Q

  1. what if namatay yung debtor (debt of 300K), yung isang heir niya is nagbayad ng 100K, maeextinguish na ba yung pledge / mortgage?

A

NO (cannot be partially extinguished even if debt has been partially paid / partially received by debtor’s / creditor’s heir)

YES (eto yung XPN where several things given and each thing guarantees only a determinate portion of the credit → since nagbayad ng 50K, pwede makuha yung isa as ring or watch)
