120 DARLUCIO

TRILLANA v. QUEZON COLLEGE

FACTS:
Damasa Crisostomo subscribed 200 shares of capital stock with a par value of P100 each
through a letter sent to the Board of Trustees of the Quezon College, enclosed with the
letter are a sum of money as her initial payment and her assurance of full payment after
she harvested fish. On October 26, 1948, Damasa Crisostomo passed away. As no
payment appears to have been made on the subscription mentioned in the foregoing
letter, the Quezon College, Inc. presented a claim before the CFI of Bulacan in her testate
proceeding, for the collection of the sum of P20,000, representing the value of the
subscription to the capital stock of the Quezon College, Inc. which was then opposed by
the administrator of the estate.

ISSUE: Whether or not the condition entered into by both parties are valid
RULING:
No. In view of proposal of Damasa to pay value of subscription after he has harvested
fish is a condition obviously dependent upon her sole will and therefore void. Art. 1182.
When the fulfillment of the condition depends upon the sole will of the debtor, the
conditional obligation shall be void.
