KALAYAAN ARTS v. MANUEL ANGLO

TINGA, J.
In the instant case, attached to the petition for review was the certified true copy of the assailed RTC decision. This Court held that Section 6 of Rule 43 does not require that all of the supporting papers or annexes accompanying the petition should be certified true copies or duplicate originals. What is mandatory is the attachment of clearly legible duplicate originals or certified true copies of the judgment or final orders of the lower courts.[35] Nevertheless, even if the pleadings and other supporting documents were not attached to the petition, the dismissal would be unwarranted because the entire records of the case will eventually be elevated to the appellate court, pursuant to Rule 43, Section 11 of the Rules of Court.[36]
