	GR No. 180235 2016-01-20	ALTA VISTA GOLF v. CITY OF CEBU LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
In Cagayan Electric Power and Light Co., Inc. (CEPALCO) v. City of Cagayan De Oro,[35] the Court initially conceded that as in Reyes, the failure of taxpayer CEPALCO to appeal to the Secretary of Justice within the statutory period of 30 days from the effectivity of the ordinance should have been fatal to its cause. However, the Court purposefully relaxed the application of the rules in view of the more substantive matters.
	GR No. 210551 2015-06-30	JOSE J. FERRER v. CITY MAYOR HERBERT BAUTISTA PERALTA, J.
Despite these cases, the Court, in Ongsuco, et al. v. Hon. Malones,[45] held that there was no need for petitioners therein to exhaust administrative remedies before resorting to the courts, considering that there was only a pure question of law, the parties did not dispute any factual matter on which they had to present evidence. Likewise, in Cagayan Electric Power and Light Co., Inc. v. City of Cagayan de Oro,[46] We relaxed the application of the rules in view of the more substantive matters. For the same reasons, this petition is an exception to the general rule.
