SUBJECT : DEMAND LETTER

Dear Ms. Manalese:

Pursuant to the abolition of the Technology Resource Center (TRC), the Department of
Science and Technology (DOST), as the supervising agency, was tasked to implement the
winding up of the operations, disposition of the assets, and settlement of the former’s
liabilities.

In this regard, you are hereby demanded to pay, in full, within ten (10) days from receipt
hereof, the unpaid obligations of Astro Pacific International. Per our records, your
outstanding total obligations to DOST sums up to PESOS: ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED SIXTY & 75/100 centavos (1,528,860.75)
including unpaid interests, penalties and E-VAT as of May 31, 2020. Attached is a copy of
your Statement of Account.

Please be informed that your account has been past due for several years and the account
remained unpaid. In this regard, DEMAND is now being made upon you to fully pay to
DOST your unpaid obligation in the above mentioned amount plus all interests and
penalties, the total amount of which shall be determined at the date of the actual
payment. We would appreciate if you can contact us the soonest possible time to settle
your account or make payment arrangements with DOST for full settlement of the long
outstanding account of Astro Pacific International.

NOTICE IS FURTHER GIVEN that if you fail to settle your obligations after the above-
mentioned deadline, DOST-TRC will institute the appropriate legal actions against you
and/or foreclosure of your property without further demand and claims for damages, among
others, to ensure the interests of the Philippine Government.

For any payment arrangement or meeting with DOST-TRC, you may get in touch with Ms.
Adelaida M. dela Rosa, Chief Administrative Officer, PMD and Co-Project Leader for
Loans/Collection/PPE, DOST-TRC and you may call her at telephone number 8837-2071 to
82 (local 2090).

We trust that you will give this matter your preferential attentions to avert any legal action
that DOST will undertake.

Very truly yours,

ATTY. ANGELY P. MEDALLE-ALVIAR

Chief, Legal Division
