They argue that the Breakdown of Account which the RTC used as a basis in awarding the
claim, as affirmed by the CA - is hearsay since the
person who prepared it, Ramoncito P. Puyat, was
not presented in court to authenticate it. They also
point to the absence of the awards computation in
the RTC ruling, arguing that assuming they are
still indebted to the respondent, the specific
amount
of
their
indebtedness
remains
undetermined, thus the need for an accounting to
determine their exact liability.

indemnification in the amount of P112,876.60 plus
interest at 12%per annum from June 18, 1990

and P20,000.00 as attorneys fees be paid to her.
In his defense, Manlapaz claims that it was his
fellow incorporator/director Edgar Alcansaje who
was in-charge with the daily operations of the
Quickbite outlets; that when Alcansaje left WPM,
the remaining directors were compelled to hire the
respondent as manager; that the respondent had
entered into the renovation agreement with CLN
in her own personal capacity; that when he found
the amount quoted by CLN too high, he instructed
the respondent to either renegotiate for a lower
price or to look for another contractor; that since
the respondent had exceeded her authority as
agent of WPM, the renovation agreement should
only bind her; and that since WPM has a separate
and distinct personality, Manlapaz cannot be
made liable for the respondents claim.

Pasteur Philippines, Incorporated (another

4, 2004.5
On December 7, 2004, Abbott formally offered

"The presumption is that a contractor is a laboronly contractor unless he overcomes the burden
of proving that it has substantial capital,
investment, tools, and the like." 52 While ALPS
Transportation is not the contractor itself, since it
is invoking Contact Tours status as a legitimate
job contractor in order to avoid liability, it bears the
burden of proving that Contact Tours is an
independent contractor.53
