P100,000 in 3 equal installments of 6 months
each
o First installment + accrued interest of P24,000 will be paid upon
approval of said request
Roman Catholic denied the request, but granted a grace period of 5 days
from the receipt of the denial within which to complete the payment of
P124,000. Otherwise, the stipulation on cancellation, etc., will be implemented.
Atty. Francisco wrote another letter directly to petitioner for the alleged refusal
to accept the tender of payment made on the last day of the grace period.
o Also demanded for the execution of a Deed of Absolute Sale over the
land
Atty. Fernandez denied the request; denied the tender of payment; cancelled
the contract and considered all previous payments forfeited and the land
ipso jure reconveyed.
WHY?
Inconsistency of testimonials
CA: Reversed the ruling of the trial court; ruled in favor of ROBES-FRANSICO
o Respondent had sufficient available funds
o Respondent tendered payment
ISSUES:
(1) WON the finding that respondent had sufficient available funds on or
before the grace period for the payment of its obligation proof that it did a
tender of payment?
(2) WON it is petitioners legal obligation to execute a deed of absolute sale
before the respondent has actually paid the complete consideration of the
sale?
(3) WON an offer of a check is a valid tender of payment under a contract that
stipulates that the consideration of the sale is in Philippine Currency?
HELD/RATIO:
(1) NO; a finding that respondent had sufficient available funds on or
before the grace period does not constitute proof of tender of
payment
SC said it should have paid within the grace period and secured
a receipt such that it would have been in a position to demand
the execution of the documents.
(3) NO; a certified personal check is not legal tender nor the currency
stipulated
Art. 1249 of CC
Atty, Ricardo J. Francisco was a complimentary member of the BECC and was
issued a credit card.
o Credit limit: P3,000
o In later years, it was increased to P5,000
o His membership was always renewed
o He often exceeded his credit limit and paid by mode of check, which
BPI tolerated
ISSUES:
(1) WON Marasigan can recover moral damages arising from the cancellation
of his credit card by BPI?
(2) WON BPI had the right to suspend the credit card of Marasigan?
(3) WON prior to the suspension of Marasigans credit card, the parties
entered into an agreement whereby the card could still be used and would
be duly honored by duly accredited establishments?
HELD/RATIO:
(1) NO; BPI did not act in bad faith by cancelling the credit card
