    ANSWER

    DEFENDANT ARNOLD, through the undersigned counsel unto this


    Honorable Court, hereby respectfully states that:

    1) Paragraphs one (1) to six (6) of the Complaint are admitted;

    2) Paragraph five (6) to nine (9) of the Complaint are denied insofar
    as they allege that the defendant failed to pay the sum of money when in fact

    1) The obligation has been paid;

    2) The Plaintiff and Defendant has not seen each other since the
    former has received the full payment;

    3) The cause of action has prescribed from its date.

    By way of counterclaim, defendant alleges that:


    1) By virtue of this unwarranted and malicious act initiated by the
    Plaintiff, Defendant was forced to hire the services of a lawyer to defend his
    rights and interests for a professional fee of Twenty thousand Pesos
    (₱20,000.00) and Five Thousand Pesos (₱5,000.00) per court appearance;

    WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed to this


    Honorable Court the dismissal of the complaint for lack of merit with costs
    against the plaintiff; and that the defendant’s compulsory counterclaim be
    granted, i.e., attorney’s fees of Twenty-Thousand Pesos (₱20,000.00), and
    Five Thousand Pesos (₱5,000.00) per court appearance and costs of suit.

    Other reliefs just and equitable under the premises are likewise prayed
    for.
