This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR No. 212686 2015-09-28	SERGIO R. OSMENA III v. POWER SECTOR ASSETS VILLARAMA, JR., J.
The Constitution under Section 1, Article VIII expressly directs the Judiciary, as a matter of power and duty, not only to settle actual controversies involving rights which are legally demandable and enforceable but, to determine whether or not there has been a grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction on the part of any branch or instrumentality of the Government. We thus have the duty to take cognizance of allegations of grave abuse of discretion in this case,[20] involving the sale by PSALM of a power plant, which supposedly contravenes the policy on competitive public bidding.
