Practice question

A debtor validly promises to repay P15,000 immediately, without any condition, period or intended extension. The debtor asks the creditor to wait solely because a celebration is approaching. Does that unilateral request suspend demandability?
  1. Yes, any request creates a binding period
  2. No, the pure debt remains immediately demandable absent a binding modification
  3. Yes, until the debtor announces readiness
  4. Yes, because all money obligations are conditional
  5. No, because the creditor automatically owns the debtor's home
