Finally, on January 28, 1981, Syjuco betook itself to this
Court, presumably no longer disposed to await Judge
Tecsons pleasure or the Lims convenience. It filed a
petition for certiorari and prohibition, docketed as G.R. No.

Tecson had gravely abused discretion in:

have barred all the others, all the requisites of res judicata
being present. The judgment was a final and executory
judgment it had been rendered by a competent court and
there was, between the first and subsequent cases, not only
identity of subjectmatter and of cause of action, but also of
parties. As already pointed out, the plaintiffs in the first
four (4) actions, the Lims, were representing exactly the
same claims as those of the partnership, the plaintiff in the
fifth and last action, of which partnership they were the
only members, and there was hence no substantial
difference as regards the parties plaintiff in all the actions.
Under the doctrine of res judicata, the judgment in the first
was and should have been regarded as conclusive in all
other actions not only with respect to the matter directly
adjudged, but also as to any other matter that could have
been raised in

Mangosing it was held that:
(a) strict compliance with the mode of service is necessary to
confer jurisdiction of the court over a corporation. The officer upon
whom service is made must be one who is named in the statute
otherwise the service is insufficient. So, where the statute
requires that in the case of a domestic corporation summons
should be served on the president or head of the corporation,
secretary, treasurer, cashier or managing agent thereof, service of
summons on the secretarys wife did not confer jurisdiction over
the corporation in the foreclosure proceeding against it. Hence,
the decree of foreclosure and the deficiency judgment were void
