Counsel for petitioner holds office in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental, in the Visayas; while counsel for respondent holds office in Quezon City, Metro Manila, in Luzon. Given the considerable distance between the offices of these two counsels, personal service of pleadings and motions by one upon the other was clearly not practicable and a written explanation as to why personal service was not done would only be superfluous (City of Dumaguete, herein represented by City Mayor, Agustin R. Perdices Vs. Philippines Ports Authority, G.R. No. 168973. August 24, 2011).
