	GR No. 213181 2014-08-19	FRANCIS H. JARDELEZA v. CHIEF JUSTICE MARIA LOURDES P. A. SERENO MENDOZA, J.
On August 11, 2014, the JBC filed its comment contending that Jardeleza's petition lacked procedural and substantive bases that would warrant favorable action by the Court. For the JBC, certiorari is only available against a tribunal, a board or an officer exercising judicial or quasi-judicial functions.[11] The JBC, in its exercise of its mandate to recommend appointees to the Judiciary, does not exercise any of these functions. In a pending case,[12] Jardeleza himself, as one of the lawyers for the government, argued in this wise: Certiorari cannot issue against the JBC in the implementation of its policies.
