In Our Resolution of 08 January 2014, appellant, through counsel, was required to remit within ten (10) days from notice the amount of Four Hundred Twenty Pesos (P420.00) as additional docket fee. Per return, the copy sent to counsel was not received for the reason “moved out”.

It is the settled rule that due payment of the required docket fees within the reglementary period is jurisdictional. In this instance, the last day to comply with the court directive is 18 April 2014. To this date, however, no compliance was made.
