Section 2
SEC. 2. No such company shall do business under the provisions of this Act within the Philippine Islands until it shall by a written power of attorney appoint some person residing at the city of Manila, Island of Luzon, upon whom may be served all lawful process against such company, and who shall be authorized to enter an appearance in its behalf. A copy of such power of attorney, duly certified and authenticate, shall be filed with the clerk of the Supreme Court of the Philippine Islands, which copy, or a certified copy thereof, shall be legal evidence in all controversies arising under this Act. If any such agent shall be removed, resign, or die, become insane, or otherwise incapable of acting, it shall be the duty of such company to appoint another agent in his place as hereinbefore prescribed, and until such appointment shall have been made, or during the absence of any agent of such company from said city of Manila, service of process may be upon the clerk of said Supreme Court, with like effect as upon such agent appointed by the company. The officer executing such process upon such clerk shall immediately transmit a copy thereof by mail to the company and state such fact in his return. A judgment, decree, or order of a court entered or made after service of process as aforesaid shall be as valid and binding on such company as if such company's said agent had been personally served with process in said city. The provisions of this section shall also be applicable to all actions brought upon any official undertaking and obligations made by such corporation in the Philippine Islands.
