| We can concede that the unverified petition for relief from judgment of the OSG was filed out of time. Such a petition must be filed within: (a) sixty (60) days from knowledge of judgment, order, or other proceedings to be set aside; and (b) six (6) months from entry of such judgment, order, or other proceedings.[25] In the case at bar, the OSG admits receiving the May 24, 1999 Decision on June 22, 1999. Thus, when it did not file a notice of appeal of said decision within the 15-day reglementary period for filing an appeal, the OSG was left with the remaining remedy of relief from judgment subject to the conditions provided under Secs. 1 and 3 of Rule 38 of the Rules of Court. But, as thing turned out, the OSG, for the Republic, belatedly filed its petition only on November 24, 1999, or more than five months from receipt or knowledge of the May 24, 1999 RTC Decision. | |||||
