“(d) While plaintiff is a foreign corporation without license to
transact business in the Philippines, it does not follow that it has
no capacity to bring the present action. Such license is not
necessary because it is not engaged in business in the Philippines.
In fact, the transaction herein involved is the first business
undertaken by plaintiff in the Philippines, although on a previous
occasion plaintiff’s vessel was chartered by the National Rice and
Corn Corporation to carry rice cargo from abroad to the
Philippines. These two isolated transactions do not constitute
engaging in business in the Philippines within the purview of
Sections 68 and 69 of the Corporation Law so as to bar plaintiff
from seeking redress in our courts (MarshallWells Co. v. Henry
W. Elser & Co. 49 Phil. 70; Pacific Vegetable Oil Corporation v.
Angel O. Singson, G.R. No. L7917, April 29, 1955; also cited in
Facilities Management Corporation v. De la Osa, 89 SCRA 131,
138).”
