GARCIA, J. |

| So does Amorganda v. Court of Appeals [16] where the Court allowed the belated filing by Amorganda of a motion for reconsideration in the CA so as not to prejudice the cause of movant-petitioner Amorganda whom the Court determined not to have been motivated by an impulse to delay the proceedings or obstruct the administration of justice. Citing Lagunsad v. Court of Appeals [17] we went on to state in Amorganda that in the absence of an indication of malice to delay the proceedings, the Court would grant relief where a stringent application of the requirement of timeliness of pleadings would deny a litigant, with a meritorious case, substantial justice. | |||||
