castro vs. del rosario digest

TOPIC: WAIVER G.R. No. L-17915 January 31, 1967 TEODORO M. CASTRO, petitioner and appellant, vs. AMADO DEL ROSARIO as Commissioner of Civil Service, DOMINADOR AYTONA as Secretary of Finance, MELECIO R. DOMINGO, as Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and TOMAS C. TOLEDO, respondents and appellants. FACTS: This is a proceeding in quo warranto, certiorari and mandamus originally filed in the Court of First Instance of Manila. The controverted position is that of Assistant Regional Revenue Director II, Manila, which became vacant on August 24, 1959, upon the promotion of its occupant, Alfredo Jimenez. Respondent Tomas C. Toledo was appointed in his place, and it is this appointment that is being questioned by petitioner Teodoro M. Castro in this proceeding. ISSUE: Whether the eight other Assistant Revenue Regional Directors waived their rights to the position by their failure to complain against Toledo's appointment. RULING: Waiver is the intentional relinquishment of a known right. The silence of the eight other Assistant Revenue Regional Directors does not amount to a waiver on their part. Waiver must be predicated on more concrete grounds. The evidence must be sufficient and clear to warrant a finding that the intent to waive is unmistakable. Castro himself, when he testified, could not categorically state that the eight others were not interested in the position. 6 Not having shown either seniority in rank among the nine Assistant Revenue Regional Directors outside the Manila District or waiver on the part of those who were senior to him Castro has failed to establish a clear right to the office which would entitle him to oust respondent Toledo.
