	GR NO. 149576 2006-08-08	REPUBLIC v. KENRICK DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION CORONA, J.
Like all rules, procedural rules should be followed except only when, for the most persuasive of reasons, they may be relaxed to relieve a litigant of an injustice not commensurate with the degree of his thoughtlessness in not complying with the prescribed procedure.[21] In this case, respondent failed to show any persuasive reason why it should be exempted from strictly abiding by the rules.
