Sure! Here are more detailed explanations on the key points regarding the "Negotiability of an Instrument" under Act No. * (Negotiable Instruments Law) in the Philippines:

Form Requirements:
- Writing and Signature: The instrument must be in writing and signed by the maker or drawer. This ensures that there is clear evidence of the intention to create a negotiable instrument.

Unconditional Promise or Order:
- Unconditionality: The promise or order must be unconditional, meaning it must not be subject to any conditions or contingencies. It should be a straightforward commitment to pay.
- Sum Certain in Money: The amount to be paid must be certain and not subject to calculations or conditions. This ensures clarity and certainty in the financial obligation.

Payable on Demand or at a Definite Time:
- On Demand: The instrument can be payable on demand, meaning the holder can present it for payment at any time.
- Definite Time: Alternatively, the instrument can be payable at a fixed or determinable future time. This could be a specific date or a time period after a certain event.

Payable to Order or Bearer:
- To Order: The instrument must be payable to a specific person or their order. This means the named payee can endorse the instrument to another party.
- To Bearer: The instrument can also be payable to bearer, meaning whoever holds the instrument can present it for payment. This feature allows for easier transferability.
