    2. What are the objectives in establishing the Rules of Procedure for

    6. The “Samahan ng mga Mangingisdang Puyat” filed a petition for
    certiorari and prohibition praying that certain ordinances, orders and
    resolutions passed by the province of PLN and the city of PP relating
    to the banning of shipments of live fish and lobster outside PP, be
    declared as unconstitutional on the ground that the said ordinances
    deprive them of their right to due process of law and of their only
    means of livelihood. The LGUs defended the validity of the
    ordinances by arguing that their issuance was a valid exercise of the
    local government’s power under the general welfare clause of the
    Local Government Code of 1991 (LGC).

    environmental law in the above case Explain. (20 pts.)

    When asked for the necessary permit from DENR, MM and PP were
    not able to give one. Both of them were charged with violation of
    Section 68 of the Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines. Both MM
    and PP pleaded not guilty during the arraignment. During trial, they
    raised the defense that Section 68 of PD 705 does not punish mere
    possession and transport of forest products, and instead punishes the
    acts of cutting, gathering and/or collecting timber or other products
    without license, which, they did not commit.

    Is the defense raised by MM and PP impressed with merit? Explain.


    (10 pts.)

    members of the NBI and the DENR in a checkpoint in Lucena City.
    When asked to present documents to show that he is authorized to
    transport Waling-Waling, he failed to show any. Is he liable for
    violation of any enivironmental law. Explain. (20 points)

    9. C and R were caught in the act of cutting two coconut trees by the

    elements of the Lucena City Police Station, without the necessary
