If a person acts as agent without authority, or exceeds their authority, the principal is NOT bound — unless the principal ratifies the act.

Official text — RA 386

If a person specially informs another or states by public advertisement that he has given a power of attorney to a third person, the latter thereby becomes a duly authorized agent, in the former case with respect to the person who received the special information, and in the latter case with regard to any person.

The power shall continue to be in full force until the notice is rescinded in the same manner in which it was given. (n)
