the test for a motion for summary judgment is whether the pleadings, affidavits or
exhibits in support of the motion are sufficient to overcome the opposing papers

DECISION
DEL CASTILLO, J.:
In an ejectment case mandated to be tried under summary procedure, the
paramount consideration is its expeditious and inexpensive resolution without
regard to technicalities.
Nocom v. Camerino,27 is
instructive, to wit:
x x x When the pleadings on file show that there are no genuine issues
of
fact to be tried, the Rules of Court allow a party to obtain immediate
relief
by way of summary judgment, that is, when the facts are not in
dispute,
the court is allowed to decide the case summarily by applying the law
to

the material facts. Conversely, where the pleadings tender a genuine


issue,
summary judgment is not proper. A genuine issue" is such issue of
fact
which requires the presentation of evidence as distinguished from a
sham,
fictitious, contrived or false claim. Section 3 of [Rule 35 of the Rules of
Court] provides two (2) requisites for summary judgment to be proper:
(1)
there must be no genuine issue as to any material fact, except for the
amount of damages; and (2) the party presenting the motion for
summary
judgment must be entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. A
summary
judgment is permitted only if there is no genuine issue as to any
material
fact and a moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law. A
summary judgment is proper if, while the pleadings on their face
appear to
raise issues, the affidavits, depositions, and admissions presented by
the
moving party show that such issues are not genuine.28
