4. If mortgagor fails to pay within the 90-120 days given tohim by the court, the property shall be sold to the highestbidder at public auction to satisfy the judgment.
5. There will be a judicial confirmation of the sale. Afterthe confirmation of the sale, the purchaser shall be entitled
to the possession of the property, and all the rights ofthe mortgagor with respect to the property are severedor terminated. The equity of redemption periodactually extends until the sale is confirmed. Even after thelapse of the 90 to 120 day period, the mortgagor can still
redeem the property, so long as there has been noconfirmation of the sale yet. Therefore, the equity ofredemption can be considered as the right of themortgagor to redeem the property BEFORE theconfirmation of the sale.

The purchaser at the foreclosure sale merely acquired aninchoate right to the property which could ripen intoownership only upon the lapse of the redemptionperiodwithout his credit having been discharged, it is
illogical to hold that during that same period of twelvemonths the mortgagor was "divested" of his ownership,since the absurd result would be that the land willconsequently be without an owner although it remainsregistered in the name of the mortgagor.
What is divested from the mortgagor is only his "full rightas owner thereof to dispose of and sell the lands,".(Medida vs CA, 1992)
