BERSAMIN, J.
Generally, injunction, being a preservative remedy for the protection of substantive rights or interests, is not a cause of action in itself but merely a provisional remedy, an adjunct to a main suit. It is resorted to only when there is a pressing necessity to avoid injurious consequences that cannot be redressed under any standard of compensation. The controlling reason for the existence of the judicial power to issue the writ of injunction is that the court may thereby prevent a threatened or continuous irremediable injury to some of the parties before their claims can be thoroughly investigated and advisedly adjudicated. The application for the writ rests upon an alleged existence of an emergency or of a special reason for such an order to issue before the case can be regularly heard, and the essential conditions for granting such temporary injunctive relief are that the complaint alleges facts that appear to be sufficient to constitute a cause of action for injunction and that on the entire showing from both sides, it appears, in view of all the circumstances, that the injunction is reasonably necessary to protect the legal rights of plaintiff pending the litigation.[46]

A preliminary injunction is a provisional remedy for the protection of substantive rights and interests. It is not a cause of action in itself but merely an adjunct to the main case. Its objective is to prevent a threatened or continuous irreparable injury to some of the parties before their claims can be thoroughly investigated and advisedly adjudicated. It is resorted to only when there is a pressing need to avoid injurious consequences which cannot be remedied under any standard compensation.[34]

CALLEJO, SR., J.
The grant of a preliminary injunction in a case rests on the sound discretion of the court with the caveat that it should be made with great caution.  The exercise of sound judicial discretion by the lower court should not be interfered with except in cases of manifest abuse. Injunction is a preservative remedy for the protection of the parties' substantive rights and interests.  The sole aim of a preliminary injunction is to preserve the status quo within the last actual status that preceded the pending controversy until the merits of the case can be heard fully. Moreover, a petition for a preliminary injunction is an equitable remedy, and one who comes to claim for equity must do so with clean hands. It is to be resorted to by a litigant to prevent or preserve a right or interest where there is a pressing necessity to avoid injurious consequences which cannot be remedied under any standard of compensation. A petition for a writ of preliminary injunction rests upon an alleged existence of an emergency or of a special reason for such a writ before the case can be regularly tried.  By issuing a writ of preliminary injunction, the court can thereby prevent a threatened or continued irreparable injury to the plaintiff before a judgment can be rendered on the claim.[58]
