Technogas Vs PNB (Dacion en Pago Art.1255)

Petitioner obtained a loan from respondent Philippine National Bank secured by real estate mortgage. When petitioner could not pay on maturity dates, the loan was restructured several times at petitioner's request. When respondent sent collection letters, petitioner proposed dacion en pago or assignment of the mortgaged property in payment, which respondent rejected. The Supreme Court ruled that dacion en pago requires acceptance by the creditor under the Civil Code, so the unaccepted proposal did not novate the mortgage contract or suspend its execution. The auction sale of the property was thus valid.
