THE RULES OF COURT DOES NOT PROHIBIT A PARTY FROM REQUESTING THE COURT TO ALLOW IT TO PRESENT ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE EVEN AFTER IT HAS RESTED ITS CASE.

   Any such opportunity, however, for the ultimate purpose of the admission of additional evidence is already addressed to the sound discretion of the court.  (Republic vs. Sandiganbayan, 4th Division, G.R. No. 152375, December 16, 2011, Brion, J.)
