	GR No. 131399 2003-10-17	ANGELITA AMPARO GO v. OFFICE OF OMBUDSMAN AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
Petitioner argues that respondent Malinis did not deny her accusations and failed to answer the charges against him, indicating therefore the truth of her allegations.[35] Indeed, the general rule is that failure to deny allegations in the complaint results in admission thereof. [36] Such rule, however, is not absolute and admits of exceptions.[37] In Florentino Atillo III vs. Court of Appeals, Amancor, Inc. and Michell Lhuillier,[38] we held that in spite of the presence of judicial admissions in a party's pleading, the trial court is still given leeway to consider other evidence presented;[39] or, as in the present case, the absence of evidence for the petitioner to prove her claim.
