Practice question
Three solidary tortfeasors have equal internal shares in PHP300,000. A pays the full debt. B can reimburse, but C is insolvent and cannot pay the PHP100,000 share. Under Article1217’s proportional insolvency rule, absent other adjustments, how is C’s share borne between A and B?
- PHP50,000 each, so B’s total reimbursement to A is PHP150,000
- Entirely by A, with no statutory sharing
- Entirely by the victim after full satisfaction
- C’s insolvency revives the whole victim claim
- B owes PHP300,000 and A bears nothing
