LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J. |

| Furthermore, under the principle of ejusdem generis, where a statute describes things of a particular class or kind accompanied by words of a generic character, the generic word will usually be limited to things of a similar nature with those particularly enumerated, unless there be something in the context of the statute which would repel such inference.[37] Thus, any long standing and accepted banking practice which can be considered as a valid cause to return manager's or cashier's checks should be of a similar nature to the enumerated cause applicable to manager's or cashier's checks: material alteration. As stated above, an example of a similar cause is the presentation of a counterfeit check. | |||||

NACHURA, J. |

| Before we delve into the foregoing issues, it is noteworthy that the present petition, albeit captioned as a petition for certiorari, is actually a petition for review on certiorari, raising only pure questions of law. On more than one occasion, we have allowed erroneously labeled actions based on the averments contained in the petition or complaint.[12] Thus, we now disregard the incorrect designation and treat this as a petition for review on certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court. | |||||

REYES, R.T., J. |

| This Court has held that the guaranteed academic freedom does not give an institution the unbridled authority to perform acts without any statutory basis.[46] For that reason, a school official, who is a member of the civil service, may not be permitted to commit violations of civil service rules under the justification that he was free to do so under the principle of academic freedom. | |||||
