	GR No. 173390 2012-06-27	MELCHOR L. LAGUA v. CA SERENO, J.
In Estate of Felomina G. Macadangdang v. Gaviola,[17] the Court made a clear finding of negligence on the part of the lawyer handling the petitioner's case, but nevertheless affirmed the denial of the appeal. It confirmed that the petitioner was bound by his counsel's negligence. It ruled that "the right to appeal is not a natural right or a part of due process, but is merely a statutory privilege that may be exercised only in the manner prescribed by the law."
	GR No. 159781 2011-02-02	PETER BEJARASCO v. PEOPLE BERSAMIN, J.
The right to appeal is not a natural right or a part of due process, but is merely a statutory privilege that may be exercised only in the manner prescribed by the law.[5] The right is unavoidably forfeited by the litigant who does not comply with the manner thus prescribed. So it is with the petitioner.
	GR No. 188360 2010-01-21	SPS. HEBER v. SPS. NORBERTO BRION, J.
Jurisdiction over forcible entry and unlawful detainer cases belongs to the Metropolitan Trial Courts, the Municipal Trial Courts in Cities, the Municipal Trial Courts, and the Municipal Circuit Trial Courts.[37] The RRSP applies to prevent undue delays in the disposition of cases; to achieve this end, the filing of certain pleadings - a motion for reconsideration, among others - is prohibited.[38]
