| A writ of preliminary attachment is defined as a provisional remedy issued upon order of the court where an action is pending to be levied upon the property or properties of the defendant therein, the same to be held thereafter by the sheriff as security for the satisfaction of whatever judgment that might be secured in the said action by the attaching creditor against the defendant.[10] However, it should be resorted to only when necessary and as a last remedy because it exposes the debtor to humiliation and annoyance.[11] It must be granted only on concrete and specific grounds and not merely on general averments quoting the words of the rules.[12] Since attachment is harsh, extraordinary, and summary in nature,[13] the rules on the application of a writ of attachment must be strictly construed in favor of the defendant. | |||||
