In a contract requiring delivery of a car to a creditor in a designated city, where must delivery take place if the contract designates Quezon City?

• A. Pasay City
• B. Makati City
• C. Manila City
• D. Quezon City

Answer: (D)

When a contract fixes a specific place for performance, that place governs where the delivery must occur. If the agreement designates a particular city for delivery, the goods should be delivered in that city, not elsewhere. In this case, the contract names Quezon City as the place of delivery, so the car must be delivered there. Delivering in Pasay, Makati, or Manila would not satisfy the contract’s terms because the agreed-upon location for performance is Quezon City. The designated city serves as the point where handover to the creditor takes place.
