Classification of Obligations according to Sanchez Roman:

(1) As to juridical quality:


a. Natural – when the obligation is in accordance with natural law.
b. Civil – when the obligation is in accordance with positive law.
c. Mixed – when the obligation is in accordance with both natural and positive law.
(2) As to parties:
a. Unilateral and bilateral – unilateral, where only one party is bound, and bilateral,
where both parties are mutually or reciprocally bound.
b. Individual and collective – individual, where there is only one obligor, and collective,
where there are several obligors. The latter may be joint, when each obligor is liable
only for his proportionate share of the obligation, or solidary, when each obligor may
be held liable for the entire obligation.
(3) As to object:
a. Determinate and generic – determinate, when the object is specific; generic, when the
object is designated by its class or genus.
b. Simple and multiple – simple, when there is only one undertaking; multiple, when
there are several undertakings. Multiple obligations may be conjunctive, when all of
the undertakings are demandable at the same time, or distributive, when only one
undertaking out of several is demandable. Distributive obligations, on the other hand,
may be alternative, when the obligor is allowed to choose one out of several which
may be due and demandable, or facultative, when the obligor is allowed to substitute
another obligation for one which is due and demandable.
c. Positive and negative – positive, when the obligor is obliged to give or do something;
negative, when the obligor must refrain from giving or doing something.
d. Real and personal – real, when the obligation consists in giving something; personal,
when the obligation consists in doing or not doing something.
e. Possible and impossible – possible, when the obligation is capable of fulfillment in
nature as well as in law; impossible, when the obligation is not capable of fulfillment
either in nature or in law.
f. Divisible and indivisible – divisible, when the obligation is susceptible of partial
performance; indivisible, when the obligation is not susceptible of partial
performance.
g. Principal and accessory – principal. When it is the main undertaking; accessory, when
it is merely an undertaking to guarantee the fulfillment of the principal obligation.
(4) As to perfection and extinguishment
a. Pure – when the obligation is not subject to any condition or term and is immediately
demandable.
b. Conditional – when the obligation is subject to a condition which may be suspensive,
in which case the happening or fulfillment of the condition results in the birth of the
obligation, or resolutory, in which case the happening or fulfillment of the condition
results in the extinguishment of the obligation.
c. With a term or period – when the obligation is subject to a term or period which may
be suspensive or from a day certain, in which case the obligation is demandable only
upon the expiration of the term, or resolutory or to a day certain, in which case the
obligation terminates upon the expiration of the term.
