The following factual antecedents are matters of record.

Petitioner Phillips Seafood (Philippines) Corporation is a domestic corporation

情⼈節花束 engaged in the export of processed crabmeat and other seafood products. Petitioner
was incorporated on 20 October 1992 and registered under its previous corporate
2020 name of Phillips Seafood Masbate, Inc.

gloriosa orist.com
On 08 January 1993, petitioner registered with respondent Bureau of Investments
(BOI) as an existing and expansion producer of soft shell crabs and other seafood
香港九龍 新界送貨服務 products, on a non-pioneer status under Certificate of Registration No. EP 93-219. 4
⼼意花束,開張花籃, Petitioner's plant was situated in Piña, Masbate, while its administrative office was

帛事花籃,結婚花球, then located in Cebu City before it was subsequently relocated to Calong-Calong,

宴會佈置,花⾞佈置, Airport Subdivision, Bacolod City.

公司⽉花,蝴蝶蘭等 Petitioner was granted an Income Tax Holiday (ITH) for six (6) years beginning July

1993 to July 1999, 5 for locating in a less-developed area in accordance with Article

40 6 of Executive Order (E.O.) No. 226, otherwise known as The Omnibus


Investments Code of 1987.
開啟
Petitioner used to supply semi-processed raw materials to Phillips Seafood (Phils.),
Inc. (PSPI), an affiliate corporation also engaged in the export of seafood products,
before the latter's closure due to financial difficulties. On 21 July 1997, petitioner
acquired the right to use the canning facility of PSPI in Bacolod City during the
temporary suspension of PSPI's operations. Unable to recover from its financial
reverses, PSPI eventually stopped operations.

On 14 December 1998, petitioner acquired the title to the plant, facilities, equipment

and other assets belonging to PSPI, including its picking facilities in Cebu City. 7 In
October 1999, petitioner relocated its plant and office in Bacolod City to Barangay

Banica, Roxas City. Petitioner informed respondent BOI of said transfer. 8 Petitioner
also filed with respondent BOI an application for registration of its new plant having
an expanded capacity of 155,205 kilograms a year.

In a letter dated 18 November 1999, respondent BOI informed petitioner that the
latter's ITH under Certificate of Registration No. EP

93-219 would be extended until 12 August 2000, pursuant to Article 39 (a) (1) (ii) 9

of Executive Order No. 226. 10

On 06 January 2000, respondent BOI granted petitioner's application for registration


of its new plant in Roxas City under Certificate of Registration No. VI EP 2000-002.
Petitioner's registration was categorized as a new producer on a non-pioneer status

with an ITH for four years beginning January 2000. 11

On 22 June 2000, respondent BOI approved the registration of petitioner as a "New


Producer of Processed Fish" under another Certificate of Registration No. XI EP 2000-

74 with an ITH for four years beginning April 2000. 12

On 04 May 2000, petitioner filed with respondent BOI an application for an ITH for
taxable year 1999 under Certificate of Registration No. EP 93-219. It filed another
application for an ITH for the year 2000 under Certificate of Registration No. VI EP
2000-002 covering its crabmeat products and under Certificate of Registration No. XI
EP 20000-74 covering its processed fish products. ςηαñrοblεš νιr†υαl lαω lιbrαrÿ

Petitioner changed its corporate name from PS-Masbate to its current name of Phillips
Seafood (Philippines) Corporation, which was approved by respondent BOI on 16

February 2001. 13

2/11/2020 G.R. No. 175787 - Phillips Seafood (Philippines) Corporation v. The Board of Investments : February 2009 - Philipppine Supreme Court D…

In a letter dated 25 September 2003, respondent BOI informed petitioner that the
ITH previously granted would be applicable only to the period from 13 August 1999

to 21 October 1999 or before petitioner's transfer to a "not less-developed area." 14

Petitioner wrote respondent BOI requesting for a reconsideration of its decision. 15

On 03 May 2004, petitioner received by fax BOI's letter denying its motion for

reconsideration. 16 Petitioner elevated the matter to the Office of the President, which
dismissed petitioner's appeal on the ground of lack of jurisdiction in a Decision dated

22 September 2004. 17 The Office of the President likewise denied petitioner's motion

for reconsideration in an Order dated 14 March 2005. 18 Petitioner received a copy of


the order on 01 April 2005.

On 05 April 2005, petitioner filed a Petition for Review before the Court of Appeals,
questioning the dismissal of its appeal before the Office of the President. The petition
argued that the executive power of control over the acts of officials under the Office
of the President is superior to the appellate jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals over

decisions of quasi-judicial agencies under the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure. 19

After respondent BOI filed its comment on the petition, petitioner filed an omnibus
motion asking for leave to file an amended petition to counter the issues raised in the

comment for the first time and to suspend the period for filing a reply. 20

On 24 May 2006, the Court of Appeals rendered the first assailed resolution denying
petitioner's omnibus motion and dismissing its Petition for Review . The appellate
court denied petitioner's omnibus motion on the ground that the same was filed with
SEARCH FOR MORE intent to delay the case. Simultaneously, the appellate court dismissed the Petition
free online registrations for Review for having been filed out of time as petitioner opted to appeal to the Office
of the President instead of filing a Rule 43 petition to the Court of Appeals within the
supreme court cases and decisions
reglementary period. On 24 November 2006, the Court of Appeals issued the second
assailed resolution denying petitioner's motion for reconsideration.
consulta de causas judiciales por nombre
Hence, the instant petition anchored on the following arguments: (1) petitioner's
company registered o ce address
omnibus motion asking for the amendment of its Petition for Review was filed to
avoid the multiplicity of suits; (2) the executive power of control over the acts of
business lawyer
department secretaries must not be rendered illusory by rules of procedure; and (3)

In the main, petitioner argues that the review by the Office of the President of the
decisions of respondent BOI must be allowed; otherwise, the President's
supreme court cases and decisions
constitutional power to review the decisions of department secretaries will be
consulta de causas judiciales por rendered
nombre illusory if said decisions may be reviewed only by the Court of Appeals.

The right to appeal is not a constitutional, natural or inherent right - it is a statutory


company registered o ce address
privilege and of statutory origin and, therefore, available only if granted or provided

by statute. It may be exercised only in the manner prescribed by, and in accordance

with, the provisions of the law. 21 Thus, in determining the appellate procedure

imperative.
supreme court cases and decisions
The BOI was created by virtue of E.O. No. 226 at the time when then President
consulta de causas judiciales por Corazon
nombre Aquino was exercising legislative powers under the Freedom Constitution
Executive Order (E.O.) No. 226, otherwise known as the Omnibus Investments Acts
company registered o ce address
of 1987, laid down the powers and duties of respondent both as a policy-making body
and a regulatory agency tasked with facilitating the growth of investment in the
philips v board of investments
country. Article 7, E.O. No. 226 directs respondent to act as a collegial body when
exercising its duties and powers. In addition to its administrative or policy-making
and regulatory functions, the BOI is also empowered to promulgate rules and

February-2009 Jurisprudence regulations to implement the provisions of E.O. No. 226. 22

2/11/2020 G.R. No. 175787 - Phillips Seafood (Philippines) Corporation v. The Board of Investments : February 2009 - Philipppine Supreme Court D…
As a policy-making body, the BOI is charged with the duties, among others, of
A.C. No. 7056 : February 11, preparing an annual investment priorities plan that gives incentives to specific
2009 - PLUS BUILDERS, INC., activities, 23 of recommending to the Bureau of Immigration the entry of foreign
and EDGARDO C. GARCIA,
nationals for employment purposes, 24 and of inspecting registered enterprises for

compliance purposes. 25
ANASTACIO E. REVILLA, JR.,
Respondent. Among the regulatory functions of the BOI are the processing of applications for

registration, 26 the cancellation of registration or suspension of the enjoyment of


A.C. No. 5338 - Eugenia
certain incentives under E.O. No. 226, 27 and the resolution of controversies arising
Mendoza v. Atty. Victor V.
from the implementation of E.O. No. 226. 28 There is no doubt that the resolution of
Deciembre
petitioner's claim that it is entitled to the ITH in the instant case calls for the exercise
of the BOI's regulatory functions.
A.C. No. 7084 - Conrado G.
Fernandez v. Atty. Maria Angelica E.O. No. 226 also provides for various remedies from the action or decision of the
P. De Ramos-Villalon BOI, depending on the nature of the controversy. These remedies, which are
interspersed among the provisions of E.O. No. 226, are as follows:
A.C. No. 7181 - Maria Angalan,

et al. E.O. No. 226 apparently allows two avenues of appeal from an action or decision of
the BOI, depending on the nature of the controversy. One mode is to elevate an
A.M. No. P-07-2391 - Jennifer appeal to the Office of the President when the action or decision pertains to either of
B. Domingo v. Silvino R. Malana, these two instances: first, in the decisions of the BOI over controversies concerning
Jr. et al. the implementation of the relevant provisions of E.O No. 226 that may arise between

registered enterprises or investors and government agencies under Article 7; 29 and


A.M. No. P-07-2392 Formerly second, in an action of the BOI over applications for registration under the
OCA IPI No. 07-2579-P -
investment priorities plan under Article 36. 30
Rosalinda C. Aguilar v. Ronberto
V. Balino etc. Another mode of review is to elevate the matter directly to judicial tribunals. For
instance, under Article 50, E.O. No. 226, a party adversely affected by the issuance
A.M. No. P-08-2453 Formerly of a license to do business in favor of an alien or a foreign firm may file with the

OCA IPI No. 08-2764-P - proper Regional Trial Court an action to cancel said license. Then, there is Article 82,
Florencio R. Bernabe v. Zenaida E.O. No. 226, which, in its broad phraseology, authorizes the direct appeal to the
C. Grimaldo, etc. Supreme Court from any order or decision of respondent BOI "involving the
provisions of E.O. No. 226."

A.M. No. P-08-2521 Formerly


E.O. No. 226 contains no provision specifically governing the remedy of a party

whose application for an ITH has been denied by the BOI in the same manner that
Christopher D. Manaog v. Arnel
Articles 7 and 36 thereof allow recourse to the Office of the President in certain
Jose A. Rubio, et al.
instances. Nevertheless, Article 82 of E.O. No. 22 is the catch-all provision allowing
the appeal to the courts from all other decisions of respondent BOI involving the
A.M. No. P-09-2598 Formerly
other provisions of E.O. No. 226. The intendment of the law is undoubtedly to afford

The executive power of control over the acts of department secretaries is laid down in
