LOSS OR IMPOSSIBILITY
OCCEÑA VS. COURT OF APPEALS – ANSWER Petitioners who are landowners had
a subdivision contract with Tropical Homes Inc, for the development of their land.
Tropical Homes filed a complaint for modification of the terms and conditions of their
contract, alleging that due to the increase in the price of oil and its derivatives and the
concomitant worldwide spiralling of prices of all commodities including basic raw
materials for the development work, the cost of development has risen to levels which
are unanticipated, unimagined, and not within the remotest contemplation of the parties
at the time the agreement was made, such that the conditions and factors which formed
the original basis of the contract have been totally changed.

of such contingencies arising, it is his duty to provide therefore in the contract.

need for the electric light posts of the party of CASURECO it being understood that this
contract shall be terminated when for any reason whatsoever, CASURECO is forced to
stop, abandon its operation as a public service and it becomes necessary to remove the
electric lightpost." CASURECO filed a petition for reformation of contract with the RTC
of Naga City on the ground that the agreement it entered into with NATELCO has
become one-sided, inequitous and disadvantageous to the former. The trial court ruled
in favor of CASURECO. The CA affirmed the trial court's decision but on a different
