The plea, filed by Ralph Trangia, sought to compel a Manila City regional trial court judge to inhibit from hearing and deciding the violation of the Anti-Hazing Law case filed against Trangia and several others.
“After a careful review of the record of this case, as well as the applicable laws and jurisprudence, the Court finds that petitioner failed to prove his allegation that a court a quo committed grave abuse of discretion when it denied his motion for inhibition,” the CA decision said. With the denial, Trangia elevated his appeal to the Court of Appeals arguing that Judge Pagalilauan committed grave abuse of discretion amounting to lack or excess of jurisdiction in denying his motion for inhibition and the subsequent motion for reconsideration considering that she showed partiality in denying his demurrer to evidence despite clear showing that the prosecution failed to prove its case against him.
“It is settled that the trial court’s assessments of the credibility of witnesses is accorded great weight and respect on appeal and is binding on this Court, particularly when it has not been adequately demonstrated that significant facts and circumstances were shown to have overlooked or disregarded by the court below which, if considered, might affect the outcome thereof,” the CA ruled.
