	GR No. 180146 2008-12-18	PO2 RUEL C. MONTOYA v. POLICE DIRECTOR REYNALDO P. VARILLA CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
Hence, even if administrative tribunals exercising quasi-judicial powers are not strictly bound by procedural requirements, they are still bound by law and equity to observe the fundamental requirements of due process. Notice to enable the other party to be heard and to present evidence is not a mere technicality or a trivial matter in any administrative or judicial proceedings.[19] In the application of the principle of due process, what is sought to be safeguarded is not lack of previous notice but the denial of the opportunity to be heard.[20]
