A. Judicial Notice
1. There are matters in a litigation which must be admitted without need for evidence.
2. Judicial notice is based on the maxim, “what is known need not to be proved”; hence,
when the rule is invoked, the court may dispense with the presentation of evidence on
judicially-cognizable facts.
3. The taking of Judicial Notice is a matter of expediency and convenience for it fulfills the
purpose that the evidence is intended to achieve, and in this sense, it is equivalent to
proof.
