SEPARATE OPINION
QUISUMBING, J.:
I concur in the result reached by Ynares-Santiago, J., in her opinion and I join Davide, Jr., C.J., and Azcuna, J., in the majority vote to DENY the petitions.
While at the inception of this controversy, a trial by the Regional Trial Court would have been in order, remand of this case for trial at this late stage would only be a time-consuming and pointless exercise. Prompt resolution of the controversy is in order to avoid further delay.
