	GR No. 179611 2013-03-12	EFREN S. ALMUETE v. PEOPLE DEL CASTILLO, J.
Section 6,[1] Rule 120 of the 1985 Rules on Criminal Procedure allows promulgation of judgment in absentia and gives the accused a period of fifteen (15) days from notice to him or his counsel within which to appeal; otherwise, the decision becomes final.[2]
	GR No. 174431 2012-08-06	HEIRS OF JOLLY R. BUGARIN v. REPUBLIC MENDOZA, J.
This Court continues to emphasize that due process is satisfied when the parties are afforded a fair and reasonable opportunity to explain their respective sides of the controversy.[33] Thus, when the party seeking due process was in fact given several opportunities to be heard and air his side, but it is by his own fault or choice he squanders these chances, then his cry for due process must fail.[34]
	GR No. 184091 2011-01-31	EDWARD GARRICK VILLENA v. PEOPLE NACHURA, J.
Once an accused escapes from prison or confinement, jumps bail (as in the case of petitioners), or flees to a foreign country, he loses his standing in court. Unless he surrenders or submits to the jurisdiction of the court, he is deemed to have waived any right to seek relief from the court.[19]
	GR NO. 166980 2007-04-03	CARMELO C. BERNARDO v. PEOPLE CARPIO MORALES, J.
Estrada v. People[28] should, under the facts and circumstances attendant to the case, dispel any lingering doubts of petitioner on the validity of the trial court's proceedings.
	GR NO. 153198 2006-07-11	CRISANTA B. BONIFACIO v. PEOPLE CORONA, J.
The range of the penalty provided for in Article 315 is composed of only two periods, thus, to get the maximum period of the indeterminate sentence, the total number of years included in the two periods should be divided into three.[17] Article 65[18] of the same code requires the division of the time included in the prescribed penalty[19] into three equal periods of time, forming one period for each of the three portions. The maximum, medium and minimum periods of the prescribed penalty are therefore:Minimum period - 4 years, 2 months and 1 day to 5 years, 5 months and 10 days
	GR NO. 169091 2006-02-16	DATU EDUARDO AMPO v. CA YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
Litigants who are represented by counsel should not expect that all they need to do is sit back, relax and await the outcome of their cases.[12] Relief will not be granted to a party who seeks avoidance from the effects of the judgment when the loss of the remedy at law was due to his own negligence.[13] The circumstances of this case plainly show that petitioner only has himself to blame. Neither can he invoke due process. The essence of due process is simply an opportunity to be heard.[14] Due process is satisfied when the parties are afforded a fair and reasonable opportunity to explain their respective sides of the controversy.[15] Where a party, such as petitioner, was afforded this opportunity to participate but failed to do so, he cannot complain of deprivation of due process. If said opportunity is not availed of, it is deemed waived or forfeited without violating the constitutional guarantee.[16]
