In Chinese Young Men's Christian Association of The Philippine Islands Doing Business Under The Name Of Manila Downtown YMCA v. Remington Steel Corporation,[35] this Court explained the concept of stare decisis et non quieta movere, thus: Under the doctrine, when the Supreme Court has once laid down a principle of law as applicable to a certain state of facts, it will adhere to that principle, and apply it to all future cases, where facts are substantially the same.

Although the principle of res judicata is not applicable, the petition must still fail because our ruling must adhere to the doctrine of stare decisis.  In Chinese Young Men's Christian Association of the Philippine Islands v. Remington Steel Corporation,[30] the Court expounded on the importance of this doctrine in securing certainty and stability of judicial decisions, thus: Time and again, the court has held that it is a very desirable and necessary judicial practice that when a court has laid down a principle of law as applicable to a certain state of facts, it will adhere to that principle and apply it to all future cases in which the facts are substantially the same. Stare decisis et non quieta movere.  Stand by the decisions and disturb not what is settled.  Stare decisis simply means that for the sake of certainty, a conclusion reached in one case should be applied to those that follow if the facts are substantially the same, even though the parties may be different. It proceeds from the first principle of justice that, absent any powerful countervailing considerations, like cases ought to be decided alike.  Thus, where the same questions relating to the same event have been put forward by the parties similarly situated as in a previous case litigated and decided by a competent court, the rule of stare decisis is a bar to any attempt to relitigate the same issue.
