Impeachment vs. Quo Warranto
Under Article 11, Section 1 of the 1987 Constitution, the President, the Vice-President, the Members of the Supreme Court, the Members of the Constitutional Commissions, and the Ombudsman may be removed from office, on impeachment for, and conviction of, culpable violation of the Constitution, treason, bribery, graft and corruption, other high crimes, or betrayal of public trust. All other public officers and employees may be removed from office as provided by law, but not by impeachment.

Independent Contractors
An independent contractor is one who carries a distinct and independent business and undertakes to perform the job, work, or service on its own account and under one’s own responsibility according to one’s manner and method, free from the control and direction of the principal in all matters connected with the performance of the work except as to the results thereof.
Ejectment: Unlawful Detainer and Forcible Entry
In the case of Eversley Childs Sanitarium v. Sps. Barbarona, G.R. No. 195814, April 4, 2018, the Supreme Court held that an ejectment case only resolves the issue of who has the better right of possession over the property. The right of possession in this instance refers to actual possession, not legal possession. While a party may later be proven to have the legal right of possession by virtue of ownership, he or she must still institute an ejectment case to be able to dispossess an actual occupant of the property who refuses to vacate.
