Mr. Henry Ching and Mr. Alberto Ang are golf buddies.

In one of their games, they

got to talking about Mr. Ching’s property in Makati which he has been wanting to sell
to pay off his outstanding debts. Because Mr. Ang wanted to help out his golf buddy,
and also because he saw that this was a good opportunity, he offered to purchase the
property consisting of a 10-floor office building and the 500 sqm lot on which it is
constructed. On January 1, 2018, they entered into a Contract to Sell, by which Mr.
Ang promised to purchase the property for P45M, payable as follows:
1. Down Payment of P20M via Manager’s Check dated the day of the Contract to
Sell
2. The balance of P25M in five (5) quarterly installments of P5M each, beginning
April 1, 2018, paid through post-dated checks

They also stipulated in their Contract To Sell that upon the execution of the Deed of
Sale, Mr. Ching will hand over all documents necessary to effect the transfer of the
property in the name of Mr. Ang, including but not limited to the the Owner’s
DuplicateCopy of Title and the Tax Declaration.

Upon full payment of the subject property on July 1, 2019, Mr. Ching promised to
execute a Deed of Absolute Sale, transferring all his interests in the subject property
toMr. Ang. They also agreed that Mr. Ching only has one (1) month from the
execution of Deed of Absolute Sale to fully vacate the property.

Mr. Ang paid in full the purchase price. The parties also executed the Deed of
Absolute Sale dated July 1, 2019. However, Mr. Ching was not able to turn over the
Owner’s Duplicate Copy of Title to the property because he forgot to bring it.

By September 1, 2019, Mr. Ching still has not vacated the property and has not turned
over the Owner’s Duplicate Copy of Title to the subject property. Hence, Mr. Ang,
with the help of his lawyer, sent a Demand Letter dated October 1, 2019.
for Mr. Ching to vacate the premises and to turn over the Owner’s Duplicate Copy of
Title.

Seeing as Mr. Ching has not vacated, and has no plans of vacating the subject
property, nor has he turned over the Owner’s Duplicate Copy of Title to the subject
property, Mr. Ang filed a complaint for Specific Performance and Damages with the
proper court with jurisdiction over the matter, for the full performance of the
conditions their Contract to Sell and Deed of Sale.
