| Another significant ruling to consider is Malabaguio v. COMELEC et al.[111] involving the appreciation of ballots, the Court, citing its ruling in Alberto v. COMELEC,[112] declared that election cases involve public interest; thus, laws governing election contests must be liberally construed to the end that the will of the people in the choice of public officials may not be defeated by mere technical objections. | |||||

| We have determined that the LSPA is relevant and material to the issue on the validity of the deed of assignment raised by petitioners in the court a quo, and allowing its production and inspection by petitioners would be more in keeping with the objectives of the discovery rules. We find no great practical difficulty, and respondent continuously fails to allege any, in presenting the document for inspection and copying of petitioners. On the other hand, to deny petitioners the opportunity to inquire into the LSPA would bar their access to relevant evidence and impair their fundamental right to due process.[52] | |||||
