	AC. No. 7474 2014-09-09	PRESIDING JUDGE JOSE L. MADRID v. ATTY. JUAN S. DEALCA BERSAMIN, J.
The requirement for stating the facts and the law does not apply to the minute resolutions that the Court issues in disposing of a case. The Court explained why in Borromeo v. Court of Appeals: [27]
	GR NO. 154994 AND 156254 2005-06-28	JOYCELYN PABLO-GUALBERTO v. CRISANTO RAFAELITO GUALBERTO V PANGANIBAN, J.
Second, the requirement in Section 1 of Rule 36 (for judges to state clearly and distinctly the reasons for their dispositions) refers only to decisions and final orders on the merits, not to those resolving incidental matters.[27] The provision reads:"SECTION 1. Rendition of judgments and final orders. A judgment or final order determining the merits of the case shall be in writing personally and directly prepared by the judge, stating clearly and distinctly the facts and the law on which it is based, signed by him, and filed with the clerk of court."
