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.
