On March 31, 1992, this Court, in Benedicto v. Board of Administrators of Television Stations RPN, BBC and IBC,[24] promulgated its Decision on the consolidated petitions in G.R. No. 87710 and G.R. No. 96087. Holding that the authority of the BOA had become funclus oficio, we granted the Petition in G.R. No. 87710, ordering the BOA to "cease and desist from further exercising management, operation and control of Broadcast City and is hereby directed to surrender the management, operation and control of Broadcast City to the reorganized Board of Directors of each of the Broadcast City television stations."[25] We denied the Petition in G.R.

	GR No. 178158 2009-12-04	STRATEGIC ALLIANCE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION v. RADSTOCK SECURITIES LIMITED CARPIO, J.
Citing Benedicto v. Board of Administrators of Television Stations RPN, BBC and IBC,[55] the Dissenting Opinion views that congressional approval is not required for the validity of the Compromise Agreement because the liability of PNCC is not yet "settled."
	GR No. 178158 2009-12-04	STRATEGIC ALLIANCE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION v. RADSTOCK SECURITIES LIMITED CARPIO, J.
The government nominees in the PNCC Board, who practically compose the entire PNCC Board, are public officers subject to the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, accountable to the Government and the Filipino people. To hold that a corporation incorporated under the Corporation Code, despite its being 90.3% owned by the Government, is "an autonomous entity" that could solely through its Board of Directors compromise, and transfer ownership of, substantially all its assets to a private third party without the approval required under the Administrative Code of 1987,[57] is to invite the plunder of all such government owned corporations.
	GR No. 157592 2008-10-17	PRESIDENTIAL COMMISSION ON GOOD GOVERNMENT v. SANDIGANBAYAN NACHURA, J.
The authority of the PCGG to validly enter into compromise agreement for the purpose of avoiding litigation or putting an end to one already commenced is indisputable.[19] It is significant that the PCGG-Benedicto Compromise Agreement explicitly included Civil Case No. 0034 as part of the reciprocal concessions between the Republic of the Philippines and Roberto S. Benedicto, thus:WHEREAS, specifically, these claims are the subject matter of the following cases:
	GR NO. 162775 2006-10-27	INTERCONTINENTAL BROADCASTING CORPORATION v. NOEMI B. AMARILLA CALLEJO, SR., J.
On various dates, petitioner employed the following persons at its Cebu station: Candido C. Quiñones, Jr.; on February 1, 1975;[3] Corsini R. Lagahit, as Studio Technician, also on February 1, 1975;[4] Anatolio G. Otadoy, as Collector, on April 1, 1975;[5] and Noemi Amarilla, as Traffic Clerk, on July 1, 1975.[6] On March 1, 1986, the government sequestered the station, including its properties, funds and other assets, and took over its management and operations from its owner, Roberto Benedicto.[7] However, in December 1986, the government and Benedicto entered into a temporary agreement under which the latter would retain its management and operation. On November 3, 1990, the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG) and Benedicto executed a Compromise Agreement,[8] where Benedicto transferred and assigned all his rights, shares and interests in petitioner station to the government. The PCGG submitted the Agreement to the Sandiganbayan in Civil Case No. 0034 entitled "Republic of the Philippines v. Roberto S. Benedicto, et al."[9]
