NOTICE
Sirs/Mesdames :
Please take notice that the Court en banc issued a Resolution dated MARCH 5, 2013, which reads as follows:
"G.R. No. 205480(Talib B. Abo, Sr. vs. Commission on Elections, Hon. Bansawan Z. Ibrahim, Al Haj, in his capacity as Presiding Judge of the RTC, Branch 13, Cotabato City and Ibrahim P. Ibay). — In accordance with Rule 64 and other related provisions of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended, governing review of judgments and final orders or resolutions of the Commission on Elections, only petitions which are accompanied by or which comply strictly with the requirements specified therein shall be entertained. On the basis thereof, the Court Resolved to DISMISS the instant petition for certiorari for non-compliance therewith, particularly for —
(a) failure to state all material dates showing when notice of judgment subject of the petition was received, when a motion for reconsideration, if any, was filed, and when notice of the denial thereof was received, to show that the petition was filed on time pursuant to Section 5, Rule 64 in relation to Section 3 (2nd par.), Rule 46; and
(b) failure to comply with Bar Matter No. 287, requiring all lawyers to indicate in all pleadings, motions and papers signed and filed by them in any court in the Philippines, the number and date of their current Professional Tax Receipt (PTR). CSDTac
In any event, the petition would still be dismissed for failure to sufficiently show that any grave abuse of discretion was committed by the Commission on Elections in rendering the challenged resolution which, on the contrary, appears to be in accord with the facts and applicable law and jurisprudence."
