[5] Relucio v. Lopez, G.R. No. 138497, January 16, 2002, 373 SCRA 578.
	GR No. 130087 2003-09-24	DIANA M. BARCELONA v. CA CARPIO, J.
Petitioner Diana's contention that the second petition fails to state a cause of action is untenable. A cause of action is an act or omission of the defendant in violation of the legal right of the plaintiff.[5] A complaint states a cause of action when it contains three essential elements: (1) a right in favor of the plaintiff by whatever means and under whatever law it arises; (2) an obligation of the defendant to respect such right; and (3) the act or omission of the defendant violates the right of the plaintiff.[6]
