RULING:
Yes. While it is true that the questioned properties appear to be immobile, a perusal of
the contract of Real and Chattel Mortgage executed by the parties gives a contrary
indication.
ANALYSIS:
The true intention of PBCOM and EVERTEX, is to treat machinery and equipment as
chattels. Assuming that the properties in question are immovable by nature, nothing
detracts the parties from treating it as chattels to secure an obligation under the
principle of estoppel.
CONCLUSION:
Immovable property may be considered a personal property if there is a stipulation as
when it is used as security in the payment of an obligation where a chattel mortgage is
executed over it
