TECNOGAS * PHILIPPINES MANUFACTURING CORPORATION v. PHILIPPINE NATIONAL


BANK, GR No. 161004, 2008-04-14
Facts:
On December 3, 1991, petitioner Tecnogas Philippines Manufacturing Corporation
(Tecnogas) obtained from respondent Philippine National Bank (PNB) an Omnibus Line of
P35 million and a 5-year Term Loan of P14 million. To secure the loan, Tecnogas executed a
Real Estate Mortgage
[5] (REM) over its parcel of land in Parañaque City, covered by Transfer Certificate of Title
(TCT) No. 122533 [6] and registered in the Registry of Deeds of Parañaque City.
The REM authorized PNB to extrajudicially foreclose the mortgage as the duly constituted
attorney-in-fact of Tecnogas [7] in case Tecnogas defaults on its obligations. It also provided
that the mortgage will stand as a security for any and all other... obligations of Tecnogas to
PNB, for whatever kind or nature, and regardless of whether the obligations had been
contracted before, during or after the constitution of the mortgage.
Finally, when the loan matured, PNB sent collection letters [9] to Tecnogas, but the latter...
only proposed to pay its obligations by way of dacion en pago conveying TCT No. 122533.
[10] As of April 15, 2001, petitioner's loan obligation was P205,025,743.59, inclusive of
interest and penalties. [11]
PNB filed a petition for extrajudicial foreclosure of the REM in the RTC of Parañaque City.
The auction sale was set on September 20, 2001.
A day before the auction sale, Tecnogas filed with the Parañaque City RTC a complaint [12]
for annulment of extrajudicial foreclosure sale, with application for the issuance of a
temporary restraining order (TRO) and writ of preliminary injunction docketed... as Civil Case
No. 01-0330. On the same date, the RTC issued a TRO valid for 72 hours. [13] On
September 21, 2001, the RTC granted extension of the TRO for 17 days. [14]... the Court of
Appeals issued the assailed decision and ruled that the trial court committed grave abuse of

2
discretion in enjoining the extrajudicial foreclosure sale. It held that Tecnogas' proposal to
pay through dacion en pago did not constitute payment... as it was not accepted by PNB.
Thus, injunction was not proper as the extrajudicial foreclosure of the REM was a necessary
consequence of Tecnogas' default in its loan obligations. Tecnogas sought reconsideration,
but it was denied. Hence, this petition.
Tecnogas admits its liability and that its proposal to pay by way of dacion en pago was not
accepted by PNB. But Tecnogas avers that its proposal constitutes a valid tender of payment
Issues:
Did the Court of Appeals err in ruling that Tecnogas was not entitled to an injunctive relief?
(2) Did the foreclosure sale render the petition moot?
Ruling:
A writ of preliminary injunction may be issued only upon clear showing by the applicant of
the existence of the following: (1) a right in esse or a clear and unmistakable right to be
protected; (2) a violation of that right; and (3) an urgent and paramount necessity for... the
writ to prevent serious damage. In the absence of a clear legal right, the issuance of the
injunctive writ constitutes grave abuse of discretion. [20]
On the first issue, the Court of Appeals did not err in ruling that Tecnogas has no clear legal
right to an injunctive relief because its proposal to pay by way of dacion en pago did not
extinguish its obligation. Undeniably, Tecnogas' proposal to pay by way of dacion... en pago
was not accepted by PNB. Thus, the unaccepted proposal neither novates the parties'
mortgage contract nor suspends its execution as there was no meeting of the minds
between the parties on whether the loan will be extinguished by way of dacion en pago.
Necessarily, upon Tecnogas' default in its obligations, the foreclosure of the REM becomes a
matter of right on the part of PNB, for such is the purpose of requiring security for the loans.
