money so that the boy could receive five annual payments of P20,000 each for his college tuition fees,
starting with his 18

birthday. Interest at the rate of 12$ per annum was to be paid on all amounts on
deposit. There was also a provision that the grandson could elect to withdraw no annual payments and
receive a single lump amount on his 25
