1) Private respondent Ernesto Cendana transported scrap materials and back-hauled goods for other merchants as a side business to his scrap dealing. 2) Petitioner Pedro de Guzman contracted with Cendana to transport 750 cartons of milk, but 600 cartons were hijacked en route. 3) The Court of Appeals found Cendana not liable as he was engaged in transport "as a casual occupation" and the hijacking was force majeure, but the Supreme Court reversed, finding Cendana was a common carrier under law.
