BUSTOS vs. LUCERO
G.R. No. L-2068 October 20, 1948/ March 8, 1949

FACTS:
Snapshots
Accused in this case during the preliminary investigation was informed of his charges and asked whether he pleads guilty or not, the accused entered a plea of not guilty. His
counsel moved that the complainant present her evidence so that she and her witnesses can be cross-examined. Fiscal and private prosecutor objected invoking Sec 11 of R 108
which was sustained by the court. In view thereof, counsel of the accused renounce his right to present evidence. Trial ensued. Pe titioner then filed a motion before CFI
Pampanga to remand the record of the case to the justice of the peace of Masantol, court of origin on the ground that the petitioner can cross-examine the complainant and

Magazines witnesses. SC dismissed his petition citing Dequito and Saling Buhay vs. Arellano, G.R. No. L-1336: "The constitutional right of an accused to be confronted by the witnesses
against him does not apply to preliminary hearings; nor will the absence of a preliminary examination be an infringement of his right to confront witness. As a matter of fact,
preliminary investigation may be done away with entirely without infringing the constitutional right of an accused under the due process clause to a fair trial." We took this
ruling to be ample enough to dispose the constitutional question pleaded in the application for certiorari. Heeding the wishes of the petitioner, we shall enlarge upon the
subject. Petitioner then filed his motion for reconsideration.(NOTE: SEE SC’S RESOLUTION)

Documents Petitioner’s contention:

i.
Section 11 of Rule 108 of the Rules of Court infringes section 13, Article VIII, of the Constitution.

ii. That said deals with substantive matters and impairs substantive rights.

ISSUE: WoN said rule impairs substantive rights

Sheet Music HELD: NO. Section 11 of Rule 108 is an adjective law and not a substantive law or substantive right. Substantive law creates substantive rights and the two terms in this respect
may be said to be synonymous. Substantive rights is a term which includes those rights which one enjoys under the legal system prior to the disturbance of normal relations.
Substantive law is that part of the law which creates, defines and regulates rights, or which r egulates the rights and duties which give rise to a cause of action; that part of
the law which courts are established to administer; as opposed to adjective or remedial law, which prescribes the method of enforcing rights or obtains redress for their
invasion.

SUNSTANTIVE LAW PROCEDURAL LAW

- which declares what acts are crimes and prescribes the punishment for - law which provides or regulates the steps by which one who commits a
committing them crime is to be punished.

Preliminary investigation is eminently and essentially remedial; it is the first step taken in a criminal prosecution. As a rule of evidence, section 11 of Rule 108 is also procedural.
Evidence — which is the "the mode and manner of proving the competent facts and circumstances on which a party relies to establish the fact in dispute in judicial proceedings"
— is identified with and forms part of the method by which, in private law, rights are enforced and redress obtained, and, in criminal law, a law transgressor is punished.
Criminal procedure refers to pleading, evidence and practice the entire rules of evidence have been incorporated into the Rules of Court. We can not tear down section 11 of
Rule 108 on constitutional grounds without throwing out the whole code of evidence embodied in these Rules.

Section 11 of Rule 108. Rights of defendant after arrest. — After the arrest of the defendant and his delivery to the court, he shall be informed
of the complaint or information filed against him. He shall also be informed of the substance of the testimony and evidence presented
against him, and, if he desires to testify or to present witnesses or evidence in his favor, he may be allowed to do so. The testimony of the
witnesses need not be reduced to writing but that of the defendant shall be taken in writing and subscribed by him.
