JURISPRUDENCE
A: The entrustee. A trust receipt has two features, the loan and security features. The loan is
brought about by the fact that the entruster financed the importation or purchase of the goods
under TR. Until and unless this loan is paid, the obligation to pay subsists. If the entrustee is
made to appear as the owner, it was but an artificial expedient, more of legal fiction than fact, for
if it were really so, it could dispose of the goods in any manner that it wants, which it cannot do.
To consider the entrustee as the true owner from the inception of the transaction would be to
disregard the loan feature thereof. (Rosario Textile Mills Corp. v. Home Bankers Savings and
Trust Company, G.R. No. 137232. June 29, 2005)
liability under P.D. 115 but only civil liability. (Philippine Bank v. Ong, G.R. No. 133176, Aug. 8,
2002)
