i. Liability of Promoter

Liability of Promoter

The supplied primary sources do not contain statutory provisions or judicial doctrines addressing the liability of a promoter under Philippine corporation law. Instead, the provided statutes govern risk retention and reinsurance limits for non-life insurance companies under Republic Act No. 106071, the determination and apportionment of disposable surplus in life insurance funds under Republic Act No. 6602, and the privatization framework for generation assets of the National Power Corporation under Republic Act No. 91363.

Similarly, the supplied judicial decisions address unrelated subjects: the proper remedy to challenge criminal determinations of the Ombudsman in Piccio v. Ombudsman, G.R. No. 232712, 28 April 20264; the employer-employee relationship of security personnel and challenges to indigent status in Shopping Center Management Corporation v. Galutera, G.R. No. 250952, 23 April 20265; and procedural standing and the destination principle of value-added tax in Tayam v. Recto, G.R. No. 280898, 22 April 20266. Consequently, there is no supplied primary authority defining or governing the pre-incorporation or contractual liabilities of a corporate promoter.
