| The rule is well settled that a motion for reconsideration before the respondent court is an indispensable condition to the filing of a special civil action for certiorari before the Supreme Court. Nonetheless, this rule admits of exceptions. In Philippine Ports Authority v. Nasipit Integrated Arrastre and Stevedoring Services, Inc.,[33] We have painstakingly cited a number of jurisprudence on the matter and held:x x x As early as Director of Lands v. Santamaria, this Court held that there are notable exceptions to the general rule that a motion for reconsideration must first be filed before resort to certiorari can be availed of. This rule has been applied by this Court in a plethora of cases. A motion for reconsideration is no longer necessary when other special circumstances warrant immediate and more direct action. | |||||
