Raphael, a warehouseman, filed a complaint against V corporation, X corporation, and Y corporation to

compel them to interplead. He alleged therein that the three corporations claimed title and right of
possession over the goods deposited in his warehouse and that he was uncertain which of them was
entitled to the goods. After due proceedings, judgment was rendered by the court declaring that X
corporation was entitled to the goods. The decision became final and executor. Raphael filed a
complaint against X corporation for the payment of P100,000 for storage charges and other advances
for the goods. X corporation filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on the ground of res judicata. X
corporation alleged that Raphael should have incorporated in his complaint for interpleader his claim
for storage fees and advances and that for his failure he was barred from interposing his claim.
Raphael replied hat he could not have claimed storage fees and other advances in his complaint for
interpleader because he was not yet certain as to who was liable therefor. Resolve the motion with
reasons.[4]
