Court of Appeals

The Court of Appeals is one of the highest courts in the Philippines, handling appeals from lower courts and playing a key role in recent legal decisions, including cases on corruption, religious freedom, and human rights. It has been involved in significant rulings, such as upholding the dismissal of a case against an exorcist priest and affirming the adoption rights of children of a late film director. Its decisions often influence public policy and legal interpretations in the country.
