1. That on January 1, 2010, the plaintiff obtained a loan from the plaintiff in the sum of Five
Hundred Thousand Pesos (P 500,000.00) to be fully paid on its due date which is on June
1, 2009. Consequently, Juan de Dios and Pedro Santos executed a Deed of Real Estate
Mortgage with a Promissory Note dated January 1, 2010, photocopy of which is hereto
attached as Annex "A", Pedro Santos as a Mortgagor and Juan Santos as the mortgagee
2. Defendant, in turn filed an application for Extra-Judicial Foreclosure of the Real Estate
Mortgage before the Office of the Sheriff, Regional Trial Court, Davao City. Alleged in
the application is the indebtedness of the Plaintiff amounting to Five Hundred Thousand
Pesos (Php 500,000.00) which was due six (6) months after the said date. The Clerk of
Court, in turn, issued a Notice of Foreclosure informing the Public that the Parcel of Land
at issue, with all its improvements shall be sold at a Public Auction to be held in October
3. There is no just and valid ground to the aforesaid application against the Plaintiff’s
property since he remains to be the rightful owner being able to fulfill his obligation with
4. The obligation has been extinguished because the defendant paid the amount of Five
Hundred Thousand Pesos (P500, 000.00), based on these following facts: Mr. Juan de
Dios approached the defendant Mr. Santos, on March 3, 2010 and told him that he needs
Construction materials. Mr. de Dios offered to help him and he let Mr. de Dios have the
construction materials he needed worth of Five Hundred Thousand Pesos (P500, 000.00).
All of these construction materials were from Pedro Santos and Sons Inc. Construction
materials which are one of the businesses owned by Mr. Santos together with his sons.
5. Evidently, by reason of compensation through the materials purchased from Pedro Santos
and Sons Construction INC., the mortgage shall then be discharged and the same no
longer has force or legal effect. Thus, the foreclosure and sale of the aforesaid property of
the herein plaintiff would unduly prejudice and render substantial injustice to the
Plaintiff.
