Commercial Law, 2015 Bar — Question VII-A

ESSAY

A foreign company has been exporting goods to a Philippine company for several years now.

The Philippine company interposed the defense that the foreign company was doing business in the Philippines without a license; hence, could not sue before a Philippine court. Is this defense tenable? Explain your answer.
