Ipinaalala ng Korte Suprema na habang ang mga nagpapahiram ng pera ay maaaring makakuha ng mga ari-arian na ginagamit bilang loan collateral, ang pagmamay-ari ay hindi maaaring awtomatikong ilipat sa kanila, maliban kung may hiwalay na kasunduan.

Sa isang Desisyon na isinulat ni Chief Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo, kinatigan ng First Division ng Korte Suprema ang paglipat ng pagmamay-ari ng lupang pag-aari ng Ruby Shelter Builders and Realty Development Corporation (Ruby Shelter) sa pinagkakautangan nito na sina Romeo Y. Tan (Tan) at Roberto L . Obiedo (Obiedo). Ayon sa Korte Suprema, ang paglilipat na ito ay batay sa isang may bisang kasunduan at hindi lumalabag sa batas na nagbabawal sa awtomatikong paglilipat ng pagmamay-ari ng collateral.

Ang Ruby Shelter ay humiram ng pera kina Tan at Obiedo, gamit ang ilang mga ari-arian bilang collateral. Nang ang natitirang utang ay umabot sa PHP 95 milyon, ang mga partido ay pumirma sa isang Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) na ibenta ang mga ari-arian nito kina Tan at Obiedo bilang bayad sa utang.

Pinagtibay ng Korte Suprema ang bisa ng MOA at sinabing kusang pumasok ang Ruby Shelter sa MOA na ibenta ang mga ari-arian kung hindi makapagbayad. Ipinaliwanag din ng Korte na ang MOA ay hindi bumubuo ng pactum commissorium o isang ipinagbabawal na kasunduan sa ilalim ng Article 2088 ng Civil Code. Ang probisyong ito ay nagsasaad na ang isang tagapagpahiram ay hindi maaaring awtomatikong makakuha ng pagmamay-ari ng collateral kung ang nanghihiram ay nabigong magbayad.

Ang pactum commissorium ay nangyayari kapag (1) ang isang ari-arian ay ginamit bilang collateral para sa isang pautang; at (2) ang kasunduan sa pautang ay may kasamang probisyon na awtomatikong naglilipat ng pagmamay-ari ng collateral sa nagpapahiram kung ang nanghihiram ay nabigong magbayad.

The Supreme Court reiterated that while lenders can acquire properties used as loan collateral, ownership cannot automatically transfer to them.

The SC explained that pactum commissorium occurs when (1) a property is used as collateral for a loan; and (2) the loan agreement includes a provision automatically transferring ownership of the collateral to the lender if the borrower fails to pay.

The SC emphasized that pactum commissorium is prohibited to protect borrowers from losing properties that may be worth more than their debt. Ownership can only be transferred through foreclosure and a public auction.

However, the SC clarified that this prohibition only applies to automatic transfers of ownership. Borrowers are free to voluntarily sell their collateral to lenders as repayment.

In this case, the realty corporation willingly entered into a separate agreement to sell its properties to the lenders as payment for the loan. The SC ruled that this was not an automatic transfer and, therefore, did not violate the prohibition against pactum commissorium.

The Decision is from the SC First Division, penned by Chief Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo.
