AMENDING CERTAIN SECTION OF REPUBLIC ACT NUMBERED FOUR HUNDRED ONE, SO
AS TO EXTEND THE PERIOD WITHIN WHICH VOLUNTARY PAYMENT WITHOUT

WITHIN WHICH INTERESTS PAID SHALL BE APPLIED IN PAYMENT OF THE
PRINCIPAL OBLIGATION |
| Section 1.
Subsection (d), section two of Republic Act Numbered Four hundred one,
as amended, is further amended to read as follows: "(d) When the
debtor was unable to pay an obligation which became due and demandable,
or the interest which should have been paid during the said period
because the assets of the creditor were under the control of the enemy
and/or administered through the so-called Enemy Alien Property
Custodian or other enemy instrumentality, and the debtor paid the
interests to it in the belief that such payment was valid and effective
payment to the creditor or because of fear that failure to comply with
the demand would lead to reprisals on his person or
property.
"If the debtor, however, makes a voluntary payment of the entire pre-war unpaid principal obligation on or before December thirty-one, nineteen hundred and fifty-seven, the interests on such principal obligation corresponding from January one, nineteen hundred and forty-six to the date of payment are likewise hereby condoned: Provided, however, That the debtor shall have paid at least ten per centum of the entire pre-war unpaid principal obligation within three months from the date of the approval of this Act: Provided, further, That in case any pre-war obligation is subject of any court litigation, then all interests thereon shall be condoned if the entire outstanding pre-war obligation shall be paid within sixty days from the finality of judgment against the doctor." Section 2. Section three of the same Act, as amended, is further amended to read as follows: "Section 3. All
interests paid on debts or obligations outstanding on the eighth day of
December, nineteen hundred and forty-one corresponding to the period
from the first day of January, nineteen hundred and forty-two to the
thirty-first day of December, nineteen hundred and forty- five, by the
debtors mentioned in section one hereof shall be applied in payment of
the principal obligation if the same is still outstanding and if the
