    I2+o$t,/t Do3t$i/es4+$i/3i+les o/

    i22ov,le ,/d 2ov,le +$o+e$ties:

    a) A %uiling is an immovable even if not

    erecte by the owner of the lan. he

    only criterion is union or incorporation with

    the soil. (Ladera vs. Hodges, 48 O.G.

    4374).

    b) #arties to a contract may by

    agreement treat as personal properties

    that which by nature woul be real

    property- an it is a familiar phenomenon

    to see things classes as real property for 

    purposes of ta0ation which on general

    principle might be consiere personal

    property (Standard Oil Co. vs. Jaranillo, 44!il "3#).

    c) 6or purposes of attachment an

    e0ecution an for purposes of the

    hattel &ortgage *aw, ungathere proucts

    have the nature of personal property. (Si$al 

    vs. %alde&, ' !il,

    '#).

    ) he human boy, whether alive or ea, is

    neither real nor personal property, for it is

    not even property at all, in that it generally

    cannot be appropriate. U n e r c er tai n

    c o n it io n s , the boy of a person or parts

    thereof may be subject matter of atransaction. (See $A =o. !:, $A =o. 515;,

    $A =o. 551:).

    e) @hat is the effect of temporary separation of 

    movables from the immovables to which

    they have been attache

    2 Biews<

     1) hey continue to be regare as

    immovables.

    2) 6act of separation etermines the

    conition of the objects thus

    recovering their conition as

    movables.

    C the latter view is supporte by #aras

    an olentino who maintains that the failure

    of the coifiers to reprouce the provision of 

    the partias on the matter is an inication

    that they i not inten the rule to continue.

    f) A builing that is to be sol or mortgage

    an which woul be immeiately emolishe

    may be consiere personal property an the

    sale or mortgage thereof woul be a sale of 

    chattel, or a chattel mortgage respectively, for 

    the true object of the contract woul be the

    materials.
