Calvo v. UCPB General Insurance Case Digest
Calvo v. UCPB General Insurance
G.R. No. 148496 March 19, 2002

Facts: Petitioner Virgines Calvo, owner of Transorient Container Terminal Services, Inc. (TCTSI), and a custom broker, entered into a contract with San Miguel Corporation (SMC) for the transfer of 114 reels of semi-chemical fluting paper and 124 reels of kraft liner board from the port area to the Tabacalera Compound, Ermita, Manila. The cargo was insured by respondent UCPB General Insurance Co., Inc.

On July 14, 1990, contained in 30 metal vans, arrived in Manila on board “M/V Hayakawa Maru”. After 24 hours, they were unloaded from vessel to the custody of the arrastre operator, Manila Port Services, Inc. From July 23 to 25, 1990, petitioner, pursuant to her contract with SMC, withdrew the cargo from the arrastre operator and delivered it to SMC’s warehouse in Manila. On July 25, the goods were inspected by Marine Cargo Surveyors, reported that 15 reels of the semi-chemical fluting paper were “wet/stained/torn” and 3 reels of kraft liner board were also torn. The damages cost P93,112.00.

SMC collected the said amount from respondent UCPB under its insurance contract. Respondent on the other hand, as a subrogee of SMC, brought a suit against petitioner in RTC, Makati City. On December 20, 1995, the RTC rendered judgment finding petitioner liable for the damage to the shipment. The decision was affirmed by the CA.

Issue: Whether or not Calvo is a common carrier?

Held: In this case the contention of the petitioner, that he is not a common carrier but a private carrier, has no merit.

Article 1732 makes no distinction between one whose principal business activity is the carrying of persons or goods or both, and one who does such carrying only as ancillary activity. Article 1732 also carefully avoids making any distinction between a person or enterprise offering transportation service on a regular or scheduled basis and one offering such

Sun Ship went into contract with C&H on November 14, 1979 and agreed upon the delivery of the vessel on June 30, 1981, one and three quarter years, for the agreed upon amount of $20,405,000 . According to Cheeseman (2013) a liquidated damages clause, defined as “damages that parties to a contract agree in advance should be paid if the contract is breached”, was included and called for $17,000 per day for each day that the vessel was not delivered. Additional details from Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit 1986 indicate that C&H went into another agreement with a company by the name of “Halter” for the purchase of "one oceangoing catamaran tug boat" that was, unbeknownst to Sun Ship, supposed to connect with the vessel that Sun Ship was contracted to deliver. Sun completed the vessel, which was…

    Akamai Technology operated the content delivery network. Its first service, FreeFlow, facilitated the delivery of bandwidth-intensive page elements. A content provider could tag the object that it wanted to serve over the Akamai network. After tagging, websites could be over 10 times faster and be protected against sudden traffic bursts. FreeFlow could reduce the content providers’ payments to ISPs for bandwidth, since serving page elements from Akamai’s servers meant that an average 50% less data was sent from the website’s origin servers. ISPs realized transit bandwidth cost savings as well as data-delivery performance benefits valued by the content providers. That’s why Akamai was able to obtain data center space and transit bandwidth free of charge from smaller ISPs, even though data center space was constrained and costly, and subsidized many larger ISPs for space and bandwidth.…
