Practice question
A litigant seeks ordinary review of an adverse CTA en banc ruling. Is the Court of Appeals the next appellate forum merely because BP 129 broadly mentions quasi-judicial bodies?
- Yes, because the CTA remains an administrative board
- Yes, because all collegiate courts appeal to the CA
- No, the CTA charter provides a Rule 45 petition for review on certiorari to the Supreme Court
- Yes, if the amount exceeds PHP 1 million
- No, because CTA en banc rulings are never reviewable
