PURE OBLIGATION

- One whose effectivity or extinguishment

does not depend upon the fulfillment or
non-fulfillment of a condition or upon
the expiration of a term or a period.
It is demandable at once.

- A pure obligation is a debt which is not

subject to any conditions and no specific
date is mentioned for its fulfillment. A
pure obligation is immediately
demandable. It is an obligation with
respect to which no condition precedent
remains which has not been performed.

Examples:
1. I promise to pay you P1 million.
2. I’ll pay you P1 million on demand.
CONDITIONAL OBLIGATION

precedent/antecedent) – its fulfillment
gives rise to the obligation, if not
fulfilled, no obligation will arise.

already existing.
OBLIGATION WITH A PERIOD

- An obligation with a period is a kind

of obligation wherein its
performance is subject to a term or
period, and can only be demandable
when that period expires. Such
period is 'a day certain' which must
necessarily come, although it may
not be known when.
- Article 1193. Obligations for whose
fulfillment a day certain has been
fixed, shall be demandable only
when that day comes.

take effect at once, but terminate
upon arrival of the day certain.
