	GR No. 194239 2015-06-16	WEST TOWER CONDO CORP. v. FIRST PHILIPPINE INDUSTRIAL CORP. VELASCO JR., J.
As defined, a real party-in-interest is the party who stands to be benefited or injured by the judgment in the suit, or the party entitled to the avails of the suit.[39] Generally, every action must be prosecuted or defended in the name of the real parties-in-interest.[40] In other words, the action must be brought by the person who, by substantive law, possesses the right sought to be enforced.[41] Alternatively, one who has no right or interest to protect cannot invoke the jurisdiction of the court as party-plaintiff-in-action for it is jurisprudentially ordained that every action must be prosecuted or defended in the name of the real party-in-interest.[42]
