Separate Opinions

CRUZ, J., concurring:

I am delighted to concur with Mr. Justice Andres R. Narvasa in his scholarly ponencia which, besides reaching a conclusion sustained by the applicable law and jurisprudence, makes for reading both pleasurable and instructive. One function of the Court not generally appreciated is to educate the reader on the intricacies and even the mystique of the law. The opinion performs this function with impressive expertise and makes the modes of discovery less esoteric or inaccessible to many members of the bar.
