accepted by the plaintiff subject to the terms and conditions which subject however, to
further negotiation.

5. In consideration of their communication, the Plaintiff - Vendee and Defendant -

Vendor, had reached an agreement on May 25, 2017 as the terms of payment and the
purchase price in the sale of the subject property. They had agreed that Plaintiff-Vendee

Damages for besmirched reputation and ill-fame to the namesake of the Plaintiff
amounting to Php50,000.00 and Exemplary Damages to deter others from doing the
