MENDOZA, J. |

| The law is clear that it intends for the other party to receive a copy of the written motion at least three days before the date set for its hearing. The purpose of the three (3)-day notice requirement, which was established not for the benefit of the movant but rather for the adverse party, is to avoid surprises upon the latter and to grant it sufficient time to study the motion and to enable it to meet the arguments interposed therein.[47] In Preysler, Jr. v. Manila Southcoast Development Corporation,[48] the Court restated the ruling that "the date of the hearing should be at least three days after receipt of the notice of hearing by the other parties." | |||||
