	GR No. 177931 2008-12-08	PHILIPPINE NATIONAL BANK v. DEANG MARKETING CORPORATION CARPIO MORALES, J.
In requesting for a 30-day extension or until June 11, 2006 to file answer, petitioner apparently reckoned the date from which the extension would start on May 12, 2006, which was not the last day of the 15-day period sought to be extended, it being May 5, 2006. By computation, petitioner actually sought more than 30 days, contrary to the period of extension it purportedly requested. The counting of the period was erroneous, even if one uses the material dates alleged by petitioner.[14] Petitioner clearly disregarded elementary rules[15] and jurisprudence[16] on the matter.
	GR No. 155758 2008-10-31	HEIRS OF JOSE ESPLANA v. CA AZCUNA, J.
Sec. 1, Rule 42 of the Rules of Court is very clear that petitioners are allowed an extension of only 15 days to file a petition for review with the Court of Appeals. Although a further extension not to exceed 15 days may be granted for the most compelling reason,[4] the grounds stated by petitioners do not entitle them to a further extension.
