From the above, it is clear that the CA, after it has already allowed
petitioner an extension of 15 days within which to file a petition for
review, may only grant a further extension when presented with the most
compelling reason but same is limited only to a period of 15 days. Thus,
when the CA denied petitioner’s Second Motion for Extension of five
days, it was merely following the above mentioned provision of the rules
after it found the reason for the second extension as not compelling. And,
considering that the CA has already sufficiently explained how it was
able to arrive at the conclusion that there is no compelling reason for
such second extension, we deem it unnecessary to repeat the same
especially since we are in total agreement with the ratiocination of the
CA.
