ANSWER
Defendant, through counsel, and in the answer to the Plaintiff’s complaint, states that:
1. Defendant admits Paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the Complaint;
2. Defendant specifically denies the material allegations in paragraph 5 of the complaint, and
that, in truth and in fact, the Defendant already paid One Hundred Thirty Thousand Pesos
(P130,000.00) representing his monthly obligation for the month of December as
evidenced by Payment Receipt executed by the Plaintiff. A copy of the receipt is herein
attached as annexed “1”.
3. Plaintiff’s allegation on the same paragraph as mentioned above that the amount of Five
Hundred Twenty Thousand (P520,000.00) is due and demandable because of a default in
payment for the month of December 2017 is therefore without any legal ground.
4. Defendant categorically denies having received any Demand Letter/Letters from the
Plaintiff.
5. Defendant submits that the Complaint has no cause of action as the amount of the balance
demanded by the Plaintiff is not yet due and demandable.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed of this Honorable Court
that the Complaint filed be dismissed.
The Defendant likewise prays for such other remedies and reliefs as may be deemed just
and equitable under the premises.
