Notable opinions

  • Javier v. Comelec (1986)"where the Court effectively ruled in favor of Evelio Javier, a rival of Marcos’ KBL party member Arturo Pacificador, in the Batasan polls in May 1984 in Antique. In 1986, Javier was killed in an ambush during the pendency of the case."
  • People v. Carmina (1991) the high court held "Even if treachery were not present in this case, the crime would still be murder because of the dismemberment of the dead body." (joined by Justices Narvasa, Gancayco, Griño-Aquino and Medialdea)
