-versus-
CARLITO D. ESCOTE,
Accused
POSITION PAPER OF THE ACCUSED TO ENTER INTO COMPROMISE PAYMENT
COMES NOW THE ACCUSED, thru this verified instrument most respectfully submit this
instrument unto this Honorable Court, respectfully submit this instrument in order to
amicable settlements of the above-mentioned cased, do hereby depose and averse That –
1) Accused had entered an arraignment TO NOT GUILTY, last August 25,
2022, that in pursuant to the order executed by this HON. CHARINA G.
NAVARRO-QUIJANO, Presiding Judge, Who likewise referred both
parties to the Philippine Mediation Center (PMC) in order to raised the
possible settlement thru a COMPROMISE AGREEMENT. Here with
attach the court order issued by this Honorable Court and was officially
received by the accused on October 3, 2022 as Annex A to form apart
hereof.
2) Both parties, had officially obeyed the so called ordered of said
mediation proceedings in the presence of HON. Arbiter dated on
September 8, 2022, but certainly on September 19 was next conference
together with Mr. Philip Lloyd Tecson He had informed the accused not
to proceed the venue as per advised from the Arbiter. And again
another resetting on September 27, and I decided to call the plaintiff
last September 26, plaintiff answered according to Him that His wife had
ongoing birthing labor.
3) In consonants to this compromised settlement entered on both parties
had agreed to prepared their individual option in order to met and
resolve the issues, however, when the accused secured the plaintiffs
instrument he found out in paragraph (1) indicated the total amount
Three Hundred Nighty Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Fifteen
(Php.398,915.00) that is very confusing because the principal amount
borrowed was only(Php.33,400.00) as per issued check No.0003472831
China Bank Cebu-SM City Branch. As they have exhibit to this
Honorable Court.
4) In paragraph (3) it is also stated that the borrower should issue in favor
of the LENDER a postdated checks covering the series of monthly
payments. As DEBTOR guarantees that sufficient and existing funds for
the new checks to be issued. Eventually, accused, has no current
account at presents, due he was suffering to bankruptcy had no more
income to provide such issuance postdated checks. Here with attach
the plaintiff compromise agreement proforma offered to the accused as
Annexes B and B-1 to form apart hereof.
ARGUMENT AND ISSUES
5) Plaintiffs representation is now in question hence, in their complaint of
Batas Blng 22 otherwise called as bouncing check as presidential
decree No.22. Accused, had notice that Mr.Philip Lloyd Tecson whom
had acting as plaintiffs representative did not suffice his authority to
sue and to be sued, in connection to his legal representation
considering the facts, no attachment of a General Special Power of
Authority or a board resolution to mention his participation of this case
and He is NOT THE RIGHT PARTIES OF INTEREST, to filed this
complaint against the said accused, that PREJUDICE and this is
contrary to LAW.
6) Accused is willing to pay and enter into what so ever obligation that he
had committed the reason of submitting this position paper to resolve
issues, the option are as follows;
6.1 That the representation of plaintiffs must be provided with a legal
authority in representing this case, to provide the so called instrument
as narrated under PAR(5) of this instrument.
6.2 That their must be transparent liquidation and statement of account
as a breakdown of the so called (Php.398,915.00) as allegedly payable
for the accused this tantamount a rubbery of the lights,
6.3 Accused is optimistic that a settlement be make by parties in
resolving the issues through compromise agreement
There are two kinds of compromise agreements, the judicial, which puts an end to a pending litigation, and
the extrajudicial, which is to avoid a litigation (Civil Code of the Philippines, Art. 2028; Caguioa, VI
Commentaries and Cases, on Civil Law 292 [1970]).
As a contract, a compromise agreement is perfected by mutual consent (Rovero v. Amparo, 91 Phil. 228
[1952]). A judicial compromise, however, while binding between the parties upon its execution, is not
executory until it is approved by the court and reduced to a judgment.
Article 2037 of the Civil Code of the Philippines provides:
A compromise has upon the parties the effect and authority of res judicata; but there shall
be no execution except in compliance with a judicial compromise.
The non-fulfillment of the terms and conditions of a compromise agreement approved by the court justifies
execution thereof and the issuance of the writ for said purpose is the court's ministerial duty enforceable
by mandamus (Maceda, Jr. v. Moreman Builders Co., Inc., 203 SCRA 293 [1991]).
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, in the premises considered, ACCUSED, PRAY to be given merits with
reconsideration to resolve this pleading including the granting of this position paper as
submitted to this Honorable Court shall be given due course, that a compromise payment
of Php.20,000.00 on November 30, 2022 as initial payment another succeeding
Php.5,000.00 every 30th days of the month until completion of agreed payable amounts
be resolve thru judicial judgement. Other relief and remedies, prays for such other relief
deemed just and equitable under the premises.
