I really appreciate you Atty Dean for all the videos you uploaded in Youtube. You made us, who love studying law, inspired to continue learnin it outside the formal way because of our financial situation, though we really wanted the formal way. I really learned a lot, learnin it thru those awesome videos you uploaded to Youtube. I really struggled in my few months understandin it. But because of my perseverance, I now improved. I am just like you who has a heaart problem, but this cannot stop me lovin it. Thank you so much Atty Dean Bisquera❤️❤️❤️. I am praying that God will provide you and your wife more years of healthy life for you to continue uploading video lessons about law.

Hello Dean. In number 15, is it not that the problem was based on the actual case of Philippine Heart Center vs. Quezon City, G.R. No. 225409, March 11, 2020. In this case which has the same facts as that in the problem, the Court ruled that the Republic and its instrumentalities, including a government hospital, retain their exempt status despite leasing out their properties to private individuals. The fact that a government hospital was short of alienating its properties to private parties in relation to its mandate does not divest of its exemption from levy. Applying that ruling in the problem, PMC shall not be held liable for Real Property Tax because it is a government instrumentality, thus, exempt from paying the Real Property Tax. However, the said properties are still subject to RPT but the same can be demanded from the beneficial users thereof.

Thank you for this very informative discussion of the recently concluded bar exam, Dean. I wish I could be as accurate and precise as your response because, despite my interest in the subject and our Professor's mastery of the subject, I find it extremely difficult to deal with Political Law. Salute.
