Sps Domasian v. Demdam
In computing the jurisdictional amount in an action for collection of sum of money, interest that has already accrued and is inseparable from the principal obligation must be included. Interest rates when deemed unconscionable, may be judicially reduced.
Rodrigo Duterte's arrest one year ago was significant because it changed the game for the rich and powerful. That he remains in detention until today with dim chances at release makes it consequential. The realization that masterminds are no longer untouchable shatters...+

Kung lawyer ka at di mo pa alam ang gender sensitivity, mag enroll ka muna sa MCLE and you will save yourself a lot of trouble when you know what it is. Seems like one lawyer legislator has not been listening to MCLE lectures.
Sana mabago ang ganitong ugali ng maraming Pilipino, yung nag-iiwan ng kalat o nagtatapon sa kung saan-saan. Ampangit nung abogado ka nga o afford mo kumuha ng abogado pero makalat kang tao.
Sana maging culture din natin ang Clean As You Go sa mga fastfood at food court.

The #SupremeCourtPH (SC) 𝘌𝘯 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘤, during its session on February 4, 2026, dismissed the petition filed by Jacinto V. Paras et al., questioning the constitutionality of Executive Order No. (EO) 94, Series of 2025, which created the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI).
In a Resolution written by Associate Justice Samuel H. Gaerlan, the SC 𝘌𝘯 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘤 ruled that the petition failed to meet the basic requirements for judicial review.
The ICI was created as an independent ad hoc fact-finding body to investigate alleged anomalies in government flood control projects nationwide.
The petitioners argued that EO 94 violates the equal protection clause, usurps the legislative power of Congress, reduces or takes away the powers and functions vested in the Office of the Ombudsman and the Commission on Audit by the Constitution, and violates the Constitutional provision that no money shall be paid out of the Treasury except in pursuance of an appropriation made by law.
The SC ruled that the petition violated the hierarchy of courts doctrine because it was filed directly with the SC. While direct recourse it is allowed in exceptional cases, the petition failed to cite any compelling reason to bypass the lower courts.
The SC also found that the petitioners did not show that an actual case or controversy exists, which requires a violation of a legally enforceable right. The petition did not show that their rights were violated, or that EO 94 adversely affected them.
The full text of the Resolution will be uploaded to the SC website once available.
