JUDICIAL
CONSTRUCTION
AND
INTERPRETATION. Construction, verily, is
the art or process of discovering and
expounding the meaning and intention of the
authors of the law with respect to its
application to a given case, where that
intention is rendered doubtful, among others
by reason of the fact that the given case is
not explicitly provided for in the law (Black,
Interpretations of Laws, page 1, cited in
Caltex, Inc. v. Palomar, 18 SCRA 247).
UNCONSTITUTIONAL STATUTES. - It is
axiomatic that no ordinary statute can
override a constitutional provision (Floresca v.
Philex Mining Corporation, 136 SCRA 136).
