(1) Manila Prince Hotel vs. GSIS 267 SCRA 408 (1997)
ISSUE: Whether or Not the provisions of the Constitution, particularly Article XII Section 10, are
self-executing.
FACTS: The GSIS, pursuant to the privatization program of the Government under Proclamation 50
dated 8 December 1986, decided to sell through public bidding 30% to 51% of the issued and
outstanding shares of the Manila Hotel (MHC).

SPP No. 12-191 (PLM) without conducting any further proceedings. The Court ruled that the
Omnibus Resolution dated May 10, 2013 of the Commission on Elections En Banc in SPP No. 12-
157 (PLM) and SPP No. 12-191 (PLM) is REVERSED and SET ASIDE insofar as Coalition of
