REYES, J.
Even assuming, arguendo, that the petitioner was not paid, such non payment is immaterial and has no effect on the validity of the contract of sale.  A contract of sale is a consensual contract and what is required is the meeting of the minds on the object and the price for its perfection and validity.[38]  In this case, the contract was perfected the moment the petitioner and the respondent agreed on the object of the sale the two-hectare parcel of land, and the price Three Thousand Pesos (P3,000.00).  Non-payment of the purchase price merely gave rise to a right in favor of the petitioner to either demand specific performance or rescission of the contract of sale.[39]
