RESPONDENT : Jacinta Baldomar, et al. SUMMARY : Vicente Singson Encarnacion leased his house in Manila to Jacinta Baldomar and her son, Lefrado Fernando, upon a month-to-month basis. In the aftermath of the last war, plaintiff Singson Encarnacion notified the defendants, the said mother and son, to vacate the house as the former needed it for his offices. Notwithstanding the demand, defendants insisted on continuing their occupancy. Proper action was then filed with Municipal Court of Manila; meanwhile defendants were behind in making the payment of the rental for that month (agreed rental being payable within the first five days of each month). That rental was then paid prior to the hearing of the case in the municipal court. As a consequence, the said court entered judgment for restitution and payment of rentals from the subsequent month until defendants completely vacate the premises. When the case reached the Court of First Instance (CFI) upon appeal, defendant Fernando averred that the contract which they had celebrated with plaintiff since the beginning authorized them to continue occupying the house indefinitely and while they should faithfully fulfill their obligations with respect to the payment of the rentals, and that this agreement had been ratified. The CFI gave more credit to plaintiff's witness, Vicente Singson Encarnacion, Jr., who testified that the lease had always and since the beginning been upon a month-to-month basis as the defendant’s answer was indicative of an eleventh-hour theory (something made at the last moment) . The Supreme Court affirmed the ruling of the lower courts which was in favor of the plaintiff as the defense set up would leave to the sole and exclusive will of one of the contracting parties (defendants in this case) the validity and fulfillment of the contract of lease.
