In a Minute Resolution dated May 20, 2021, this Court noted the insufficiency of the copies of the said Motion for Reconsideration. Accordingly, pursuant to A.M.

RESOLUTION CTA AC No. 238 Municipa lity of Itogon, Benguet, et. al. v. National Power Corporation et. al. such additional copies within the prescribed period shall constrain this Court to consider the said Motion as deemed not filed. Petitioners failed to comply with the said Minute Resolution despite due notice per Records Verification dated July 12, 2021. CTA En Bane Resolution No. 4-2012 dated September 3, 2012 explicitly provides that "failure to submit the lacking documents within the period given shall constrain the Court to consider the pleading/submission as deemed not filed." Given that only a single copy of the Motion for Reconsideration was filed and petitioners utterly failed to submit the lacking copies as directed, petitioners' Motion for Reconsideration is DEEMED NOT FILED and is thus considered a mere scrap of paper.
