This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR No. 204172 2015-12-09	HERMOGENES E. EBDANE v. ALVARO Y. APURILLO PERLAS-BERNABE, J.
The essence of procedural due process is embodied in the basic requirement of notice and a real opportunity to be heard. In administrative proceedings, as in the case at bar, procedural due process simply means the opportunity to explain one's side or the opportunity to seek a reconsideration of the action or ruling complained of. "To be heard" does not mean only verbal arguments in court; one may also be heard thru pleadings. Where opportunity to be heard, either through oral arguments or pleadings, is accorded, there is no denial of procedural due process.[48]
	GR No. 180471 2010-03-26	ALANGILAN REALTY v. OFFICE OF PRESIDENT NACHURA, J.
Finally, it is well settled that factual findings of administrative agencies are generally accorded respect and even finality by this Court, if such findings are supported by substantial evidence. The factual findings of the DAR Secretary, who, by reason of his official position, has acquired expertise in specific matters within his jurisdiction, deserve full respect and, without justifiable reason, ought not to be altered, modified, or reversed.[19] In this case, petitioner utterly failed to show justifiable reason to warrant the reversal of the decision of the DAR Secretary, as affirmed by the OP and the CA.
	GR No. 168668 2009-12-16	PHILIPPINE ECONOMIC ZONE AUTHORITY v. PEARL CITY MANUFACTURING COROPORATION PERALTA, J.
It is settled that in administrative proceedings, a fair and reasonable opportunity to explain one's side suffices to meet the requirements of due process.[15] The essence of procedural due process is embodied in the basic requirement of notice and a real opportunity to be heard.[16] In the recent case of Pagayanan R. Hadji-Sirad v. Civil Service Commission,[17] the Court had the opportunity to reiterate the following pronouncements, to wit: In administrative proceedings, such as in the case at bar, procedural due process simply means the opportunity to explain one's side or the opportunity to seek a reconsideration of the action or ruling complained of. "To be heard" does not mean only verbal arguments in court; one may be heard also thru pleadings. Where opportunity to be heard, either through oral arguments or pleadings, is accorded, there is no denial of procedural due process.
