CARPIO MORALES, J. |
||||
| In any case, the Court has discretion to relax the procedural technicality on locus standi, given the liberal attitude it has exercised, highlighted in the case of David v. Macapagal-Arroyo,[89]where technicalities of procedure were brushed aside, the constitutional issues raised being of paramount public interest or of transcendental importance deserving the attention of the Court in view of their seriousness, novelty and weight as precedents.[90] The Court's forbearing stance on locus standi on issues involving constitutional issues has for its purpose the protection of fundamental rights. | |||||
