ANSWER
DEFENDANT PEDRO P. PASCUAL, by undersigned counsel, unto

this Honorable Court most respectfully states that:
1. Paragraphs one (1) to four (4) of the Complaint are admitted;
2. Paragraph five (5) is denied, the truth being that the obligation has
been partially paid already;
3. Paragraphs six (6) to eight (8) of the Complaint are denied for lack of
knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the veracity or
falsity thereof, the allegations therein being matters known only to and are
within the control only of the plaintiff;
4. Paragraph nine (9) of the Complaint is admitted;
SPECIAL AND AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES
1. On June 17, 2018, the Defendant paid the Plaintiff and gave Five
Hundred Fifty Thousand Pesos (Php550,000.00), as evidenced by an
acknowledgment receipt signed by the Plaintiff, attached herein, marked as
“Annexed A” and made an integral part hereto.
2. That the main reason the Plaintiff claims that debt is not yet paid, is
due to the two (2) percent interest of the first promissory note which we
agreed to be paid by the Defendant on December 20, 2020 as stated also in
the acknowledgment receipt signed by the Plaintiff, attached herein, marked
as “Annexed A” and made an integral part hereto.

Complaint
COMPULSARY COUNTERCLAIM
1. By reason of the abuse of right committed by the plaintiff and by

reason of the instant precipitate and unfounded suit, the defendant was
constrained to hire the services of a lawyer to defend his rights and interests
for a professional fee of Twenty-Thousand Pesos (Php20,000.00) and Three
Thousand Pesos (Php3,000.00) per court appearance;
2. Similarly, the plaintiff’s unfounded suit has caused the defendant

mental anguish, wounded feelings, sleepless nights, serious anxieties, and
other similar sufferings for which the defendant claims moral damages of
Fifty Thousand Pesos (Php50,000.00).
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, it is respectfully

prayed to this Honorable Court the dismissal of the complaint for lack of
merit with costs against the plaintiff; and that the defendant’s compulsory
counterclaim be granted, i.e., moral damages of Fifty Thousand Pesos (Php
50,000.00), attorney’s fees of Twenty-Thousand Pesos (Php20,000.00), and
Three Thousand Pesos (Php3,000.00) per court appearance and costs of suit.
Other reliefs just and equitable under the premises are likewise prayed
for.
