CONCERNED OFFICIALS OF METROPOLITAN WATERWORKS v. OMBUDSMAN VASQUEZ

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

2009-10-02
LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
Public respondent claims that the Appraisal Committees created under E.O. 132 are endowed with special technical knowledge, skills, expertise and training on the subject of appraisal; that the discretion given to the authorities on this matter is of such wide latitude that the Court will not interfere therewith, unless it is apparent that it is being used as a shield to a fraudulent transaction; and that government agencies or bodies dealing with basically technical matters deserve to be disentangled from undue interference from the courts, and so from the Ombudsman as well (Concerned Officials of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System [MWSS] v. Vasquez,[87] citing Felipe Ysmael, Jr. & Co., Inc. v. Deputy Executive Secretary[88] ).[89]
