VILLARAMA, JR., J. |
||||
| As to the contention of petitioner that respondent's motion for reconsideration filed before the trial court should have been deemed not filed for being pro forma, the Court finds it to be without merit. The mere fact that a motion for reconsideration reiterates issues already passed upon by the court does not, by itself, make it a pro forma motion. Among the ends to which a motion for reconsideration is addressed is precisely to convince the court that its ruling is erroneous and improper, contrary to the law or evidence; the movant has to dwell of necessity on issues already passed upon.[26] | |||||
