VELASCO JR., J. |

| Strict adherence to the said rule is not a trivial matter. The Court in Constantino v. Court of Appeals[13] ruled that the formal offer of one's evidence is deemed waived after failing to submit it within a considerable period of time. It explained that the court cannot admit an offer of evidence made after a lapse of three (3) months because to do so would "condone an inexcusable laxity if not non-compliance with a court order which, in effect, would encourage needless delays and derail the speedy administration of justice."[14] | |||||
