Practice question
Three solidary debtors have equal internal shares in a valid P90,000 debt. Dan pays all P90,000 when due. Eli is insolvent and cannot reimburse his P30,000 share; Fay is solvent. Under Article 1217, how is Eli's uncollectible internal share allocated between Dan and Fay?
- Entirely to Dan because he paid first.
- Entirely to Fay because she paid nothing initially.
- P15,000 to each, proportionately to their equal shares.
- Entirely to the creditor after full payment.
- It becomes an additional P30,000 debt owed by each.
