Question 15
15. A owned three condominium units located near Camp Aguinaldo along EDSA. In
2020, A leased the three condominium units to the government for the use of its
military officials, X, Y, and Z, as their offices for a period of three years. In 2024, A
sued X, Y, and Z to recover possession of the condominium units because their
respective leases had expired and they refused to vacate the premises despite
demands. A also prayed for payment of rent in arrears. X, Y, and Z moved to dismiss
the case for lack of jurisdiction on the ground of state immunity from suit. A
countered that the lease contracts were commercial contracts, not falling within the
doctrine of state immunity from suit. Is A correct? Reason(s).
