	GR NO. 158674 2005-10-17	LAPRECIOSISIMA CAGUNGUN v. PLANTERS DEVELOPMENT BANK CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
On the matter of attorney's fees and expenses of litigation, it is settled that the reasons or grounds for the award thereof must be set forth in the decision of the court.[26] An award of attorney's fees, being an exception from the policy of not putting a premium or a penalty on the right to litigate, has since been limited to the grounds specified by law.[27] Article 2208[28] of the Civil Code enumerates the instances where attorney's fees and expenses of litigation can be recovered.
