	GR No. 155173 2004-11-23	LAFARGE CEMENT PHILIPPINES v. CONTINENTAL CEMENT CORPORATION PANGANIBAN, J.
A counterclaim may either be permissive or compulsory. It is permissive "if it does not arise out of or is not necessarily connected with the subject matter of the opposing party's claim."[11] A permissive counterclaim is essentially an independent claim that may be filed separately in another case.
