118342 May 2026

The number most prominently refers to a landmark Philippine legal case, G.R. No. 118342 , titled Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) vs. Court of Appeals and Lydia Cuba .

The Supreme Court had to determine if the "Assignment of Leasehold Rights" was a legal transfer of ownership or merely a mortgage. If it were a mortgage, DBP's automatic takeover would constitute pactum commissorium —an agreement allowing a creditor to automatically own the collateral upon the debtor's default, which is strictly prohibited under Article 2088 of the Civil Code of the Philippines.

Merck Millipore uses 118342 as a catalog number for a Calibration Standard (3000 IR 10,000 NTU) used in water quality testing and turbidimeters.

While the legal case is the most significant "118342" topic, the number also appears in scientific and academic contexts:
