	GR No. 184036 2010-10-13	PACIFIC REHOUSE CORPORATION v. EIB SECURITIES VELASCO JR., J.
It is indispensable that the pledgor is the absolute owner of the thing pledged (second element). In the case at bar, the KKP shares were sold to third parties by EIB at PhP 0.14 and, as a result, petitioners lost their right of ownership over the KKP shares. Hence, from the time of the sale, petitioners were no longer the absolute owners of said shares, making the pledge constituted over said KKP shares null and void.[36]
	GR No. 150388 2009-03-13	NATIONAL INVESTMENT v. SPS. FRANCISCO AND BASILISA BAUTISTA CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
For a person to validly constitute a mortgage on real estate, he must be the absolute owner thereof as required by Article 2085 of the New Civil Code. In other words, the mortgagor must be the owner; otherwise, the mortgage is void.[30] Del Rosario was NOT the owner of the 5,546-sq.- meter portion of the 6,368-sq.-meter lot, so she could not have mortgaged the same to PCIB. There being no valid mortgage of the said portion to PCIB, it could not be subjected to foreclosure; it could not be sold at the public auction; it could not be bought by PCIB as the highest bidder at the public auction; and it could not be assigned by PCIB to NIDC.
