A Philippine court declares Orion Textiles, Inc. insolvent and issues an Order of Liquidation appointing Atty. Ramon Dizon as Liquidator. The order provides: (1) all actions against Orion are stayed; (2) all of Orion’s assets vest in the Liquidator for administration and realization; and (3) the Liquidator may marshal and realize the estate for the benefit of creditors. Before liquidation, Orion had: (a) a secured loan with Apex Bank; (b) a factory lease with Harbor Logistics; and (c) a distribution agreement with Global Foods granting Orion the right to distribute Global Foods’ products in the country for five years. After the Order, Apex Bank files to collect the loan; Harbor Logistics seeks to terminate the lease; Global 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 Apex Bank’s collection action, and what is the status of Harbor Logistics’ lease and Global Foods’ distribution agreement? What steps can the Liquidator take regarding Apex Bank’s claim, the lease, and the distribution agreement?

Central doctrine: rehabilitation is the operative remedy; RA 10142 uses liquidation, but the objective is to preserve the going concern; the Liquidator cannot unilaterally alter contracts; Apex Bank's claim would be restructured under a rehabilitation framework. Central doctrine: liquidation order terminates all executory contracts by operation of law; the Liquidator cannot preserve or assume any contracts; the bank's claim would be treated as unsecured; the lease ends automatically; the distribution agreement terminates. Central doctrine: only actions against the debtor are stayed; assets remain with the debtor and do not vest in the Liquidator; Apex Bank may proceed to collect; Harbor Logistics' lease remains enforceable; Global Foods' distribution remains in force and cannot be assigned to the estate. Central doctrine: automatic stay of actions against the debtor and vesting of the debtor's assets in the Liquidator, with power to marshal and realize the estate; this is distinct from rehabilitation, which seeks to revive the business; Apex Bank's collection action is stayed; Harbor Logistics' lease may be assumed or rejected by the Liquidator; Global Foods' distribution agreement remains in effect but is assignable to the estate; The Liquidator can determine how to address Apex Bank's claim, the lease, and the distribution agreement.
