 Description
(c) Appeal by certiorari.- In all cases where only questions of law are raised
or involved, the appeal shall be to the Supreme Court by petition for review
on certiorari in accordance with Rule 45.

A party desiring to appeal from a decision of the Regional Trial Court

rendered in the exercise of its appellate jurisdiction may file a verified
petition for review with the Court of Appeals, paying at the same time to
the clerk of said court the corresponding docket and other lawful fees,
depositing the amount of P500.00 for costs, and furnishing the Regional
Trial Court and the adverse party with a copy of the petition.

Appeal shall be taken by filing a verified petition for review in seven (7)
legible copies with the Court of Appeals, with proof of service of a copy
thereof on the adverse party and on the court or agency a quo. The original
copy of the petition intended for the Court of Appeals shall be indicated as
such by the petitioner.

A party desiring to appeal by certiorari from a judgment or final order or

resolution of the Court of Appeals, the Sandiganbayan, the Regional Trial
Court or other courts whenever authorized by law, may file with the
Supreme Court a verified petition for review on certiorari. The petition shall
raise only questions of law which must be distinctly set forth.

Description
The action shall be commenced by filing a verified petition alleging therein
with particularity the facts and the law relied upon for annulment, as well as
those supporting the petitioner’s good and substantial cause of action or
defense, as the case may be.

A judgment or final order or resolution of the Commission on Elections and

the Commission on Audit may be brought by the aggrieved party to the
Supreme Court on certiorari under Rule 65, except as hereinafter provided.
Certiorari - When any tribunal, board or officer exercising judicial or quasi-
judicial functions has acted without or in excess of its or his jurisdiction, or
with grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction,
and there is no appeal, or any plain, speedy, and adequate remedy in the
ordinary course of law, a person aggrieved thereby may file a verified
petition in the proper court, alleging the facts with certainty and praying
that judgment be rendered annulling or modifying the proceedings of such
tribunal, board or officer, and granting such incidental reliefs as law and
justice may require.
The petition shall be accompanied by a certified true copy of the judgment,
order or resolution subject thereof, copies of all pleadings and documents
relevant and pertinent thereto, and a sworn certification of non-forum
shopping as provided in the third paragraph of section 3, Rule 46.

Prohibition - When the proceedings of any tribunal, corporation, board,

officer or person, whether exercising judicial, quasi-judicial or ministerial
functions, are without or in excess of its or his jurisdiction, or with grave
abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction, and there is
no appeal or any other plain, speedy, and adequate remedy in the ordinary
course of law, a person aggrieved thereby may file a verified petition in the
proper court, alleging the facts with certainty and praying that judgment be
rendered commanding the respondent to desist from further proceedings in
the action or matter specified therein, or otherwise granting such incidental
reliefs as law and justice may require.
The petition shall likewise be accompanied by a certified true copy of the
judgment, order or resolution subject thereof, copies of all pleadings and
documents relevant and pertinent thereto, and a sworn certification of non-
forum shopping as provided in the third paragraph of section 3, Rule 4
Mandamus - When any tribunal, corporation, board, officer or person
unlawfully neglects the performance of an act which the law specifically
enjoins as a duty resulting from an office, trust, or station, or unlawfully
excludes another from the use and enjoyment of a right or office to which
such other is entitled, and there is no other plain, speedy and adequate
remedy in the ordinary course of law, the person aggrieved thereby may file
a verified petition in the proper court, alleging the facts with certainty and
praying that judgment be rendered commanding the respondent,
immediately or at some other time to be specified by the court, to do the
act required to be done to protect the rights of the petitioner, and to pay
the damages sustained by the petitioner by reason of the wrongful acts of
the respondent. The petition shall also contain a sworn certification of non-
forum shopping as provided in the third paragraph of section 3, Rule 46.

An action for the usurpation of a public office, position or franchise may be

commenced by a verified petition brought in the name of the Republic of
the Philippines against:
(a) A person who usurps, intrudes into, or unlawfully holds or exercises a
public office, position or franchise;
(b) A public officer who does or suffers an act which, by the provision of law,
constitutes a ground for the forfeiture of his office; or

(c) An association which acts as a corporation within the Philippines without

being legally incorporated or without lawful authority so to act.

Proceedings for indirect contempt may be initiated motu proprio by the

court against which the contempt was committed by an order or any other
formal charge requiring the respondent to show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt.

In all other cases, charges for indirect contempt shall be commenced by a

verified petition with supporting particulars and certified true copies of
documents or papers involved therein, and upon full compliance with the
requirements for filing initiatory pleadings for civil actions in the court
concerned. If the contempt charges arose out of or are related to a principal
action pending in the court, the petition for contempt shall allege that fact
but said petition shall be docketed, heard and decided separately, unless
the court in its discretion orders the consolidation of the contempt charge
and the principal action for joint hearing and decision.
