| As a general rule, a corporation -- being an artificial person without feelings, emotions and senses, and having existence only in legal contemplation -- is not entitled to moral damages,[160] because it cannot experience physical suffering and mental anguish.[161] However, for breach of the fiduciary duty required of a bank, a corporate client may claim such damages when its good reputation is besmirched by such breach, and social humiliation results therefrom.[162] CASA was unable to prove that BPI had debased the good reputation of,[163] and consequently caused incalculable embarrassment to, the former. CASA's mere allegation or supposition thereof, without any sufficient evidence on record,[164] is not enough. | |||||
