JUSTICE MARTIN VILLARAMA, JR.: OBJECTIONS TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF EVIDENCE CANNOT BE RAISED FOR THE FIRST TIME ON APPEAL:


objections to the admissibility of evidence cannot be raised for the first time on appeal; when a party desires the court to reject the evidence offered, he must so state in the form of objection. Without such objection, he cannot raise the question for the first time on appeal. What is of utmost importance is the preservation of the integrity and evidentiary value of the seized drug s as the same would be utilized in the determination of the guilt or innocence of herein appellant (PEOPLE vs. BAIDA SALAK, G.R. No. 181249, MARCH 14, 2011, VILLARAMA, JR., J.).
