About this document
Liability Under Article 2189 Civil Code by Peter John T. Navarro is a document available to read on EtoBox.
City of Manila v Teotico involved a man who fell into an uncovered and unlit manhole on a road in Manila. He suffered injuries and sued the City of Manila for damages. The Supreme Court ruled that under the Civil Code, cities are liable for damages caused by defective roads under their control, even if the road was technically a national road. The court also found that the city had control over the road in question and was negligent in its maintenance, making it liable to pay damages to the injured man.
