| Through written interrogatories, a party may elicit from the adverse party or parties any facts or matter that are not privileged and are material and relevant to the subject of the pending action.[31] Like other modes of discovery authorized by the Rules, the purpose of written interrogatories is to assist the parties in clarifying the issues and in ascertaining the facts involved in a case.[32] On the other hand, the provision on production and inspection of documents is to enable not only the parties but also the court (in this case, the PHIC Arbitration Department) to discover all the relevant and material facts in connection with the case pending before it.[33] It must be shown, therefore, that the documents sought to be produced, inspected and/or copied/photographed are material or contain evidence relevant to an issue involved in the action.[34] | |||||
