Par. 5(i) of Supreme Court A.M. No. 03-1-09-SC
requires that a witness has to be fully examined in one (1) day only. This rule
shall be strictly adhered to subject to the courts’ discretion during trial on
whether or not to extend the direct and/or cross-examination for justifiable
reasons. On the last hearing day allotted for each party, he is required to
make his formal offer of evidence after the presentation of his last witness
and the opposing party is required to immediately interpose his objection
thereto. Thereafter, the judge shall make the ruling on the offer of evidence
in open court. However, the judge has the discretion to allow the offer of
evidence in writing in conformity with Section 35, Rule 132.
