Summary

Property dispute where landowner Peter Quimson acquired land through public auction with existing occupants including petitioners Pagco. Failed negotiations for sale (disagreement on price: P980 vs P850 per square meter) led to ejectment proceedings for rental arrears since 1985. Metropolitan Trial Court initially dismissed finding perfected sale, but was reversed by Regional Trial Court ordering ejectment. Court of Appeals and Supreme Court affirmed, finding no meeting of minds for sale contract and valid grounds for ejectment due to non-payment. Case demonstrates requirements for contract perfection and distinction between sales and lease relationships in property law.
