No confirmed citationJanuary 1, 2025

Study material, not legal advice. Written and checked by the PhilippineLaws team to the best of our knowledge; not reviewed by a lawyer. A digest is a summary — the full decision is the authority, so read it before you cite it.

Don't cite this from here. The docket on file (G.R. No. 2025-MALACAMAN) could not be matched to any decision in the library, so it is not shown as a citation above. The case may well be real — find the reported citation before you use it.

Why it matters

Mandated that out-of-court identification procedures, including police line-ups and show-ups, must adhere to strict psychological and procedural standards to prevent 'suggestive' identification that taints the integrity of witness testimony.
