RULES ON SUMMARY PROCEDURE:

     If the extension for the filing of pleadings cannot be allowed, it is illogical and incongruous to admit a pleading that is already filed late. to admit a late answer is to put a premium on dilatory measures, the very mischief that the rules seek to redress. (TERAÑA vs. DESAGUN, G.R. No. 152131, April 29, 2009, Second Division, Brion, J.).
