determine the best way to salvage and protect the interest of its investors and creditors; and (5) study, review
and evaluate the proposed rehabilitation plan for RUBY.

Subsequently, two (2) rehabilitation plans were submitted to the SEC: the BENHAR/RUBY Rehabilitation
Plan of the majority stockholders led by Yu Kim Giang, and the Alternative Plan of the
minority stockholders represented by Miguel Lim (Lim).
Under the BENHAR/RUBY Plan, Benhar International, Inc. (BENHAR) — a domestic corporation engaged
in the importation and sale of vehicle spare parts which is wholly owned by the Yu family and headed by
Henry Yu, who is also a director and majority stockholder of RUBY — shall lend its P60 million credit line in
China Bank to RUBY, payable within ten (10) years. Moreover, BENHAR shall purchase the credits
of RUBY's creditors and mortgage RUBY's properties to obtain credit facilities for RUBY. Upon approval of
the rehabilitation plan, BENHAR shall control and manage RUBY's operations. For its service, BENHAR
shall receive a management fee equivalent to 7.5% of RUBY's net sales. TECIHD
The BENHAR/RUBY Plan was opposed by 40% of the stockholders, including Lim, a minority shareholder
of RUBY. ALFC, the biggest unsecured creditor of RUBYand chairman of the management committee, also
objected to the plan as it would transfer RUBY's assets beyond the reach and to the prejudice of its unsecured
creditors.
On the other hand, the Alternative Plan of RUBY's minority stockholders proposed to: (1) pay all RUBY's
creditors without securing any bank loan; (2) run and operate RUBY without charging management fees; (3)
buy-out the majority shares or sell their shares to the majority stockholders; (4) rehabilitate RUBY's two
plants; and (5) secure a loan at 25% interest, as against the 28% interest charged in the loan under the
BENHAR/RUBY Plan.
Both plans were endorsed by the SEC to the MANCOM for evaluation.
On October 28, 1988, the SEC Hearing Panel approved the BENHAR/RUBY Plan. The
minority stockholders thru Lim appealed to the SEC En Banc which, in its November 15, 1988 Order,
enjoined the implementation of the BENHAR/RUBY Plan. On December 20, 1988 after the expiration of the
temporary restraining order (TRO), the SEC En Banc granted the writ of preliminary injunction against the
enforcement of the BENHAR/RUBY Plan. BENHAR, Henry Yu, RUBY and Yu Kim Giang questioned the
issuance of the writ in their petition filed in the Court of Appeals (CA), docketed as CA-G.R. SP No. 16798.
The CA denied their appeal. 2 Upon elevation to this Court (G.R. No. L-88311) , we issued a minute resolution
dated February 28, 1990 denying the petition and upholding the injunction against the implementation of the
BENHAR/RUBY Plan.
Meanwhile, BENHAR paid off Far East Bank & Trust Company (FEBTC), one of RUBY's secured creditors.
