ANSWER

COMES NOW, the defendant, through the undersigned counsel and

unto this Honorable Court, most respectfully avers:

1. Defendant admits that the whole of paragraph 2 of the complaint

regarding the name, due incorporation, principal address and kind

of business engaged;

2. Defendant denies under oath the execution and authenticity of the

Purchase order, Annex “C” of the complaint, the truth being that the

same is a forgery. The defendant submits that it, through its

authorized representative executed a letter communicating the

Purchase Order, however, such letter expressly and explicitly

qualified the acceptance of the terms and conditions of payment and

 the number of days before the goods may be delivered as stated in

the price quotation sent by the plaintiff;

3. Defendant has insufficient knowledge to determine the truth or falsity

of the allegations in paragraph 5, and, therefore, neither admits the

said allegations, and demands strict proof of them at trial.

4. Defendant partially admits the allegation in paragraph 6 of the

complaint, the truth being that Yungchow Corporation did not ask for

such assistance from the plaintiff and even expressed to the same

that such temporary installation of AS5350 Routers were

unnecessary since the current Routers are still working well.

However, albeit having knowledge of the sentiment of the company

the plaintiff still insisted to install the said routers.

5. Defendant admits the allegation in paragraph 7. However, by way of

affirmative defense avers that;

A. Cancellation of the order as stated in the letter sent to the

plaintiff was due to causes beyond the control of the

corporation, as the corporation is suffering from insolvency

and any disbursement of fund will cause its outright

bankruptcy.

B. The letter also expressly stated that there was yet no

perfected contract between the parties since the plaintiff did

not give any reply to the qualified acceptance made by

Yungchow Corporation.
6. Defendant admits the receipt of the letter dated April 7, 2018,

Yungchow Corporation cannot be compelled to receive such goods,

because even if we accept for the sake of argument that there was a

perfected contract between the parties, the goods only 1 week after

the 45th day from the plaintiffs receipt of the Purchase Order which

constitutes a breach of contract.

7. Defendant specifically denies the allegations in paragraph 10, the

truth of the matter is that the last communication received by the

Yungchow Corporation from the plaintiff was the letter dated April 7,

2018, informing the former of the arrival of the goods in the Philippines.

8. By way of counterclaim, defendant alleges:

That by virtue of this unwarranted and malicious act initiated by

the plaintiff, defendant was forced to engage counsel in the sum of

FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS (Php 50, 000.00)

 PRAYER

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that the complaint be

dismissed and defendant be awarded the amount of ONE HUNDRED

THOUSAND PESOS (Php 100,000.00).

Further, the defendant prays fro such and other remedies as may be

deemed just and equitable in the premises.
