LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
Although this petition was filed in 2007, years before the effectivity of the Rules of Procedure for Environmental Cases, it has been consistently held that rules of procedure "may be retroactively applied to actions pending and undetermined at the time of their passage and will not violate any right of a person who may feel that he is adversely affected, inasmuch as there is no vested rights in rules of procedure."[54]

The fresh period rule may be applied to this case, for the Court has already retroactively extended the fresh period rule to "actions pending and undetermined at the time of their passage and this will not violate any right of a person who may feel that he is adversely affected, inasmuch as there are no vested rights in rules of procedure."[27]  According to De los Santos v. Vda. de Mangubat:[28]

AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
This fresh 15-day period within which to file notice of appeal counted from notice of the denial of the motion for reconsideration may be applied to petitioners' case inasmuch as rules of procedure may be given retroactive effect to actions pending and undetermined at the time of their passage.[19]  Thus, in Republic of the Philippines v. Court of Appeals,[20] involving A.M. No. 00-2-03-SC, which provided for the rule that the 60-day period within which to file a petition for certiorari shall be reckoned from receipt of the order denying the motion for reconsideration, the Court stated that rules of procedure "may be given retroactive effect to actions pending and undetermined at the time of their passage and this will not violate any right of a person who may feel that he is adversely affected, inasmuch as there is no vested rights in rules of procedure."
