| Besides, even if we do review the case, there is no cogent reason to disturb the finding of said courts. Under the rules, if the addressee refuses to accept delivery, service by registered mail is deemed complete if the addressee fails to claim the mail from the postal office after five days from the date of first notice of the postmaster.[34] Further, the absence of personal service of notice to vacate in this case could only be attributed to petitioner's unexplainable refusal to receive the same. In Co Keng Kian v. Intermediate Appellate Court,[35] we held that "[t]he Court cannot countenance an unfair situation where the plaintiff in an eviction case suffers further injustice by the unwarranted delay resulting from the obstinate refusal of the defendant to acknowledge the existence of a valid demand." | |||||
