PEREZ, J.
In the case of Republic v. Sandiganbayan, [77] the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) sought to exercise its right of first refusal as a stockholder of Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc. (ETPI), a corporation sequestered by the PCGG, to purchase ETPI shares being sold by another stockholder to a non-stockholder. While the Court recognized that PCGG had a right of first refusal with respect to ETPI's shares,[78] it nevertheless did not sustain such right on the ground that the same was not seasonably exercised.[79]

At any rate, the Sandiganbayan's factual findings that the 154 block was sold to US Automotive while Menzi was still alive, and that Atty. Montecillo merely accepted payment by virtue of the authority conferred upon him by Menzi himself are conclusive upon this Court, supported, as they are, by the evidence on record.[16] As held by the Sandiganbayan:... The sale was made pursuant to the Stock Option executed in 1968 between the parties to the sale, considering the restrictions contained in Bulletin's Articles of Incorporation as amended in 1968 limiting the transferability of its shares. Negotiations for the sale took place and were concluded before the death of Menzi. After his death, full payment of the entire consideration of the sale, principal and interest, was made only after judicial confirmation thereof in the Probate Case. The transaction was duly supported by the corresponding receipt, voucher, cancelled checks, cancelled promissory note, and BIR certification of payment of the corresponding taxes due thereon.[17]
