Heirs of Linsag v. Remman Enterprises, Inc.
This is a civil case, titled "The Heirs of Datu Zubair Yusof (Jose) Linsag, namely: Abdul Rahman Ruben, et al. vs. Remman Enterprises, Inc., herein rep. by Manuel P. Blanco, Jr., et al." The case was resolved by the First Division of the Supreme Court through a Resolution dated July 10, 2019. The Court denied the petition for being filed out of time, as the petitioners had until April 22, 2019 to file their petition but they only filed it on April 24, 2019. The Court also noted that the petitioners failed to justify their direct resort to this Court when there are available remedies before the Court of Appeals. Additionally, the Court ruled that any further litigation on this matter is barred pursuant to the principle of res judicata, citing Linzag v. Court of Appeals (G.R. No. 122181, June 26, 1998, 291 SCRA 304). The motion to admit the petition for review on certiorari was noted.
