ELI5— what this means for you

For a donation to be valid: (1) the donor must intend to benefit the donee, (2) the thing or right is given gratuitously, (3) the donee accepts. If the donee doesn't accept, there is no donation.

Official text — RA 386

When a person gives to another a thing or right on account of the latter's merits or of the services rendered by him to the donor, provided they do not constitute a demandable debt, or when the gift imposes upon the donee a burden which is less than the value of the thing given, there is also a donation.
