Revived Judgment

Section 6 of Rule 39 of the Revised Rules of Court provides that:
" Execution by motion or by independent action. A final and executory judgment or order may be executed on motion within five (5) years from the date of its entry. After the lapse of such time, and before it is barred by the statute of limitations, a judgment may be enforced by action. The revived judgment may also be enforced by motion within five (5) years from the date of its entry and thereafter by action before it is barred by the statute of limitations." (Cited in LRA Consulta No. 3366 dated November 22, 2002)
