	GR No. 183444 2012-02-08	DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS v. RONALDO E. QUIWA SERENO, J.
Parties who do not come to court with clean hands cannot be allowed to profit from their own wrongdoing.[11] The action (or inaction) of the party seeking equity must be "free from fault, and he must have done nothing to lull his adversary into repose, thereby obstructing and preventing vigilance on the part of the latter."[12] Neither the trial court nor the appellate court found any design to defraud on the part of the respondent contractors.
	GR No. 163553 2009-12-11	YUN KWAN BYUNG v. PHILIPPINE AMUSEMENT CARPIO, J.
Gambling is prohibited by the laws of the Philippines as specifically provided in Articles 195 to 199 of the Revised Penal Code, as amended. Gambling is an act beyond the pale of good morals,[35] and is thus prohibited and punished to repress an evil that undermines the social, moral, and economic growth of the nation.[36] Presidential Decree No. 1602 (PD 1602),[37] which modified Articles 195-199 of the Revised Penal Code and repealed inconsistent provisions,[38] prescribed stiffer penalties on illegal gambling.[39]
