| According to the foregoing provision, the appeal period previously consisted of 30 days. BP 129, however, reduced this appeal period to 15 days. In the deliberations of the Committee on Judicial Reorganization[20] that drafted BP 129, the raison d' etre behind the amendment was to shorten the period of appeal[21] and enhance the efficiency and dispensation of justice. We have since required strict observance of this reglementary period of appeal. Seldom have we condoned late filing of notices of appeal,[22] and only in very exceptional instances to better serve the ends of justice. | |||||
