| In similar ejectment cases involving the same parties and substantially the same facts, the only difference being the bank site, this Court has consistently ruled that it is not the 11-year lease contract but the 20-year contract which is the real and genuine contract between the parties.[33] At this juncture, Tala submits that based on the principle of stare decisis, the decisions of this Court should apply to the present case particularly as to its conclusive findings that it is the 20- year contract of lease that governs the contractual relations of the parties. Tala concludes that the validity of the 20-year lease contract must be upheld. | |||||

| In sum, there is no ground for ejectment in the case at bar at the time the ejectment suit was instituted in the MTC of Malolos, whether on the ground of expiration of the lease contract or non- payment of rent. . . .[34] (Italics in the original; underscoring supplied) Stare decisis et non quieta movere. Once 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 where the facts are substantially the same.[35] | |||||
