| In agency, the agent binds himself to render some service or to do something in representation or on behalf of the principal, with the consent or authority of the latter.[10] The basis of the civil law relationship of agency is representation,[11] the elements of which are, namely: (a) the relationship is established by the parties' consent, express or implied; (b) the object is the execution of a juridical act in relation to a third person; (c) the agent acts as representative and not for himself; and (d) the agent acts within the scope of his authority.[12] Whether or not an agency has been created is determined by the fact that one is representing and acting for another.[13] The law does not presume agency; hence, proving its existence, nature and extent is incumbent upon the person alleging it.[14] | |||||

MENDOZA, J. |

| In a contract of agency, a person binds himself to render some service or to do something in representation or on behalf of another with the latter's consent.[35] It is said that the underlying principle of the contract of agency is to accomplish results by using the services of others to do a great variety of things. Its aim is to extend the personality of the principal or the party for whom another acts and from whom he or she derives the authority to act. Its basis is representation.[36] | |||||

CARPIO, J. |

| Petitioner's argument is clearly misplaced. The basis for agency is representation,[58] that is, the agent acts for and on behalf of the principal on matters within the scope of his authority and said acts have the same legal effect as if they were personally executed by the principal.[59] On the part of the principal, there must be an actual intention to appoint or an intention naturally inferable from his words or actions, while on the part of the agent, there must be an intention to accept the appointment and act on it.[60] Absent such mutual intent, there is generally no agency.[61] | |||||
