ALLEGATIONS COMMON TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION
1.
That on January 1, 2010, the plaintiff obtained a loan from the plaintiff in the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Pesos (P 500,000.00) to be fully paid on its due date which is on June 1, 2009. Consequently, Juan de Dios and Pedro Santos executed a Deed of Real Estate Mortgage with a Promissory Note dated January 1, 2010, photocopy of which is hereto attached as Annex "A", Pedro Santos as a Mortgagor and Juan Santos as the mortgagee on a parcel of Land covered by Transfer of Certificate of Title (TCT) No. T-123456;
2.
Defendant, in turn filed an application for Extra-Judicial Foreclosure of the Real Estate Mortgage before the Office of the Sheriff, Regional Trial Court, Davao City. Alleged in the application is the indebtedness of the Plaintiff amounting to Five Hundred Thousand Pesos (Php 500,000.00) which was due six (6) months after the said date. The Clerk of Court, in turn, issued a Notice of Foreclosure informing the Public that the Parcel of Land at issue, with all its improvements shall be sold at a Public Auction to be held in October 1st 2010 at 9:00 in the morning;
3. There is no just and valid ground to the aforesaid application against the Plaintiff’s property since he remains to be the rightful owner being able to fulfill his obligation with the defendant, thus precludes the extinguishment of the obligation; 4.
The obligation has been extinguished because the defendant paid the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Pesos (P500, 000.00), based on these following facts: Mr. Juan de Dios approached the defendant Mr. Santos, on March 3, 2010 and told him that he needs Construction materials. Mr. de Dios offered to help him and he let Mr. de Dios have the construction materials he needed worth of Five Hundred Thousand Pesos (P500, 000.00). All of these construction materials were from Pedro Santos and Sons Inc. Construction materials which are one of the businesses owned by Mr. Santos together with his sons.
5. Evidently, by reason of compensation through the materials purchased from Pedro Santos and Sons Construction INC., the mortgage shall then be discharged and the same no longer has force or legal effect. Thus, the foreclosure and sale of the aforesaid property of
the herein plaintiff would unduly prejudice and render substantial injustice to the Plaintiff. PRAYER
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed to this Honorable Court that a writ of Preliminary
Injunction with Temporary Restraining Order be immediately issued by this Honorable Court ordering the defendants Juan de Dios, and Raymond Silva, Sheriff IV of the Regional Trial Court-Clerk of Court-Sheriff, Davao City, to observe status quo; thereafter after due notice and hearing, a writ of Preliminary Injunction be issued; A.
To restrain the defendants from selling the property at pu blic auction on October 1st 2010 at 9:00 in the morning at the main entrance Hall of Justice, Ecoland, Davao City.
After trial on the merits, judgment be rendered: 1.
Making the Preliminary Injunction Permanent;
2. Ordering defendant to pay for Plaintiff’s moral damages in the total amount of One Hundred Thousand Pesos (Php 100,000.00); 3. Ordering defendant to pay for Plaintiff’s exemplary damages in the total amount of Fifty Thousand Pesos (Php 50,000.00); 4.
