ELI5— what this means for you

In a solidary obligation, the creditor may sue any one or all of the solidary debtors for the full amount. It is the debtor's problem to seek reimbursement from their co-debtors.

Official text — RA 386

The creditor may proceed against any one of the solidary debtors or some or all of them simultaneously. The demand made against one of them shall not be an obstacle to those which may subsequently be directed against the others, so long as the debt has not been fully collected. (1144a)
