	GR No. 215568 2015-08-03	RICHARD N. RIVERA v. GENESIS TRANSPORT SERVICE LEONEN, J.
They are means for effecting social justice, i.e., the "humanization of laws and the equalization of social and economic forces by the State so that justice in the rational and objectively secular conception may at least be approximated."[26]
	GR No. 135808 2008-10-06	SECURITIES v. INTERPORT RESOURCES CORPORATION CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
[31] Calalang v. Williams, 70 Phil. 726, 733 (1940).
	GR No. 138823 2008-09-17	CARIDAD MAGKALAS v. NATIONAL HOUSING AUTHORITY LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
No resettlement of urban or rural dwellers shall be undertaken without adequate consultation with them and the communities where they are to be relocated. Petitioner cannot find solace in the aforequoted Constitutional provisions. Social Justice, as the term suggests, should be used only to correct an injustice. As the eminent Justice Jose P. Laurel observed, social justice must be founded on the recognition of the necessity of interdependence among diverse units of a society and of the protection that should be equally and evenly extended to all groups as a combined force in our social and economic life, consistent with the fundamental and paramount objective of the State of promoting the health, comfort, and quiet of all persons, and of bringing about "the greatest good to the greatest number."[10]
	GR NO. 159796 2007-07-17	ROMEO P. GERICHI v. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE) NACHURA, J.
As to the second test, this Court had, in the past, accepted as sufficient standards the following: "interest of law and order;"[51] "adequate and efficient instruction;"[52] "public interest;"[53] "justice and equity;"[54] "public convenience and welfare;"[55] "simplicity, economy and efficiency;"[56] "standardization and regulation of medical education;"[57] and "fair and equitable employment practices."[58] Provisions of the EPIRA such as, among others, "to ensure the total electrification of the country and the quality, reliability, security and affordability of the supply of electric power"[59] and "watershed rehabilitation and management"[60] meet the requirements for valid delegation, as they provide the limitations on the ERC's power to formulate the IRR. These are sufficient standards.
	GR NO. 159354 2006-04-07	EASTERN SHIPPING LINES v. DIOSCORO D. SEDAN QUISUMBING, J.
But we must stress that this Court did allow, in several instances, the grant of financial assistance.[23] In the words of Justice Sabino de Leon, Jr., now deceased, financial assistance may be allowed as a measure of social justice and exceptional circumstances, and as an equitable concession.[24] The instant case equally calls for balancing the interests of the employer with those of the worker, if only to approximate what Justice Laurel calls justice in its secular sense.[25]
	GR No. 148208 2004-12-15	CENTRAL BANK EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION v. BANGKO SENTRAL NG PILIPINAS PUNO, J.
Our present Constitution has gone further in guaranteeing vital social and economic rights to marginalized groups of society, including labor.[101] Under the policy of social justice, the law bends over backward to accommodate the interests of the working class on the humane justification that those with less privilege in life should have more in law.[102] And the obligation to afford protection to labor is incumbent not only on the legislative and executive branches but also on the judiciary to translate this pledge into a living reality.[103] Social justice calls for the humanization of laws and the equalization of social and economic forces by the State so that justice in its rational and objectively secular conception may at least be approximated.[104]
	GR No. 158693 2004-11-17	JENNY M. AGABON v. NLRC YNARES-SATIAGO, J.
An employee who is clearly guilty of conduct violative of Article 282 should not be protected by the Social Justice Clause of the Constitution. Social justice, as the term suggests, should be used only to correct an injustice. As the eminent Justice Jose P. Laurel observed, social justice must be founded on the recognition of the necessity of interdependence among diverse units of a society and of the protection that should be equally and evenly extended to all groups as a combined force in our social and economic life, consistent with the fundamental and paramount objective of the state of promoting the health, comfort, and quiet of all persons, and of bringing about "the greatest good to the greatest number."[34]
