Note:
Piercing the veil of corporate entity applies to determination of
liability NOT of jurisdiction.
This is so because the doctrine of piercing the veil of corporate fiction
comes to play only during the trial of the case after the court has already
acquired jurisdiction over the corporation. Hence, before this doctrine can be
applied, based on the evidence presented, it is imperative that the court
must first have the jurisdiction over the corporation.
