JULIET VITUG MADARANG v. SPS. JESUS D. MORALES AND CAROLINA N. MORALES
LEONEN, J.
To set aside a judgment through a petition for relief, the negligence must be so gross "that ordinary diligence and prudence could not have guarded against."[38]  This is to prevent parties from "reviv[ing] the right to appeal [already] lost through inexcusable negligence."[39]

JULIET VITUG MADARANG v. SPS. JESUS D. MORALES AND CAROLINA N. MORALES
LEONEN, J.
There is also no showing that the negligence could have been prevented through ordinary diligence and prudence.  As such, petitioners are bound by their counsel's negligence.[41]
