G.R. No. 204866, January 21, 2015

RUKS KONSULT AND CONSTRUCTION, Petitioner, v. ADWORLD SIGN AND ADVERTISING


CORPORATION* AND TRANSWORLD MEDIA ADS, INC., Respondents.

DECISION

PERLAS-BERNABE, J.:

Assailed in this petition for review on certiorari1 are the Decision2 dated November 16, 2011 and the
Resolution3 dated December 10, 2012 of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. CV No. 94693 which
affirmed the Decision4 dated August 25, 2009 of the Regional Trial Court of Makati City, Branch 142 (RTC)
in Civil Case No. 03-1452 holding, inter alia, petitioner Ruks Konsult and Construction (Ruks) and
respondent Transworld Media Ads, Inc. (Transworld) jointly and severally liable to respondent Adworld
Sign and Advertising Corporation (Adworld) for damages. cralawred

The Facts

The instant case arose from a complaint for damages filed by Adworld against Transworld and Comark
International Corporation (Comark) before the RTC.5 In the complaint, Adworld alleged that it is the
DebtKollect Company, Inc. owner of a 75 ft. x 60 ft. billboard structure located at EDSA Tulay, Guadalupe, Barangka Mandaluyong,
which was misaligned and its foundation impaired when, on August 11, 2003, the adjacent billboard
structure owned by Transworld and used by Comark collapsed and crashed against it. Resultantly, on
August 19, 2003, Adworld sent Transworld and Comark a letter demanding payment for the repairs of its
billboard as well as loss of rental income. On August 29, 2003, Transworld sent its reply, admitting the
damage caused by its billboard structure on Adworld’s billboard, but nevertheless, refused and failed to
pay the amounts demanded by Adworld. As Adworld’s final demand letter also went unheeded, it was
constrained to file the instant complaint, praying for damages in the aggregate amount of P474,204.00,
comprised of P281,204.00 for materials, P72,000.00 for labor, and P121,000.00 for indemnity for loss of
income.6chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary

In its Answer with Counterclaim, Transworld averred that the collapse of its billboard structure was due to
extraordinarily strong winds that occurred instantly and unexpectedly, and maintained that the damage
caused to Adworld’s billboard structure was hardly noticeable. Transworld likewise filed a Third-Party
Complaint against Ruks, the company which built the collapsed billboard structure in the former’s favor. It
was alleged therein that the structure constructed by Ruks had a weak and poor foundation not suited for
billboards, thus, prone to collapse, and as such, Ruks should ultimately be held liable for the damages
caused to Adworld’s billboard structure.7 chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary
For its part, Comark denied liability for the damages caused to Adworld’s billboard structure, maintaining
ChanRobles Intellectual Property that it does not have any interest on Transworld’s collapsed billboard structure as it only contracted the
use of the same. In this relation, Comark prayed for exemplary damages from Transworld for
Division unreasonably including it as a party-defendant in the complaint.8 chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary

Lastly, Ruks admitted that it entered into a contract with Transworld for the construction of the latter’s
billboard structure, but denied liability for the damages caused by its collapse. It contended that when
Transworld hired its services, there was already an existing foundation for the billboard and that it merely
finished the structure according to the terms and conditions of its contract with the latter.9 chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary

The RTC Ruling

In a Decision10 dated August 25, 2009, the RTC ultimately ruled in Adworld’s favor, and accordingly,
declared, inter alia, Transworld and Ruks jointly and severally liable to Adworld in the amount of
P474,204.00 as actual damages, with legal interest from the date of the filing of the complaint until full
payment thereof, plus attorney’s fees in the amount of P50,000.00.11 chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary

The RTC found both Transworld and Ruks negligent in the construction of the collapsed billboard as they
knew that the foundation supporting the same was weak and would pose danger to the safety of the
motorists and the other adjacent properties, such as Adworld’s billboard, and yet, they did not do
anything to remedy the situation.12 In particular, the RTC explained that Transworld was made aware by
Ruks that the initial construction of the lower structure of its billboard did not have the proper foundation
and would require additional columns and pedestals to support the structure. Notwithstanding, however,
Ruks proceeded with the construction of the billboard’s upper structure and merely assumed that
Transworld would reinforce its lower structure.13 The RTC then concluded that these negligent acts were
the direct and proximate cause of the damages suffered by Adworld’s billboard.14 chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary

Aggrieved, both Transworld and Ruks appealed to the CA. In a Resolution dated February 3, 2011, the CA
dismissed Transworld’s appeal for its failure to file an appellant’s brief on time.15 Transworld elevated its
case before the Court, docketed as G.R. No. 197601.16 However, in a Resolution17 dated November 23,
2011, the Court declared the case closed and terminated for failure of Transworld to file the intended
petition for review on certiorari within the extended reglementary period. Subsequently, the Court issued
an Entry of Judgment18 dated February 22, 2012 in G.R. No. 197601 declaring the Court’s November 23,
2011 Resolution final and executory.

The CA Ruling

In a Decision19 dated November 16, 2011, the CA denied Ruks’s appeal and affirmed the ruling of the
RTC. It adhered to the RTC’s finding of negligence on the part of Transworld and Ruks which brought
January-2015 Jurisprudence about the damage to Adworld’s billboard. It found that Transworld failed to ensure that Ruks will comply
with the approved plans and specifications of the structure, and that Ruks continued to install and finish
