Tom and Orly jointly owns in equal share an office building located in Taal Batangas which they contributed as headquarters of the company worth PhP 5 million. Orly, in addition contributed an additional amount of PhP 2 million in the company.

Gene, Ula and Nicolo contributed PhP 6 million each although Nicolo was able to complete his contribution by contributing additional 2 million two years after the formation of the partnership.

For the first year, the partners did not agree on the distribution of income not knowing how the business will perform on its first year. For the succeeding year, the income will be distributed equally.

  • 2 trucks which ware used to transport circus equipment
  • 2 pairs of elephants
  • 2 pairs of giraffe
  • 1 hectare of farm land in Taal Batangas to house the circus animals

Without informing the other partners, Patrick also purchased a service vehicle which was used as transportation vehicle of circus performers and were occassionally rented out for PhP 5,000/day for other tours. In 2019, Patrick used the car to tour Ilocos for 20 days

  4. A beach resort was purchased from the personal funds of Patrick; and,
