It is the practice of almost all banks in the Philippines that when they grant a loan, the interest
for one year is automatically deducted from the principal amount upon release of money to a

approved at an interest rate of 14% of which P11,200 was deducted and you were given a check
of P68,800. Since you have to pay the amount of P80,000 one year after, what then will be the
