This case has been cited 4 times or more.

	GR No. 172538 2012-04-25	ISABELO ESPERIDA v. FRANCO K. JURADO PERALTA, J.
The case of Mutuc v. Court of Appeals[20] is instructive as to what due process means in contempt proceedings. This Court stated: There is no question that the "essence of due process is a hearing before conviction and before an impartial and disinterested tribunal" x x x but due process as a constitutional precept does not always, and in all situations, require a trial-type proceeding x x x. The essence of due process is to be found in the reasonable opportunity to be heard and submit any evidence one may have in support of one's defense. x x x "To be heard" does not only mean verbal arguments in court; one may be heard also through pleadings. Where opportunity to be heard, either through oral arguments or pleadings, is accorded, there is no denial of procedural due process.[21]
	GR No. 173289 2010-02-17	ELAND PHILIPPINES v. AZUCENA GARCIA PERALTA, J.
Due process, a constitutional precept, does not, therefore, always and in all situations a trial-type proceeding. The essence of due process is found in the reasonable opportunity to be heard and submit one's evidence in support of his defense. What the law prohibits is not merely the absence of previous notice, but the absence thereof and the lack of opportunity to be heard.[47]
	GR No. 174966 2008-02-14	DEVELOPMENT BANK OF PHILIPPINES v. ROMEO TESTON CARPIO MORALES, J.
That rescission of a sale creates the obligation to return the things which were the object of the contract, together with their fruits, and the price with its interests is undisputed.[24] However, to require DBP to return the alleged P1,000,000 without first giving it an opportunity to present evidence would violate the Constitutional provision that "[n]o person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law x x x."[25] The essence of due process is to be found in the reasonable opportunity to be heard and submit any evidence one may have in support of one's defense.[26]
	AC. NO. 6483 2007-08-31	NICOLAS O. TAN v. ATTY. AMADEO E. BALON YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
Thus, respondent was properly accorded his right to due process. The essence of due process is to be found in the reasonable opportunity to be heard and submit any evidence one may have in support of one's defense. "To be heard" does not only mean verbal arguments in court; one may be heard also through pleadings. Where opportunity to be heard, either through oral arguments or pleadings, is accorded, there is no denial of procedural due process.[12]
