Sale does not indicate that it is a phoney. Pan Pacific Industrial

 A Deed of Sale when acknowledged before a notary public,
enjoys the presumption of regularity and due execution. To
overthrow that presumption, sufficient, clear and convincing
evidence is required, otherwise the document should be upheld.
BravoEGuerrero v. Bravo (465 SCRA 244)
 Even if deeds of sale were notarized by someone who was not a
notary public, the sale still remained valid. But the Deed of Sale
becomes a mere private document. R.F. Navarro & Co. v.
Vailoces (361 SCRA 139)
 Notarization of a deed of sale does not guarantee its validity nor
is it conclusive of the true agreement of the parties thereto,
because it is not the function of the notary public to validate an
instrument that was never intended by the parties to have any
binding legal effect. Salonga v. Concepcion (470 SCRA 291)
 Any substantial difference between the terms of the Contract to
Sell and the concomitant Deed of Absolute Sale (such as
difference in subject matter, and difference in price and/or the
terms thereof), does not make the transaction between the

seller and the buyer void, for it is truism that the execution of the Deed of Absolute Sale effectively rendered the previous Contract to
Sell ineffective and cancelled [through the process of novation]. Lumbres v. Talbrad, Jr. (516 SCRA 575)
A.2. Value of Business Forms to Prove Sale
 Business forms, e.g., order slip, delivery charge invoice and the like, which are issued by the seller in the ordinary course of the business
are not always fully accomplished to contain all the necessary information describing in detail the whole business transaction—more
often than not they are accomplished perfunctorily without proper regard to any legal repercussion for such neglect such that despite
their being often incomplete, said business forms are commonly recognized in ordinary commercial transactions as valid between the
parties and at the very least they serve as an acknowledgment that a business transaction has in fact transpired. Donato C. Cruz
Trading Corp.
v. Court of Appeals (347 SCRA 13)
 These documents are not mere scraps of paper bereft of probative value but vital pieces of evidence of commercial transactions. They
are written memorials of the details of the consummation of contracts. Lagon v. Hooven Comalco Industries, Inc. (349 SCRA 363)
