Item 3 — the syllabus year is wrong. The syllabus dates Prudential Bank v. Panis August 31, 1988. The decision was promulgated August 31, 1987 — it appears in lawphil's August 1987 index and is absent from August 1988. The table and the digest carry the corrected year; worth raising in class so the citation you recite matches the report.
Captions worth knowing before you search. Two entries are captioned in the syllabus differently from how the reports caption them — both verified against lawphil:
- Items 9 and 10 — Philippine Refining Co., Inc. v. Aboitiz & Co. Aboitiz & Co. was only a co-defendant. The report captions it Philippine Refining Co., Inc. v. Francisco Jarque, Jose Corominas, and Aboitiz & Co., G.R. No. 41506, March 25, 1935 — commonly cited as Philippine Refining Co. v. Jarque. Note also that lawphil files it without the
L-prefix.- Item 16 — Land Bank of the Philippines v. Director of Lands. The full caption is Land Bank of the Philippines v. Republic of the Philippines, represented by the Director of Lands, G.R. No. 150824, February 4, 2008. The syllabus shorthand is accurate; search for "Land Bank v. Republic" if the syllabus caption returns nothing.
