    3. Lino entered into a contract to sell with Ramon, undertaking to convey to the latter one of
    the five lots he owns, without specifying which lot it was, for the price of P1 million.
    Later, the parties could not agree which of five lots he owned Lino undertook to sell to
    Ramon. What is the standing of the contract?

    5. Eduardo borrowed P50,000.00 from Diego payable within 30 days. Eduardo failed to
    pay the debt on the due date despite repeated demands from Diego. When the debt
    remained unpaid for 6 months, Diego asked his counsel, Atty. Santos, to write a letter to
    Eduardo informing him that unless Eduardo assigns his lot to Diego, Diego would be
    compelled to file a civil complaint against Eduardo for the collection of Diego’s claim.
    Eduardo, afraid of the threat of a court action against him, was forced to sign a deed of
    assignment of his lot in favor of Diego. What is the status of the assignment?

    7. “X” came across an advertisement in the “Manila Daily Bulletin” about the rush sale of three
    slightly used TOYOTA cars, Model 1989 for only P200,000 each. Finding the price to be very
    cheap and in order to be sure that he gets one unit ahead of the others, “X” immediately phoned
    the advertiser “Y” and placed an order for one car. “Y” accepted the order and promised to
    deliver the ordered unit on July 15, 1989. On the said date, however, “Y” did not deliver the unit.
    “X” brings an action to compel “Y” to deliver the unit. Will such action prosper? Give your
    reasons.

    9. In 1950, the Bureau of Lands issued a Homestead patent to A. Three years later, A sold the
    homestead to B. A died in 1990, and his heirs filed an action to recover the homestead from B on
    the ground that its sale by their father to the latter is void under Section 118 of the Public Land
    Law. B contends, however, that the heirs of A cannot recover the homestead from him anymore
    because their action has prescribed and that furthermore, A was in pari delicto. Decide.
