FACTS
ISSUES
RULING
1. No, the Electoral Commission was acting within the legitimate exercise of its
constitutional prerogative in assuming to take cognizance of the protest filed by
Pedro Ynsua against the election of Jose A. Angara, and that the resolution of
the National Assembly of December 3, 1935 cannot in any manner toll the time
for filing protests against the elections, returns and qualifications of members of
the National Assembly, nor prevent the filing of a protest within such time as the
rules of the Electoral Commission might prescribe.
The Electoral Commission is a constitutional creation, invested with the
necessary authority in the performance and execution of the limited and
specific function assigned to it by the Constitution. The grant of power to the
Electoral Commission to judge all contests relating to the election, returns and
qualifications of members of the National Assembly, is intended to be as
complete and unimpaired as if it had remained originally in the legislature.
Moreover, the creation of the Electoral Commission carried with it ex necesitate
rei the power regulative in character to limit the time with which protests
entrusted to its cognizance should be filed.
