v.
Delos Santos
G.R. No. 125221
June 19, 1997
Facts:
Out of a request from the Sangguniang Bayan of Pampanga to unify the two of Jeepney
associations (KAMAJDA and SAMATOJODA), Mr. Lozano and Mr. Anda ran for presidency of the
now unified Jeepney association (UMAJODA). They agreed that the elected officer shall be given
the sole authority to collect the daily dues from the members of the association (SAMTOJODA).
Mr. Anda lost the election but continued collecting dues from the members of his jeepney
association and Mr. Lozano asked him to desist but to no avail. A case to restrain Mr. Anda
from collecting the dues plus damages was filed by Mr. Lozano. Mr. Anda moved to dismiss the
case on the ground that the SEC has the jurisdiction, the issue between them being intra-
corporate in nature.
Issues:
1. Whether or not there is an intra-corporate relationship between the petitioner and
respondent?
2. Whether or not the said consolidated association is deemed a Corporation by Estoppel?
Ruling:
