demand payment from A alone by the time it is due and demandable?

3. A and B are solidary debtors of C in the amount of 10,000. A paid to C

10,000. Can A ask B for reimbursement? If yes, how much?

4. A and B are solidary debtors of C in the amount of 20,000. C remitted the

whole obligation when A offered to pay. Can A ask for reimbursement from
B? If yes, how much?

5. A and B jointly promised to deliver the Motorcycle with plate no. X-231
worth 100,000 to C on Feb. 14. On Feb. 14, B does not have the money to

 Corp. is bound to give B 1 laptop in each day of delay. On the 30th day, A
Corp. was only able to deliver 20 units of laptop. On the 35th day A Corp.
was able to deliver the remaining balance of 10 units. B demanded A Corp.
that A Corp. still has deliverable 5 units laptop due to the 5 days delay on
the delivery. Is B’s demand of 5 units of laptop valid?

In case A Corp. refuses to deliver the 5 units of laptop demanded by B, will

A Corp. be liable to B?

stipulated that if B will not be able to kill C within that period, B shall be

demand from B the penalty amount of 50,000?

from his neighbor B. A immediately occupied and caused for the issuance
of the Original Certificate of Title of Lot No. 3251. A went to Mindanao for a

City after 35 years, he found out that X is already cultivating Lot No. 3251.
Upon A’s demand, X raised the defense that he is already the owner of Lot
3251 because he was in open, public and continuous possession, in the

of X valid?

overnight in his lot. D demanded A to dismantle his house and vacate the
premises, but A did not heed and instead claims ownership of the land. D
was afraid that A may cause trouble so D did not insist. On February 24,
2012 D summoned A to the Barangay but they were not settled there. D
filed a case forcible entry case before the MTC. D’s case was dismissed
on the ground that his action has already prescribed. Was the dismissal
correct?
