Practice question
A nominee receives notice of a petition but COMELEC proposes deciding against him without any opportunity to controvert its evidence. He is told that summary procedure eliminates that opportunity. What does Arquiza establish?
- Summary proceedings retain procedural safeguards, including opportunity to controvert and submit evidence
- Notice alone always eliminates every other safeguard
- The petitioner may prohibit a response
- Every summary petition is automatically granted
- No quasi-judicial body may consider evidence
