said purchase order, a copy of which is hereto attached as
Annex “C”, was signed by the Head of the Purchasing and
Accounting Department and noted by the President of the
Defendant Corporation;
6. It was expressly agreed between the parties that the
delivery of AS5350 CISCO routers will take about 30-45 working
days from date of receipt of the Purchase Order which is
February 18, 2018 considering the fact that the said items and
equipment are to be shipped by Plaintiff from abroad;

purchased by Defendant Corporation and even advanced its
own funds to have the items shipped and just so it can comply
with its commitment and agreement to deliver the same within
30-45 day;

that the items were already ready to be delivered and
installed, and as per agreement, Defendant Corporation must
tender payment;

11. That despite the Formal Demand Letter sent to the


Defendant Corporation, a copy of which is hereto attached as
Annex “E” the latter refused and continued to refuse, the
receive the items it has ordered, and up to the present still
refuses to comply the terms of the written Contract they have
entered into;
DAMAGES

12. That Defendant Corporation’s continued refusal


resulted in unrealized income to the Plaintiff since the amount
could be used for other business undertaking, for which the
Defendant Corporation should be made to pay legal interests,
from the time of formal demand up to the time that the
amount is paid, by way of actual or compensatory damages;

13. That because of the adamant stance of the


Defendant Corporation, the Plaintiff was constrained to avail of
the services of a lawyer for which it has to pay P/90,000, as
acceptance fees and the further return of P/5,000 per
appearance, as well as the payment of docket fees and other
litigation expenses, of not less than P/20,000;

14. That the willful refusal to honor and agreement freely


entered into should not be countenanced, and in order to
prevent others from committing such transgressions, the
Defendant Corporation should be made to pay the amount of
P/250,000 as exemplary damages.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed:

(a) That the Defendant Corporation be ordered to


pay the sum of P/200,000.00 for the expenses paid by
the Plaintiff in the shipment of the items;

(b) That the Defendant Corporation be made to

the compensatory damages, equivalent to the legal
interest from the time of formal demand until such
time that the amount is delivered to the Plaintiff;
(d) That Defendant Corporation be made to pay the
Plaintiff the amount of P/200,000 as exemplary damages;
