III. On March 1, 2017, sisters and business partners Carmina and Celeste
Corominas borrowed PhP 500,000 from Carmen Carunungan. It was agreed
that the amount will be paid in full one (1) year after, or on March 1, 2018,
with interest at the rate of 10% per annum, without necessity of a demand.
They also agreed to be bound jointly and severally. For this purpose, they
executed a promissory note, secured by a postdated check in the amount
of PhP 550,000 drawn from their joint account, which check was dated
March 1, 2018. When the debt became due, Carmen deposited the check
but it was dishonored for insufficient funds. Carmen then sued Carmina and
Celeste for Estafa through falsification of a commercial document.

After finding probable cause, the prosecutor filed a criminal case in court,
where the sisters were required to file their joint judicial affidavit. In their
affidavit, they raised the defense that they could not be guilty of estafa
because: (i) the check was issued only as a form of security; (ii) even if
issued as payment, it was for a pre-existing debt; and (iii) it was only upon
Carmen's insistence that they issued the check. Before the case could be
decided, the sisters offered to settle their debt through a dacion en pago.
They offered a Honda CRV which they jointly owned in full settlement of the
loan. Carmen agreed.

Prepare the following documents in legally acceptable and enforceable

forms, based on the above facts:

a. Promissory Note (5%)

b. Dacion en pago (5%)

Since the amount offered was fair and reasonably covered all the expenses
incurred, your client accepted the offer. Prepare the document of Release
and Waiver that in your opinion will best protect the interest of your client,
 the victim, and will likewise be legally sufficient and acceptable to the car
owner and his driver. (10%)
