Tinga, J.:

This petition for review[1] filed by the duly designated air carrier of the Kuwait Government assails a decision[2] dated 25 October 2002 of the Makati Regional Trial Court (RTC), Branch 60, ordering Kuwait Airways to pay respondent Philippine Airlines the amount of US$1,092,690.00, plus interest, attorney's fees, and cost of suit.[3] The principal liability represents the share to Philippine Airlines in the revenues the foreign carrier had earned for the uplift of passengers and cargo in its flights to and from Kuwait and Manila which the foreign carrier committed to remit as a contractual obligation.
