[Address]
We write in behalf of our client Jose Creditor regarding the check you issued to him dated 15
March 2019 in the amount of ₱700,000, drawn against Bank of the Philippine Islands, Zapote,
Las Piñas City Branch. Upon presentment for payment, the same was dishonored for
reason of “account closed.”
Demand is hereby made upon you to pay to our client the amount of the check within 5 days
from receipt of this letter. Otherwise we shall file against you the criminal complaint for
violation of the Bouncing Checks Law without further notice and demand.
Yours truly,
This serves to authorize the bearer SUSAN AGENTE to pick up the deed of cancellation of
real estate mortgage over my property covered by TCT No. 123456, located in Imus, Cavite.
Yours truly,
JOSEPH PRINCIPALI

conducted by Atty. Enrique at ______________________, Makati City.
Q1 Mr. Creditor, are you fully conscious that you are answering the questions asked of you
under oath and that you will be liable for false testimony or perjury if you do not answer
truthfully?
A Yes, sir.
A Yes.
A Yes.
A Yes.

a talk.

Q7 What did you talk about?
A We talked about old times. And then he asked me if I could lend him P700,000 for a
business he was putting up.
A Yes. But I asked that he execute a promissory note in my favor as proof of the loan
and that the due date should be one year or on 3 March 2019.
A He agreed and he executed the promissory note in my favor promising to pay the loan
on 3 March 2019.
Q11 I’m showing to you this Promissory Note dated 3 March 2018 in the amount of
P700,000 and payable on 3 March 2019 without need of notice or demand. Is this the
promissory note which was executed by Defendant?
A Yes.
Q12 I’m showing to you this signature on the promissory note above the printed name Juan
Debtor. Is this the signature of the Defendant?
A Yes.
A He signed the promissory note in front of me and besides I’m familiar with his signature
since we are long-time friends and I’ve seen him sign several times.
ATTY. ENRIQUE: Your Honor we move that the Promissory Note be marked as Exhibit A
and that the Defendant’s signature thereon be sub-marked as Exhibit A-1.
A I called up the Defendant and demanded payment, but he said he could not pay
because his business had folded up.
A I said I’m sorry about his business but he should repay me because one year is long
enough and I need the money.
Q17 What did you do after he said he could not repay you?
A I engaged Atty. Rufo Enrique to file a collection case against him, which Atty. Enrique
did.

Q18 Has the Defendant paid his loan obligation to you?
A No, up to now he has not paid me a single centavo on his loan obligation.
A Apart from the repayment of the P700,000, I am also seeking interest by way of
damages at the rate of 6% per annum starting from 3 March 2019 until payment.
