| With regard to O.P. Case No. 5902, Teodorico could not have validly intervened. He had no personality to register his objections through his undated letter which he filed on February 2, 1995 and his May 7, 2003 letter in which he sought a reconsideration of the OP's November 19, 1997 Decision; he was not a party appellant or otherwise in said case. Thus, "[h]e cannot impugn the correctness of a judgment not appealed from by him. He cannot assign such errors as are designed to have the judgment modified."[37] This view is in effect taken by petitioners themselves, with their argument in the instant Petition that since Teodorico was not an appellant in O.P. Case No. 5902, then he should not be bound by the November 19, 1997 judgment therein dismissing the appeal. If he did not intend to be bound by the judgment therein, then he had no business intervening in the case. | |||||
