Plaintiff, ABC Company, by and through counsel, unto
this Honorable Court, respectfully avers that: 1. Plaintiff ABC Company is a duly registered corporation under the laws of the Philippines, with principal place of business in Lahug, Cebu City, operating vessels for public transport of cargo. 2. Defendant, DEF is duly registered corporation under the laws of the Philippines, with principal place of business in Mabolo, Cebu City, engaged in the business of selling Crude Oil. 3. That Plaintiff and Defendant have been conducting business for a long time. 4. That since 2012, Plaintiff and Defendant have signed a contract, as presented in Annex A, stating that Defendant is to deliver 100 gallons of Crude Oil monthly to fuel ABC’s ships for a consideration worth 5,000,000.00 pesos. The contract has since been renewed yearly and has been understood to be automatically renewed yearly, unless, the contract be annulled by either parties through negotiations. 5. That the receipts of past transactions in Annex B, reflect the consistent performance of ABC’s advance payment of consideration. The receipts date from year 2012 to 2019. 6. That these receipts are duly received and signed by DEF Company’s Treasurer. 7. That on January 2019, DEF failed to comply with its obligation and only managed to deliver 20% of that month, despite advance payment and consistent demand of the Plaintiff, ABC Company, to deliver the remaining 80%. 8. As a result of non-performance of DEF Company, ABC Company suffered grave damage due to the ceasing of the operation of its ships from lack of supply of crude oil. Further, upon the hasty acquisition of another source, ABC Company acquired 45% more expenses than what would normally be spent for Crude Oil, thus exceeding its monthly budget and causing to tap to another source, disrupting over-all company operations and finances. Receipts of which are attached as Annex C.
PRAYER
WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is
respectfully prayed that, after trial, judgment be rendered against Defendant ordering them to deliver 100 gallons of Crude Oil and for Actual Damages amounting to 2,250,000.00 pesos for over-payment of Crude Oil and 5,000,000.00 pesos for loss of business profit during the time of non-operation of the ships.
Plaintiff prays for other just and equitable
relief in the premises.
