respectfully alleges:

Filipino, married and with residence at # 157, Prudencio St. Sampaloc,
Manila, where he could be served with summons and other processes of the
Court;

3. That sometime on May 11, 2016, Defendant has obtained and


was granted a loan by the Plaintiff in the amount of FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND PESOS (PHP 500,000.00). [ how much is the jurisdiction of the
MTC for civil cases? Also, is there a loan contract or merely a PN?] As

Formatted: Font: 14 pt

promise to pay the full amount after One (1) year [specify the date] and is
hereto attached as ANNEX A and is an integral part hereof; {the PN
guarantees payment?]

4. That as of October 15, 2017, the Defendant has failed to pay the
amount due of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (PHP 500,000.00)
without any justifiable and valid grounds;

5. That despite the written and verbal demands coming from the
Plaintiff, the Defendant has still failed, neglected and refused to settle the
amount due without any just and valid grounds to the continued damage and
prejudice of Plaintiff. Attached herein are copies of the demand letters to the
defendant dated July 10, 2017; July 14, 2017; August 07, 2017 as ANNEXES
B, C, D respectively;

6. That Plaintiff likewise initiated proceedings before the Office of


the Lupong Tagapamayapa of Brgy. 445, Sampaloc Manila, however, the
defendant failed to attend the proceedings despite prior notice. In response
to the defendants refusal to appear before the mediation proceedings, the
Office of the Lupong Tagapamayapa issued a Certificate to File Action.
Attached herein are copies of Notice of Hearing and the Certificate to File
Action as ANNEXES E AND F.

7. That the lack of response of the Respondent prompted the


Plaintiff to engage in the services of counsel and thus incurred Attorneys
Fees in the amount of TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND PESOS (PHP
25,000.00), and litigation expenses in the amount of TEN THOUSAND
PESOS (PHP 10,000.00)

Dear Mr. John S. Santos,

Formatted: Font: 14 pt

This letter is in regard to a loan that I made you in the amount of FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (PHP 500,000.00) on May 11, 2016 for
whatever reason it may serve. At that time, we agreed that this loan was to
be paid in full after One (1) year and you even produced a Promissory Note
to guarantee such payment. As of today, July 10, 2017, you have not given
me any payments towards this loan. It has been one year and two months
since the loan was to be repaid in full. I request that, on the receipt of this
letter, you repay the amount in full.

Your immediate attention to this matter will be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Paul Mikee O. Angeles

ANNEX C

DEMAND LETTER

Dear Mr. John S. Santos,

I would like to refer my earlier letter dated July 10, 2017 demanding for
the payment of the total amount of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS

(PHP 500,000.00) representing your unpaid loan which I did provide. It is


presumed that by this time, you have received the letter aforementioned.
However, up to now, you did not respond positively. Your silence would
mean refusal to settle my demand. Henceforth, I am still giving you an
opportunity and some time to pay for the loan you acquired. Otherwise, with
no option, I will commence legal proceeding without further notice.

Truly yours,

Paul Mikee O. Angeles

ANNEX D

DEMAND LETTER

August 7, 2017

Dear Mr. John S. Santos,

This letter is in reference for my earlier letters sent to you, the matter
of which is the non-payment of your obligation and demanding you to pay for
the loan which you acquired amounting to FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
PESOS (PHP 500,000.00). Despite the repeated demands I sent you, you
failed and continuously fail to pay for the aforesaid amount. Accordingly,
85 Formatted: Font: 14 pt
Formatted: Font: 14 pt

FINAL DEMAND is hereby made upon you to settle the amount of FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND PESOS (PHP 500,000.00). Otherwise, I reserve
the right to take further legal action to recover the amount of the loan without
further notice to you. This letter may be given in evidence in court of your
failure to pay. If it becomes necessary to go to court, I will expect you to pay
the applicable interest, filing and attorneys fees, and any other related costs.

Your immediate attention to this matter will be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Paul Mikee O. Angeles
