	GR NO. 166862 2006-12-20	MANILA METAL CONTAINER CORPORATION v. PHILIPPINE NATIONAL BANK CALLEJO, SR., J.
Petitioner posits that respondent was proscribed from increasing the interest rate after it had accepted respondent's offer to sell the property for P1,574,560.00. Consequently, respondent could no longer validly make a counter-offer of P1,931,789.88 for the purchase of the property. It likewise maintains that, although the P725,000.00 was considered as "deposit for the repurchase of the property" in the receipt issued by the SAMD, the amount constitutes earnest money as contemplated in Article 1482 of the New Civil Code. Petitioner cites the rulings of this Court in Villonco v. Bormaheco[39] and Topacio v. Court of Appeals.[40]
