Waivers – I waive in advance my right to make application of payment under Art. 1252 of the Civil Code of the Philippines (RA No. 386), especially in the case where I have more than one obligation in favor of SBC, regardless of the source and nature of the said obligations.

I hereby willingly, voluntarily, and with full knowledge of my right under the law, waive the right to confidentiality of information and authorize the Bank to disclose, divulge and reveal any such information relating to my subscription and Salary Advance, including events of default, for the purpose of, among others, client evaluation, credit reporting or verification and recovery of the obligation due and payable to the Bank under the terms and conditions of this credit agreement.

No notice to or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Separability Clause. – If any of these provisions are declared invalid or illegal, such invalidity or illegality shall not in any way affect the remaining provisions hereof or any vested right which may have already accrued in favor of SBC.
