NAZARIO TRILLANA, administrator-appellee, vs. QUEZON COLLEGE,
INC., claimant-appellant.

Facts:

Damasa Crisostomo subscribed 200 shares of capital stock with a par value of
P100 each through a letter sent to the Board of Trustees of the Quezon College,
enclosed with the letter are a sum of money as her initial payment and her assurance of
full payment after she harvested fish. On October 26, 1948, Damasa Crisostomo passed
away. As no payment appears to have been made on the subscription mentioned in the
foregoing letter, the Quezon College, Inc. presented a claim before the CFI of Bulacan
in her testate proceeding, for the collection of the sum of P20,000, representing the
value of the subscription to the capital stock of the Quezon College, Inc. which was
then opposed by the administrator of the estate.

Held:
No, Under article 1115 of the old Civil Code which provides as follows: "If the
fulfillment of the condition should depend upon the exclusive will of the debtor, the
conditional obligation shall be void.”
