	GR No. 158568 2004-11-17	ALICIA D. TAGARO v. ESTER A. GARCIA CARPIO MORALES, J.
Forum-shopping is a deplorable practice of litigants in resorting to two different fora for the purpose of obtaining the same relief, to increase his or her chances of obtaining a favorable judgment. What is pivotal to consider in determining whether forum shopping exists or not is the vexation caused to courts and the parties-litigants by a person who asks appellate courts and/or administrative entities to rule on the same related causes and/or to grant the same or substantially the same relief, in the process creating the possibility of conflicting decisions by the different courts or fora upon the same issues.[28] (Italics in the original, emphasis and underscoring supplied; citation omitted).
