Administrative Due Process

In Administrative Case, the Ang Tibay Rules provides for the yardstick of due process. To give validity and
legality to the hearings conducted by the administrative agencies, these rules must be followed:

(1) Right to a hearing to present own case and submit evidence in support thereof.

(2) The Tribunal must consider the evidence presented.

(3) Decision rendered must have support.

(4) Evidence which supports the finding or conclusion is substantial (such relevant evidence as a
reasonable mind accepts as adequate to support a conclusion).

(5) The decision must be rendered on the evidence presented at the hearing, or at least
contained in the record and disclosed to the parties affected.

(6) The tribunal or any of its judges, must act on its or his own independent consideration of the
law and facts of the controversy, and not simply accept the views of a subordinate in arriving at
a decision.

(7) The tribunal should, in all controversial questions, render its decision in such a manner that
the parties to the proceeding can know the various issues involved, and the reasons for the
decision rendered. [Ang Tibay vs. CIR (1940)]
