complainant or offended party may appeal or file a petition for certiorari or mandamus, if

- Garcia v. Ferro Chemicals, Inc., G.R. No. 172505, October 1, 2014, citing Mobilia
Products, Inc. v. Hajime Urnezawa, 493 Phil. 85 (2005)
Where the Court sustained the private offended party's right in a criminal case to file a
special civil action for certiorari to question the validity of the judgment of dismissal and
ruled that the Solicitor General's intervention was not necessary, the recourse of the
complainant to the Court is proper since it was brought in her own name and not in that
of the People of the Philippines. In any event, the OSG joins petitioner's cause in its
Comment, thereby fulfilling the requirement that all criminal actions shall be prosecuted
under the direction and control of the public prosecutor.
- People v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 183652, February 25, 2015, citing Dela
Rosa v. CA, 323 Phil. 596 (1996)
Section 5, Rule 110 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure states that all criminal actions
are prosecuted under the direction and control of the public prosecutor. The prosecution
of offenses is thus the concern of the government prosecutors. The purpose in
impleading the People of the Philippines as respondent in the RTC and in the CA is to
enable the public prosecutor or Solicitor General, as the case may be, to comment on
the petitions.
