Question 15
15. On September 6, 2015, Mauro purchased from Antonio a motorcycle, as
evidenced by a deed of sale. The purchase price was ₱88,700, with a down
payment of ₱35,000, and the balance payable in 12 monthly installments, due
and payable on the first day of each month starting December 1, 2015. As security
for the balance, Mauro executed a chattel mortgage over the said motorcycle in
favor of Antonio. However, Mauro failed to pay the monthly installments. After
Antonio extrajudicially demanded payment for the balance, Mauro returned the
property to Antonio. Is the return of the motorcycle equivalent to dación en
pago? Discuss.
