The University of the Philippines College of Law is publishing the second edition of my textbook on credit transactions. Target date of availability at the UP Law Center is January 2016, in time for the second semester, when the course is taught at UP Law. The Preface to the second edition follows:
Credit Transaction: Notes and Cases is part of the Centennial Textbook Project of the U.P. College of Law. It is intended as a guide for the course on credit transactions taught at the College.
Generally, the articles cited in this textbook are the articles of the Civil Code of the Philippines. When provisions of special laws are cited, the first cited provision is preceded by the title of the special law.
The provisions of the cited laws are not presented based on article or section number. Instead they are discussed based on subject matter, and are repeated or excerpted, when necessary, without any change in the actual language of the law, in an effort to aid comprehension. Moreover, the provisions are reformatted, again without any change in language. The reformatting, itself an annotation, is intended to emphasize important concepts, clarify meanings, and assist in the understanding of the law.
