    Description:

    The precursor of the present code is the Civil Code of 1889. It was imposed by the Spanish Authorities during its occupation in the country. It was enforced through the Royal Decree of July 24, 1889. The Spanish Governor at that time was Valeriano Weyler. In 1940 President Manuel L. Quezon made an effort to revise the code by creating a committee.
    It did not finish its job due to the outbreak of the World War II. Post War Administration led by President Manuel Roxas in 1947 created the code commission. It was chaired by Dean Jorge Bocobo of the U.P. College of Law. Prominent members of the commission were Francisco Capistrano and Arturo Tolentino. It was approved on June 18, 1949 by the First Congress of the Philippines during its Fourth Session, it is numbered as Republic Act 386. It took effect on August 30, 1950. The Senate President at that time was Jose Avelino (senate president from 1946-1949). The Code was finally drafted and approved by Congress during the presidency of Elpidio Quirino. President Roxas died on April 15, 1948, he was succeeded by his vice president on April 17, 1948 who finished his vision of a new civil code.
    In the case of Lara vs. del Rosario, Justice Montemayor speaking in behalf of the Supreme Court En Banc said:
    “As to the month pay (mesada) under article 302 of the Code of Commerce, article 2270 of the new Civil Code (Republic Act 386) appears to have repealed said Article 302 when it repealed the provisions of the Code of Commerce governing Agency. This repeal took place on August 30, 1950, when the new Civil Code went into effect, that is, one year after its publication in the Official Gazette.” (Manuel Lara, et. al. vs. Petronilo Del Rosario, G.R.
