EN BANC
Gentlemen:
Quoted hereunder, for your information, is a resolution of this Court dated FEB 29 2000.
G.R. No. 141803 (Roberto Verzola, et at. vs. Secretary Edgardo Angara, et at.)
After due deliberation on the petition, the Court Resolved to DISMISS it for
(a) failure of petitioners to
accompany the petition with a clearly legible duplicate original copies or
properly certified true copies of the assailed resolutions (minutes) of the
National Committee on Biosafety of the Philippines (NCBP) of 25 August 1999 and
of 15 December 1999, in violation of Section 1, Rule 65 and Sec. 2, Rule 56 in
relation to Sec. 3, Rule 46, 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure;
(b) prematurity, insofar as the
Import Permit is concerned, as no motion for reconsideration appears to have
been validly filed with the NCBP;
(c) failure to exhaust
administrative remedies; and
(d) violation of the rule on
hierarchy of courts; and absence of showing of any special and important reason
to justify the disregard thereof.
Very truly yours,
Clerk of Court
(Sgd.) MA. LUISA D. VILLARAMA
Asst. Clerk of Court
