Decisions / Signed Resolutions March 19, 2015 TENTH DIVISION DIMAAMPAO, J.:
DIMAAMPAO, J.:
The right to appeal is neither a natural right nor a part of due process. It is merely a procedural remedy of statutory origin and may be exercised only in the manner prescribed by the provisions of law authorizing its exercise. Hence, its require-ments must be strictly complied with.[1] Failure to observe the same will eventuate in the loss of the right to appeal.
