In Ang Tibay v. Court of Industrial Relations, the Supreme Court laid down the “cardinal primary rights” in administrative due process, ensuring fairness even outside judicial trials.

Key Points:

Right to a hearing

Consideration of the evidence presented

Decision supported by evidence

Decision rendered based on the record

The tribunal must act on its own independent consideration

The decision must be rendered in such a manner that the parties can know the issues involved

The tribunal must render its decision on the evidence presented at the hearing

In People v. Genosa, the Supreme Court recognized Battered Woman Syndrome (BWS) as a form of self-defense under Article 11 of the Revised Penal Code.

Facts:
Marivic Genosa killed her husband after enduring years of domestic abuse. The Court considered her actions within the context of BWS.

️ Issue:
Can Battered Woman Syndrome justify killing an abusive spouse as self-defense?

Ruling:
The Court affirmed that BWS may qualify as self-defense, but only if the elements of unlawful aggression, reasonable necessity of the means employed, and lack of sufficient provocation are proven.

Discussion Prompt:
Do you agree that the recognition of Battered Woman Syndrome sufficiently addresses the limitations of traditional self-defense under the Revised Penal Code?

Feel free to share your analysis — especially on how this precedent impacts subsequent cases involving domestic violence.
