| The Martins point out that paragraph X of the contract forbade the pre-termination of the lease. But, as the Court held in Manila International Airport Authority v. Gingoyon,[20] the various stipulations in a contract must be read together and given effect as their meanings warrant. Here, paragraph X, which barred pre-termination of the lease agreement, cannot be read in isolation. Paragraph VIII gave DBS and the Martins the right to rescind the agreement in the event the property becomes untenantable due to natural causes, including floods, unless proper repairs and rehabilitation are carried out. | |||||
