Practice question
The contract designates a Cebu office for payment. Counsel drafts a demand requiring payment exclusively at a new distant location, claiming the letter itself amends the contract without the debtor’s agreement. No legal ground for a change is stated. Which revision is best?
- Use the agreed place, or present the new location as a proposed arrangement subject to agreement.
- State that every demand unilaterally rewrites the place of payment.
- Threaten automatic imprisonment for refusing the new location.
- Delete the agreed term and conceal the change.
- State that Article1251 always makes the creditor’s new address controlling.
