SUGGESTED ANSWER:
(5) X applied for a loan in the amount of 25 million pesos from A Bank,
which has a net worth of 100 million pesos. However, the
application was rejected, on the sole basis that the amount applied
exceeds the 20% single borrower's limit under the General Banking
Law of 2000. X, on the other hand, argued that by virtue of BSP
Circular No. 425, the Manual of Regulations for Banks has
implemented the current limit of 25%. A Bank countered, stating
that the MORB is allegedly inconsistent with the GBL, hence,
invalid. Is A Bank's contention correct?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
No. Under the General Banking Law, the Monetary Board is given
the authority to increase the percentage of 20% for reasons of national
interest, in granting loans, credit accommodations and guarantees.
Hence, the BSP Circular is in harmony with the General Banking Law in
adopting the increased single borrower's limit to 25% of the total net
worth of the bank.
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
No. The funds that XYZ Corp. lends do not come from deposit. XYZ

the General Banking Law, is referred to as entities engaged in the
borrowing of funds through issuance, endorsement, or assignment with
recourse or acceptance of deposit substitutes for purposes of relending or
purchasing of receivables and other obligations. The business of XYZ
Corp. categorically falls under said definition. (2012 Bar; Aquino, 2015,

Any transaction between the entruster and the entrustee where the
entruster owning or holding beneficial title or security interests over
certain goods, documents or instruments, releases the same to the
possession of the entrustee upon the latter's execution and delivery to
the entruster the "trust receipt" wherein the entrustee binds himself to
hold said goods, documents or instruments with the obligation to turn
over to the entruster the proceeds thereof to the extent of the amount
owing to the entruster or as appears in the trust receipt or the goods,
documents or instruments themselves if they are unsold or otherwise

(11) ABC Corp. was held liable under a trust receipt transaction.
Director X, the signatory under said transaction, was then held
criminally liable for the same. However, he argued that he cannot be
held liable, having a distinct and separate personality from that of
the corporation and he was merely acting for the corporation. Is
Director Xs contention correct?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
(12) John Doe obtained a loan of P1M from SSS Bank to purchase bags
of cement for his hardware. He executed a trust receipt in favor of
SSS Bank over said bags of cement. On the way to his hardware,
John Doe met armed robbers who took the bags of cement. He now
claims that his obligation to pay the loan is extinguished, since the
loss was not due to his fault. Is his contention correct?
SUGGESTED ANSWER:
No. Under Section 10 of the Trust Receipts Law, the loss of goods
subject of a trust receipt, whether or not it was due to the fault or
negligence of the entrustee shall not extinguish his (entrustee) obligation
to the entruster. In this case, the fact that the loss due to robbery was
not his fault does not excuse him from liability, the trust receipt serving
only as security for the payment of loan. (Bar 2008)
