Preface to the Fourth Edition
The Ateneo Law Journal humbly offers this fourth edition of the
Legal Citation Guide as it renews its commitment to provide a coherent and
simple yet extensive system of citation. Grateful for the gift of mentorship
and the wealth of experience imparted by past Boards, the present Board of
Editors sought to build on the foundations laid down by previous editions.
Every aspect of this new edition has been met with intense scrutiny and
thorough deliberation by the Board of Editors, guided by the cardinal
principles of clarity, simplicity, consistency, and identifiability. This fourth
edition has benefitted from updates and additions in response to
developments in the legal landscape within the Philippines and beyond its
shores. Several rules relating to primary and secondary authorities have been
refined to facilitate efficient identification of sources. The Guide now
provides for simplified citation rules for various international materials,
including United Nations sources, and features rules dedicated to
quasi-judicial decisions as well as films and broadcasts. Considerable attention
is given to the levels of citations and explanatory footnote texts to provide
guidance in attributing relevant sources and in enriching incisive discussions
of one’s work. Permanent links have also been introduced for internet
sources to make them easily available for future research and study.
Citation is undeniably a tedious task; nevertheless, it remains
indispensable in the legal profession heavily built on precedent. Likewise,
citation, when done conscientiously, is an exercise in humility; one
recognizes the debt of gratitude he or she has for others whose works made
possible one’s insights and expositions. With this fourth edition, the Journal
hopes that this Guide supports the work of jurists, practitioners, and learners
of the law as they advance the cause of truth and justice. Ultimately, more
than the mastery of the rules herein, what remains of paramount
importance is one’s keen understanding of academic and professional
integrity which this Guide endeavors to impress upon its users.
May this Guide continue the Journal’s enduring mission of promoting
legal scholarship since its founding in 1951. Ad maiorem Dei gloriam.
Jason L. Sy
Lead Editor
Preface to the Third Edition
Every legal analysis, to be persuasive, requires proper citation of authorities
for support, opposition, or comparison. Unfortunately, due to the complexity
of other citation systems, members of the Philippine legal community have
expressed the need for a simpler and more practical guide to legal citation.
Through the years, the Ateneo Law Journal has humbly responded to that need
through its Legal Citation Guide, which has been well-received since its first
iteration in 2008. Accordingly, to ensure that it remains responsive to the
needs of the legal community, the Journal dutifully presents this third edition
of its Guide.
Notably, this edition now includes rules on how to cite matters found
on social media, case texts available online other than those maintained by
commercial electronic databases, European case law available in the new
EUR-Lex database, as well as formal rules in citing court documents such
as transcripts of stenographic notes. Yet, even with these additions, the
Guide remains true to its ethos of providing a relatively small, practical, but
comprehensive citation system.
Again, every rule in this Guide has been meticulously studied and
deliberated upon by the Journal’s Board of Editors. The Guide also remains
consistent with and up to par with other citation systems in various
jurisdictions. As such, with this latest edition, the Journal trusts that this
Guide will continue to serve as an essential companion to members of the
Philippine legal community for years to come.
Paolo Miguel S. Consignado
Lead Editor
Preface to the Second Edition
The publication of the Ateneo Law Journal Legal Citation Primer in 2008 paved
the way for a systematic and convenient guide for legal citation and
scholarship. Primarily a compilation of the Ateneo Law Journal White Sheets,
the Publication’s informal editing and citation guide, and based on The
Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, the Citation Primer served both as a
tool for training the Members of the Board of Editors and a benchmark of
the Ateneo Law Journal’s tradition of excellence.
Recent developments in law and media, however, have rendered the
Citation Primer inadequate to cover the growing body of available legal
authorities and sources. This Legal Citation Guide serves as the revised and
updated edition of the Journal’s citation system. Published in
commemoration of the Journal’s 60th anniversary, this Guide promises a
more refined and nuanced approach to legal citation than its precursor.
Foremost among the changes introduced is a reduction of the Citation
Guide’s size for portability and ease of use. Moreover, the citation rules are
now laid down in a more user-friendly and concise manner.
Then as now, each citation was thoroughly deliberated upon by the
Journal’s Board of Editors to ensure a balanced and comprehensive
representation of the needs of legal citation. Refining the Journal’s citations
included greater attention to Supreme Court issuances and decisions. There
are now citation formats for separate and dissenting opinions accompanying
the majority opinions of the Court, unpublished decisions, and rules of
procedure not incorporated within the Rules of Court. Ordinances also
now have their own citation style in this edition. There is greater detail for
executive, legislative, and administrative issuances given their inevitable
importance when conducting extensive research on relevant legal
documents. The Guide also fine-tuned its adherence to Bluebook rules and
styles as far as practicable in order to conform with international standards
of legal citation.
Most
importantly,
this
Guide
also
presents
a
more
Philippine-centric approach to citation. Built upon the standards and styles
of The Bluebook, the rules herein have been revamped to suit the needs of a
localized body of statutes, jurisprudence, sources, and authorities. The
country of origin is now indicated for each foreign statute, jurisprudence,
or material, even including materials from the United States’ jurisdiction.
As legal sources and materials transform into electronic and online
formats, the Guide developed more citations for different types of internet
texts. As libraries continue to enable greater access to online sources, rules
of citation to electronic databases have also been added. For easier
reference, an annex which compiles some of the most commonly used
citation abbreviations have also been appended.
The legal citation style guide project of the Ateneo Law Journal is by no
means completed by this edition. Legal citation is ever evolving. It requires
constant review and development. As a testament to this fact, this Citation
Guide embodies the codification of 60 years of the Journal’s experience and
traditions in legal scholarship. It cannot stop there, however. With this
Legal Citation Guide, the Journal only affirms its duty to continually develop
and expand the scope of legal scholarship and, necessarily, that of legal
citation, too.

Preface to the First Edition
The system of legal citation can be confusing, even daunting, for students of
the law and experienced practitioners alike. It requires careful attention to
detail to ensure that those reading a piece of work will be able to trace its
roots and sources. In, perhaps, no other field is there a greater reliance on
precedent than in the law — thus, prompting a seemingly complex and
impenetrable method of citation. Law students and lawyers are all too often
easily intimidated or overwhelmed by this. The problem, however, lies not
so much in lack of skill, than in the lack of a clear and understandable
reference. While The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, published by
American law reviews, is useful and comprehensive, many practical
difficulties exist in relation to its use. Not only is access to it quite limited, as
it is not locally available, its focus is also primarily geared towards American
sources, at times making application challenging. Also, while a longer length
may be indicative of extensiveness, realistically-speaking, many users associate
convenience and functionality with short guides. It is with the goal of
addressing these issues that the editors of the Ateneo Law Journal publish this
Citation Primer.
The Ateneo Law Journal has established itself as a premier law review in
the country. For more than fifty years, it has exhibited unsurpassed zeal and
dedication to the advancement of legal scholarship. It has instituted an
enduring tradition of excellence which has been passed on to, and
maintained and enriched by, each generation of editors. Cognizant of the
importance of honing its editors’ skills in order to live up to the exacting
and elevated standards of being one of the country’s foremost publications,
the system of legal citation has been central to the training of its editors.
Ever the pioneer of progress in the field of law, the Journal now utilizes its
well engraved knowledge in the system of citation to once again break new
ground by providing a solution to the difficulties encountered in legal
citation.
This Citation Primer is the product of hours of deliberation and
research by the present Board of Editors. Each citation form was examined
and deliberated upon to ensure not only accuracy, but also facility in usage.
While it is principally based on the Ateneo Law Journal White Sheets and The
Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation, the editors have molded or
reinvented certain citation forms to suit the distinct needs of the Philippine
legal scholar or practitioner. The Board has expended all efforts to make
this primer as simple and user-friendly as possible, without diminution of
content or quality. It must be borne in mind, however, that this
publication is not meant to be all-encompassing, and is exactly what it
purports to be — a primer.
With this, the editors are proud to present to the legal community this
Citation Primer, with hope that it will serve as an essential and lasting
reference in the study and practice of the law.

INTRODUCTION TO LEGAL CITATION
AN OVERVIEW OF CITATION
Citation is particularly essential in the legal profession because legal
analyses depend on the examination of binding rules and norms.
Thus, it is imperative to determine with precision what these rules and
norms are. Citation facilitates this determination.
Accordingly, citation serves at least three purposes. First, it provides
support or contrast to assertions. Second, it allows proper attribution of
non-original input. Third, it helps readers identify sources for further
study or research.
To achieve these purposes, this Guide emphasizes accurate pinpoint
citation, i.e., directing the reader to the specific portion (e.g., article,
section, paragraph, or page) of a source. A pinpoint citation is complete
when a reader is given sufficient information to locate and to verify the
source, when that source is physically or virtually accessible to the
reader.
This Guide, however, is not meant to be

ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This Guide is intended for footnote citation. It is divided into five Parts:
Fundamentals of Legal Citation, Primary Authorities, Secondary
Authorities, International Materials, and General Rules of Usage.
Three typefaces are used for the prescribed citation forms in this Guide:
ordinary Roman font, Italics , and LARGE AND SMALL CAPITALS, otherwise
known as SMALL CAPS.
The rules herein were derived from THE BLUEBOOK: A UNIFORM SYSTEM OF
CITATION (21st ed. 2020) and THE MAROONBOOK: THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
MANUAL OF LEGAL CITATION (2019), and were modified for Philippine
practice by taking into consideration the MANUAL OF JUDICIAL WRITING
(2005) by the Supreme Court of the Philippines.
A. USE OF CITATIONS
A.1.
A citation refers to the sentence or clause immediately
preceding it.
A.2.
A citation is intended to:
A.2.1.
attribute non-original ideas;
A.2.2.
provide authorities relevant to the discussion; or
A.2.3.
offer sources for further study or research.
B. ORDER OF AUTHORITIES
B.1.
When citing multiple authorities, cite first the sources to which
non-original ideas are attributed, or those authorities which
directly provide support or opposition to the text.
B.2.
Authorities for support must be given first before those in
opposition. Support or opposition is indicated by introductory
signals (Section C of this Part).

C. INTRODUCTORY SIGNALS
C.1.
C.2.
Signals are used to convey the relation between the text and
the authority cited. These may signify:
C.1.1.
attribution; or
C.1.2.
support or opposition.
They are italicized for emphasis.
1. Direct Citation & Signals That Signify Support or
Attribution
C.3.
Direct citation, without any introductory signal, is used if the
cited authority:
C.3.1.
directly supports the text;
C.3.2.
identifies the source of a quotation or a non-original
idea; or
C.3.3.
identifies the source referred to in the text.
C.4.
“See” is used if the cited authority clearly, but indirectly,
supports the text.
C.5.
“See, e.g.,” is used if the cited authority:
C.5.1.
supplies an example of what is asserted in the text; or
C.5.2.
is supplemented by other authorities stating the same
proposition, but stating all of them is not necessary.
5.
C.6.
See, e.g., MAGDANGAL M. DE LEON, APPELLATE
REMEDIES 262 (2d ed. 2018).
“See also” is used if the cited authority supplies an additional
indirect authority for the text, when the direct authorities have
already been cited, bearing in mind the order of authorities
(Section B of this Part).

See also Pamela Samuelson, Good Legal Writing: Of Orwell
and Window Panes, 46 U. PITT. L. REV. 149, 151-57 (1984).
“Cf.” is used if the cited authority supports a proposition
different from the text, but provides sufficiently analogous
support when compared with the text.
C.7.1.
“Cf.” is derived from the Latin word conferre, which is
usually translated as “compare.”
C.7.2.
Use “Cf. also” when direct or indirect supporting
authorities have already been cited.
C.7.3.
“Cf.” and “See” are different. “Cf.” merely invites the
reader to compare the text with the cited authority for
however,
possible
analogous
support.
“See”,
confidently signals that the cited authority, at the very
least, provides indirect support even if it has to be
inferred from the text.
C.7.4.
Parenthetical explanations should be provided
whenever “Cf. ” is used to acquaint the reader with the
analogy or comparison. Meanwhile, the use of
parenthetical explanations is optional whenever “See”
is used.

2. Signals That Signify Divergence of Views
C.8.
“Contra” is used if the cited authority directly contradicts a
proposition in the text.
C.9.
“But see” is used if the cited authority indirectly contradicts a
proposition in the text.
C.10.
“See also” is used when direct contrary authorities were already
cited.

“But cf.” is used if the cited authority supports a proposition
analogous to the contrary of the text.

3. Signals That Signify Comparison
C.13.
“Compare ... [, and ...], with ... [, and ...]” is used if the cited
authorities, when compared to each other, support or
demonstrate the text.
C.14.
“Contrast ... [, and ...], with ... [, and ...]” is used if the cited
authorities, when compared to each other, evince contrary
positions against the text.
C.14.1. For example, the following citation supports a text
which argues that experts in the field of substance
abuse disagree as to whether substance abuse should
be considered as a form of mental illness. Notice how

C.15.
Like in “Cf.”, parenthetical explanations may facilitate a better
understanding of the comparison. However, unlike “Cf.”, these
signals tell the reader to compare authorities in order to find
support or opposition to the text, whereas “Cf.” is used to
compare the cited authority with the text itself to provide
analogous support or opposition.
4. Signal That Invites Further Research
C.16.
“See generally”
is used if the cited authority provides
background material to the text.
C.16.1. The use of footnote text or parenthetical explanations
is also encouraged when using “See generally” to
provide information regarding the relevance of the
source. This is used to guide the readers as to what
authorities can be used for further research or study.

To ensure proper pinpoint citation, authorities must be
completely cited from its main divisions down to its subdivisions
where the cited portion may be found.

D.2.
D.3.
It is sufficient to indicate the page number if the cited authority
contains only page numbers.
D.2.1.
Use the word “at” only to indicate page numbers, not
other subdivisions (e.g., sections, articles, paragraphs).
D.2.2.
When indicating consecutive page numbers (not other
subdivisions), retain only the last two digits of the last
page in the range (e.g., 751-58, 1203-07) except if the
previous digit changes (e.g., 1398-1400).
Use the section symbol (§) or the paragraph symbol (¶) if the
cited authority is divided by sections or paragraph numbers,
respectively.

(Phil. v. China), PCA Case No. 2013-19, Award, ¶ 761

numbers. Use the written abbreviation (para.) instead.

D.4.
The pinpoint citation must correspond to the internal ordering
system of the cited authority. If the authority is organized other
than by section or paragraph, cite using the abbreviations in
Annex D. For instance, use “art.” if citing an article, “princ.” if
citing a principle, and “n.” if citing a footnote.

D.5.1.
However, do not use parentheses if the cited portion is
not expressly distinguished as a further subdivision.
In such case, again, use the abbreviation (para.) to cite
paragraphs within these divisions.
D.6.
There is a space between the section symbol and the section
number (e.g., § 2). The same rule applies to the use of the
paragraph symbol (e.g., ¶ 7). There is also a space between the
section or paragraph number and the subdivision in parentheses
(e.g., § 4 (d), ¶ 10 (g)).
D.7.
Use two section or paragraph symbols when citing multiple
subdivisions (e.g., §§ 1 & 43 and ¶¶ 12, 17, 45, & 51). Likewise,
use the plural form of the abbreviations in Annex D whenever
proper (e.g., use “arts.” when citing multiple articles).

E. SHORT CITATION FORMS
E.1.
Short citation forms are normally used for subsequent citations
of previously fully cited authorities. Specific short citation forms
are usually provided for several materials within this Guide
(see Rules 1 to 77). Otherwise, the following special short
citation forms under this Section on Short Citation Forms (E) are
to be used in the proper cases.
1. Supra
E.2.
“Supra”, a Latin word for “above” or “earlier in this writing”,
is used to subsequently cite an authority which has been fully
cited previously, when no specific short citation form has been
provided in this Guide.
E.3.
Supra, however, cannot be used to cite an immediately
preceding authority. In such case, Id. must instead be used.
E.4.
Follow this format:
<volume
no., if any> <Last Name/s of Author/s or
Title of Work>, supra note <footnote no. of
initial citation>, <pinpoint citation>.
E.4.1.
The shortened form should appear in the same
typeface as in the full citation (i.e., whether in
SMALL CAPS, italics, or ordinary Roman font).
23. 4 TOLENTINO, supra note 2, at 112.
24. Tuazon, supra note 18, at 50.
E.5.
In a work with two authors, indicate each of the authors’ last
names, along with an ampersand (&) in between their names.
If a work was written by three or more authors, indicate the last
name of the first listed author followed by a comma and “et al.”

E.10.
“Id.” , an abbreviation of the Latin word Idem which means
“the same”, is used when citing exactly all the authorities:
E.10.1. in the immediately preceding authority within the same
footnote; or
E.10.2. in the immediately preceding footnote.
E.11.
If neither of the two conditions above apply, a different short
citation form (i.e., supra or the prescribed short citation form)
must instead be used.
E.12.
Id. cannot be used to refer to Incumbent and Repealed
Constitutions (see Rules 1 and 2), but it may be used for all
other authorities.

F. LEVELS OF PARENTHETICAL CITATIONS
F.1.
A second-level citation is parenthetically added if the information
conveyed is particularly relevant (e.g., when the source cited as
authority itself quotes or cites another source for that point).

F.2.
All the rules in this Guide (e.g., rules on typefaces, short citation
forms, pinpoint citations) shall apply to the parenthetical citation
in the same way as any citation outside the parentheses.
F.2.1.
To illustrate, suppose that certain authorities have
been cited previously in the work (e.g., in Notes 1, 4,
13, and 73) and they are to be cited again, along with
or as part of a parenthetical citation, the
applicable short citation forms (i.e., supra or the
prescribed short citation forms) must be used when
citing the authorities.

OF LEGAL CITATION
fundamentals of legal citation
One level of recursion may already be sufficient. If a source
cites a source, which itself cites another source, only one level
of parenthetical citation pertaining to the second source may be
indicated if particularly relevant.
F.3.1.
An additional level of recursion (i.e., a third-level
citation) may be included if the information conveyed
by the citation is particularly relevant.
F.3.2.
For example, the case of People v. Adriano quoted the
case of People v. Herrera, which itself quoted the case
of People v. Hilario. If the Herrera case is particularly
relevant, it may be parenthetically cited as illustrated
below. There is no need to include a third-level citation
for the Hilario case if it is not relevant.

G. EXPLANATORY FOOTNOTES & PARENTHETICALS
G.1.
Explanatory footnotes and parentheticals may introduce
information related to, but not appropriate for, inclusion in the
body of the work (e.g., when making a tangential point, when
explaining the relevance of an authority cited, or when clarifying
a statement made in the text). Such information may be in the
form of direct quotations lifted from the authority cited.
G.2.
Explanatory footnotes must be complete sentences and must be
accompanied by citations, if necessary.

II. PRIMARY AUTHORITIES
On the other hand, secondary authorities, dealt with in Part III of this
Guide, are sources of information which help explain, comment on, or
analyze the law. Unlike primary authorities, secondary authorities are
never binding but are merely persuasive.
The rules provided in this Part are applicable to both domestic and
foreign primary authorities. International materials, however, have their
own citation formats which shall be dealt with later in Part IV of this
Guide.

of pinpoint citation and subdivision symbols.
A. CONSTITUTIONS
Primary authorities are statements of law that issue from the sovereign
body, the legislature, the courts, or any other body with official capacity
to issue or to clarify rules within its jurisdiction. Primary authorities may
either be mandatory (i.e., binding) or persuasive depending on the court
level and jurisdiction involved.

See Annex A for the list of abbreviated State or country names.
1.5.
“CONST.” is in a typeface known as LARGE AND SMALL CAPITALS,
otherwise known as SMALL CAPS, which are uppercase letterforms
that are shorter in height than the capitals in a given typeface.
If you are using Microsoft Word in Windows, click
Ctrl + Shift + K (or Cmd + Shift + K in Mac) to format the text
to SMALL CAPS.

C. LOCAL & FOREIGN CASES
7. Reported Cases
Both local and foreign cases are primary authorities which are
dealt with under this Section (C) on cases. In the Philippines,
foreign cases are, at best, persuasive to local courts. The initial
citation format for reported local and foreign cases is as follows:
<Case
Title>, <case or docket no., if needed>,
no.> <abbreviated name of reporter> <first page
of report>, <pinpoint citation> (<court abbreviation>
<year>) (<Abbreviated State or Country Name>).
<volume
7.1.1.
Follow the abbreviated name of the reporter used by
the reporter itself.
7.1.2.
There is no need to indicate the case or docket number
when citing from the official reporters in a State. Thus,
the case or docket number is omitted when citing a
local case from the Philippine Reports (Phil.) or the
Official Gazette (O.G.).
125. Morfe v. Mutuc, 130 Phil. 415, 440 (1968).

124 A.D.3d 148, 151 (N.Y. App. Div. 2014) (U.S.).
7.1.3.
A commercial reporter may be cited only when it is
certain that it is a faithful reproduction of court
decisions or resolutions. When citing from a
commercial reporter, the case or docket number is
indicated if its inclusion greatly facilitates access to the
case. Accordingly, for local cases from commercial
reporters (e.g., Supreme Court Reports Annotated
(SCRA)), the case or docket number must be indicated.

consolidated in one decision, cite only the first one listed with its
corresponding docket number.
133. Disini, Jr. v. Secretary of Justice, G.R. No. 203335, 716
SCRA 237, 315 (2014).
7.5.
Generally, there is no need to indicate whether a case is a
resolution of a motion for reconsideration.
7.5.1.
However, if the decision sought to be reconsidered has
already been referred to in the work, the fact that what
is being cited is the resolution of the motion for
reconsideration may be parenthetically indicated.

V. GENERAL RULES OF USAGE
U. QUOTATIONS
78. Quotations of 49 Words or Less
78.1.
Quotations consisting of 49 words or less should be enclosed in
double quotation marks (“ ”).
78.1.1. Quotations within the quoted material should be
enclosed in single quotation marks (‘ ’). However, if the
exact passage being cited is itself quoted material in
the original, only one set of double quotation marks
should be used.
78.2.
All punctuation marks should be placed inside the quotation
marks, except:
78.2.1. colons (:) and semicolons (;); and
78.2.2. question marks (?) and exclamation points (!), if they
were not part of the original quotation.
78.3.
Thus, commas (,) and periods (.) are placed within the
quotation marks, even if the original text of the quoted material
does not contain them. This is for plain aesthetic purposes and
must only be used if the integrity of the quoted material will not
be compromised.
79.1.
Quotations consisting of 50 words or more should be in the form
of a block quotation. A block quotation must be single-spaced,
indented on both sides, and justified, and must not be enclosed
in double quotation marks. The footnote reference should be
placed after the final punctuation of the block quotation.
79.1.1. Quotations within the block quotation should be
retained using single quotation marks.
U. QUOTATIONS
79. Quotations of 50 Words or More
ateneo law journal
98
79.2.
The first line of the block quotation may be further indented on
the left margin if it is also the first line in the paragraph in the
original text being cited.
79.3.
If a word, or words, at the beginning of the paragraph of the
original text is, or are, omitted in the block quotation, do not
further indent on the left side nor use an ellipsis to indicate the
omission.
79.4.
Indicate the omission of an entire paragraph or paragraphs in
the block quotation by placing on the next line of the quoted
paragraph an ellipsis consisting of three periods (“ ... ”). This is
only done when one or more paragraphs are omitted in the
length of a single block quotation.
79.5.
If the block quotation is not contained in the body but, rather, in
the footnote text, the citation reference should not be indented
but should begin at the left margin on the line immediately
following the quotation.

U. QUOTATIONS
Appellees concede that the principal ingredient [involving]
strict scrutiny is present in the sex criterion.
Sex, like race, is a visible, immutable characteristic, bearing
no necessary relationship to [ability].
Sex, like race, has been made the basis for unjustified, or at
least unproved assumptions, concerning an individual’s
potential to perform or to contribute to society.
...
In asking the [Supreme] Court to declare sex a suspect
criterion, [the Amicus Curiae] urges a position forcibly stated
in 1837 by Sarah [Grimké], noted abolitionist and advocate of
equal rights for men and women.
She spoke, not elegantly, but with unmistakable clarity. She
said, ‘I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is
that they take their feet off our necks.’

80.1.
Alterations (e.g., substitution of letters or words, insertion of
material, or conversion of letter case) made to quotations are
indicated by enclosing such changes in square brackets (“[ ]”).
80.2.
When quoting a passage, significant mistakes found in the
original should be followed by “[sic]” (see Rule 90.4).
80.3.
Omitted letters or punctuations must be indicated by empty
square brackets (“[ ]”) (see Rule 90).
81. Omissions
81.1.
Omissions in the quotation must be indicated by an ellipsis,
consisting of three periods, with a space before the first period
and a space after the last period (“ ... ”).
81.2.
An ellipsis must not begin a quotation. It is used generally when
the omission is in the middle of the quotation (see Rule 89).
82. Emphases
82.1.
When emphasis is added to or omitted from the quoted text,
parenthetically indicate the same (i.e., “emphasis supplied” or
“emphasis omitted”) after the citation reference in the footnote.
Justice Claudio Teehankee stated,
497. Teehankee, supra note 379 (emphasis supplied).
82.2.
There is no need to indicate that the emphasis was sustained
from the original text, if such was the case.
U. QUOTATIONS
The fundamental principles of justice necessarily connote a
Rule of Law and not of men[,] and an acceptance of the concept
of human rights inhering in [every person] by virtue of his [or her]
very humanity and not granted to him [or her] by the State ... [,]
and fearless and committed lawyers to seek their enforcement
by a free and independent judiciary sworn to protect and
enforce the law without fear or favor.497

V. FOOTNOTE REFERENCES
83. Footnote References
83.1.
Every sentence or clause requiring any of the three functions of
citation (i.e., attribution, authority, or research) must be
accompanied by a citation, using footnote references at the very
instance when the need for it arises.
83.2.
Thus, footnote references need not always be placed at the end
of sentences.
83.3.
The footnote reference must be placed after a comma (,) or a
period (.) when such comma or period is used to indicate a
break or signify the end of a sentence, except if the integrity of
the quoted material will be prejudiced by doing so.
83.4.
On the contrary, footnote references must be placed at the end
of a word immediately preceding a hyphen (-) or
an em dash (—).
83.4.1. There must be a space between the footnote reference
and the hyphen or em dash following it.
83.5.
Footnote references should also be placed outside of quotation
marks and brackets, but not parentheses.
83.6.
If a footnote itself contains an assertion requiring support, a
citation to the relevant authority should appear directly after the
assertion. Refer to Part I, Section G of this Guide for proper
understanding of explanatory footnotes.
V. FOOTNOTE REFERENCES
After all, politics is a social activity through which people make,
preserve, and amend the general rules under which they live.1
As such, politics necessitates dialogue, not monologue2 —
which is why Hannah Arendt, to a certain extent, defined
political power as people “acting in concert”3 towards some
measure of political efficacy.4
general rules of usage
83.7.
101
If authorities are subsequently cited using supra, the supra note
numbers (i.e., each properly referring to the footnote number of
the initial citation) must be kept accurate, even after the
addition of intervening footnotes in the work.
83.7.1. If you are using Microsoft Word, use the
Cross-reference feature to create supra note numbers
by going to “References,” clicking “Cross-reference,”
choosing “Footnote” under the “Reference type”
dropdown menu, and selecting the footnote number of
the initial citation of the authority intended to be cited.
83.7.2. To update all supra note numbers after having added
intervening footnotes in the work, press Ctrl + A
in Windows (or Cmd + A in Mac) within the footnote
section of the document to select all footnotes therein
and then click F9 in Windows (or Fn + F9 in Mac).
83.8.
When a case is mentioned for the first time in the body and
is found in the middle of a sentence or a clause, the case must
be followed by a footnote reference which provides for the initial
case citation without any pinpoint citation. Another footnote
reference is placed at the end of the sentence or clause if the
text requires a citation (i.e., using Id. with the pinpoint citation).
498. Department of Education, Culture and Sports v. San
Diego, G.R. No. 89572, 180 SCRA 533 (1989).
499. Id. at 539.
83.8.1. However, if the said case is mentioned for the first time
in the body but is found at the end of a sentence or
clause, only one footnote reference (i.e., containing the
initial case citation with the pertinent pinpoint citation)
placed at the end of such sentence or clause is
sufficient.
V. FOOTNOTE REFERENCES
In Department of Education, Culture and Sports v. San Diego,498
Justice Isagani Cruz stressed that “[w]e cannot have a society of
square pegs in round holes, of dentists who should never have
left the farm[,] and engineers who should have studied

commas (,).
85.1.1. If the elements in a series are long and complex, or
involve internal punctuation or internal conjunctions,
separate them by semicolons (;).
85.2.
While commas are used to connect dependent clauses to
independent clauses, semicolons (;) are used to connect closely
related independent clauses.
85.3.

There should be no space before or after the hyphen.
88. Em Dashes
88.1.
Use an em dash (—) to:
88.1.1. denote a sudden break in thought that causes an
abrupt change in sentence structure; or
88.1.2. set apart an element added to give emphasis or
explanation by expanding a phrase occurring in the
main clause.
88.2.
Em dashes should be preceded and followed by a space.
88.3.
To avoid confusion, do not use more than a single em dash or,
in the proper case, a pair of em dashes in any given sentence.
89. Ellipses
An ellipsis is a group of three consecutive dots with a space on
both sides of the ellipsis, but no spaces in between the three
dots (“ … ”).
89.2.
Indicate the omission of words within a quoted passage by
replacing the omitted text with an ellipsis (see Rule 81).
89.3.
The general rule is that a quotation may end with a punctuation
mark even if some words in the original text are thereby omitted
(see Rule 78.2).
89.4.
To indicate the omission of words at the end of a quoted
sentence, replace the omitted text with an ellipsis followed by
the final punctuation of the sentence (e.g., “ ... .”).
W. PUNCTUATIONS
89.1.
ateneo law journal
89.5.
104
Indicate the omission of a complete sentence within a quoted
text by replacing the omitted text with an ellipsis between the
final punctuation of the preceding quoted sentence and the first
word of the following sentence (e.g., “. ...”). This may be used
in a single, continuous quotation or in a block quotation.
Article XIII, Section 7 of the 1987 Constitution provides that
“[t]he State shall protect the rights of subsistence fishermen,
especially of local communities, to the preferential use of the
communal marine and fishing resources, both inland and
offshore. ... Fishworkers shall receive a just share from their
labor in the utilization of marine and fishing resources.”
89.6.
If the omitted passage consists of one or more complete
paragraphs, then the ellipsis must appear alone in the center of
a new line (see Rule 79.4).
89.7.
An ellipsis should not begin a quotation.
90. Brackets
Where only one letter, word, or punctuation mark is removed
from a quoted text, use empty square brackets (“[ ]”) instead of
an ellipsis. There must be a space between the brackets.
90.2.
When the first letter in a quoted sentence must be changed
from lower to upper case or vice versa, enclose it in square
brackets. Refer to Rule 98 on Capitalization for further guidance.
90.3.
Substitution of letters or words, insertion of any material, and
conversion of letter case in a quoted text should be enclosed in
square brackets.
90.4.
Significant mistakes in the original, if maintained and
uncorrected, should be followed by “[sic]” but otherwise left as
it is in the original.

92. Numerals
92.1.
The numbers zero to nine (0-9) are spelled out.
92.2.
The first word of any sentence must always be spelled out.
Thus, any number that begins a sentence must be spelled out.
92.3.
If a number includes decimal numbers, do not spell it out.
92.4.
If a number in a series includes decimal numbers, numerals
should be used uniformly for the whole series.
92.5.
When percentages or peso or other currency amounts are
referred to, use numerals accompanied by the appropriate
symbol (e.g., %, P, $) (see Rule 95).

must be spelled out, including the words “percent,”
“pesos,” or “dollars.”
92.6.
Numerals must always be used when referring to sections or
subdivisions of statutes or other legal documents.
93. Ordinals
Ordinal numbers used in the body or text as well as in the
