- Every monetary debt may be split unilaterally
- Divisibility does not itself compel partial acceptance; the separate rule on integrity of payment remains relevant
- Money is always physically indivisible
- The creditor must accept any token amount as full payment
- The debt is extinguished by offering one peso
