Ubaldo is the owner of a building which has been leased by Remigio for the 5p past 20 years. Ubaldo has repeatedly assured Remigio that if he should decide to sell the building, he will give Remigio the right of first refusal. On June 30, 1994, Ubaldo informed Remigio that he was willing to sell the building for P5 Million. The following day, Remigio sent a letter to Ubaldo offering to buy the building at P4.5 Million. Ubaldo did not reply. One week later, Remigio received a letter from Santos informing him that the building has been sold to him by Ubaldo for P5 Million, and that he will not renew Remigio's lease when it expires. Remigio filed an action against Ubaldo and Santos for cancellation of the sale, and to compel Ubaldo to execute a deed of absolute sale in his favor, based on his right of first refusal. b) If Ubaldo had given Remigio an option to purchase the building instead of a right of first refusal, will your answer be the same? Explain. Ubaldo is the owner of a building which has been leased by Remigio for the 5p past 20 years.
