“LITO” ATIENZA GR # / date of G.R. No. 175241. February 24, 2010 promulgation Ponente CARPIO-MORALES, J. (State division or en banc) Topic Administrative; Quasi-Judicial Proceedings; Arbitration ; Aspects of the Proceedings Nature of Action PETITION for review on certiorari of the decision and resolution of the Court of Appeals Facts Petitioners filed a filed with the Office of the City Mayor of Manila a letter application4 for a permit to rally at the foot of Mendiola Bridge on June 22, 2006 from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. to be participated in by IBP officers and members, law students and multi-sectoral organizations. Respondent issued a permit dated June 16, 2006 allowing the IBP to stage a rally on given date but indicated therein Plaza Miranda as the venue, instead of Mendiola Bridge, which permit the IBP received on June 19, 2006.
The rally pushed through at Mendiola Bridge, and as alleged by the
Petitioners, the participants voluntarily dispersed after the peaceful conduct of the program. A few days later, the MPD instituted a criminal action,against Cadiz for violating the Public Assembly Act in staging a rally at a venue not indicated in the permit. Issues Whether the partial grant of the application runs contrary to the Pubic Assembly Act and violates the constitutional right to freedom of expression and public assembly. Rulings Yes, In modifying the permit outright, respondent gravely abused his discretion when he did not immediately inform the IBP who should have been heard first on the matter of his perceived imminent and grave danger of a substantive evil that may warrant the changing of the venue. The opportunity to be heard precedes the action on the permit, since the applicant may directly go to court after an unfavorable action on the permit.
Respondent failed to indicate how he had arrived at modifying the terms
of the permit against the standard of a clear and present danger test which, it bears repeating, is an indispensable condition to such modification. Nothing in the issued permit adverts to an imminent and grave danger of a substantive evil, which “blank” denial or modification would, when granted imprimatur as the appellate court would have it, render illusory any judicial scrutiny thereof.
