Practice question
A defendant invokes only the possibility that someone might someday sue abroad, with no actual foreign proceeding or established basis for the asserted multiplicity concern. What does PNCC's quoted approach require?
- Every imagined foreign suit automatically defeats the Philippine action.
- A private prediction conclusively proves foreign jurisdiction.
- No facts are ever relevant to convenience.
- A factually established basis rather than merely hypothetical multiple fora.
- The Philippine court must surrender jurisdiction on a rumor.
