YNARES-SANTIAGO, J
There is no dearth of jurisprudence on the rules to be applied in the grant of bail.[19] These same rules have been incorporated in the Rules of Court, of which a judge must have more than just a superficial understanding, if he were to discharge his functions properly and competently. Indeed, everyone, especially a judge, is presumed to know the law. When, as in this case, the law is so elementary, not to be aware of it constitutes gross ignorance of the law.[20]
