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.
