	GR No. 180543 2010-07-27	KILOSBAYAN FOUNDATION v. LEONCIO M. JANOLO CARPIO MORALES, J.
In one case,[34] it was held that the Rules of Court does not direct the court to order the filing of comments or oppositions to the motion before the motion is resolved. The parties may orally argue and ventilate their positions and, thereafter, the court may rule on the motion.
	GR No. 174971 2008-10-15	LAND BANK OF PHILIPPINES v. AMS FARMING CORPORATION CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
The situation of the DAR and LBP should not be treated differently from other cases wherein multiple parties from the proceedings in the court a quo each filed their own appeals. If brought in time to the attention of the appellate court, the multiple appeals may be consolidated; but non-consolidation should not result in the dismissal of the appeals on the ground of forum shopping unless it has been substantially established that they were intentionally resorted to by the appealing parties in order to "shop around" for a favorable decision. The rule prohibiting forum-shopping was designed to promote and facilitate the orderly administration of justice. It should not be interpreted with such absolute literalness as to defeat its ultimate objective which is to achieve substantial justice as expeditiously as possible.[28]
