A Philippine court declares Solstice Manufacturing, Inc. insolvent under RA 10142 and issues an Order of Liquidation appointing Atty. Lila Ramos as Liquidator. The order states: (1) all actions against Solstice are stayed; (2) all of Solstice’s assets vest in the Liquidator; (3) the Liquidator may marshal and realize the estate for the benefit of creditors. Before liquidation, Solstice had (a) an outstanding loan with Union Bank; (b) a warehouse lease with Pacific Properties; and (c) an exclusive distribution agreement with Zenith Foods granting Solstice the right to distribute Zenith’s products in the country for four years. After the Order, Union Bank files to collect the loan; Pacific Properties seeks to terminate the lease; Zenith Foods asserts that the distribution agreement remains in effect but is assignable to the estate. (a) Identify the central doctrine governing the effects of a liquidation order on pending actions and on the debtor’s assets. (b) Distinguish these effects from the aims and effects of a rehabilitation order. (c) Apply to the facts: what is the current status of Union Bank’s collection action, and what is the status of Pacific Properties’ lease and Zenith Foods’ distribution agreement? What steps can the Liquidator take regarding Union Bank’s claim, the lease, and the distribution agreement?
