For: Collection of Sum
QUENNIE ZAIRAH F. of
PUEBLO, Money with Damages
Defendant.
/-----------------------------------------
------------------/
COMPLAINT
Plaintiff, by counsel, to this Honorable Court, most respectfully sets forth

that:
1. Plaintiff is of legal age, Filipino citizen, married, a resident of ,

Block 5, Lot 4, Orchid St., Phase 2, Villa Carolina Village, Brgy. Yulo Drive, Iloilo
City, Iloilo and with capacity to sue and be sued. The Honorable Court’s notices,
order and other processes may be sent to Gaton-Alitao Law Offices at R. Mapa
St. Brgy, Tabucan, Mandurriao, Iloilo City, Iloilo, 5000.
2. Defendant QUENNIE ZAIRAH F. PUEBLO is of legal age, Filipino

citizen, married, with capacity to sue and be sued, and a resident of Block 6 Lot
9, Phase 2, Deca Homes, Pavia, Iloilo, where she may be served with Summons,
a copy of this Complaint, and other Court’s processes.
3. On June 23, 2022, defendant borrowed and received from plaintiff

the amount of Php300,000.00. Simultaneously, they jointly executed a Trust
Receipt Agreement and Promissory Note for said obligation. In the same
instruments, defendant agreed and promised to pay the said loan on installment
at Php12,500 for 36 months, inclusive of 1.5% monthly interest. Attached and
made integral part hereof is a machine copy of the Trust Receipt Agreement and
Promissory Note as Annexes “A and B”.

Department of Labor and Employment through Landbank CA#6523-0119-65 and
surrendered to plaintiff her Automated Teller Machine (ATM) card and
corresponding Personal Identification Number (PIN).

5. Up to the present time, defendant only paid Php125,000.00 to
plaintiff because the ATM card of the defendant was already blocked.
6. Repeated verbal demands were initially resorted to by the plaintiff

to replace the blocked ATM card or pay her past due account. Despite repeated
plea, defendant refused and failed to settle her obligation.
7. Since his efforts to talk it out with the defendant were unsuccessful,
plaintiff caused to be prepared and served upon defendant a written demand to
pay with attached statement of account, demanding payment of the unpaid
principal loan and accrued interest with a total amount of Php453,000.00. Such
demand letters were sent defendants via registered mail on May 8, 2021 and
were received on May 8, 2021. Attached and made integral part hereof are true
copies of Demand for Payment sent to Quennie Zairah F. Pueblo as Annex “C”,
Statement of Account as Annex “D” and corresponding Registry Return Cards
as Annexes “E and F”.
8. Despite such written demand, defendants failed and continuously

failed to settle their obligation.
9. As a consequence of defendant’s failure to pay despite repeated

demands, plaintiff was deprived of his right to recover the loaned amount and
accrued interest. In addition, she was compelled to secure the services of a
lawyer to protect his interest and enforce his rights and thus committed to pay
attorney’s fees of P50,000.00. She also incurred paying docket and filing fees
which could have been avoided had defendants been fair and honest in dealing
with the plaintiff.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays for judgment from the Honorable

Court ordering defendant:
1. To indemnify plaintiff the amount of Php453,000.00 representing the

balance of the principal loan and accumulated interest.
2. To be assessed with Attorney’s Fees in the amount of Php50,000.00.
3. To reimburse the plaintiff with docket and filing fees.
4. To pay the cost.
