This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR No. 160756 2010-03-09	CHAMBER OF REAL ESTATE v. EXECUTIVE SECRETARY ALBERTO ROMULO CORONA, J.
The Secretary of Finance is granted, under Section 244 of RA 8424, the authority to promulgate the necessary rules and regulations for the effective enforcement of the provisions of the law. Such authority is subject to the limitation that the rules and regulations must not override, but must remain consistent and in harmony with, the law they seek to apply and implement.[64] It is well-settled that an administrative agency cannot amend an act of Congress.[65]
	GR No. 164763 2008-02-12	ZENON R. PEREZ v. PEOPLE and SANDIGANBAYAN REYES, R.T., J.
In Echegaray v. Executive Secretary,[76] this Court in a per curiam Decision held that Republic Act No. 8177,[77] even if it does not provide in particular the details involved in the execution by lethal injection, is not cruel, degrading or inhuman, and is thus constitutional. Any infliction of pain in lethal injection is merely incidental in carrying out the execution of the death penalty and does not fall within the constitutional proscription against cruel, degrading or inhuman punishment.[78]
	GR NO. 176267 2007-09-03	PEOPLE v. RANDY ALABADO Y DAVID GARCIA, J.
The penalty for murder is reclusion perpetua to death under Article 248 of the Revised Penal Code, as amended by Republic Act No. 7659, which act took effect on December 31, 1993.[39] Since there are no aggravating or mitigating circumstances, appellant should suffer the lesser penalty of reclusion perpetua for the murder of Ricardo Ampaya.
