    This case involves a challenge to the constitutionality of Section 19 of RA 8470, which sets the timeline for full deregulation. Specifically, the petitioner claims that the specified timeline is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court ruled that determining what constitutes a reasonable timeline is not a judicial function, but rather involves political and economic considerations best determined by the legislative and executive branches. The Court held that questions regarding the wisdom of particular measures or timelines for implementation are political questions not within the appropriate scope of judicial review, as they depend on policy determinations and not just legality. The judiciary does not settle such policy issues.

    CONGRESSMAN ENRIQUE GARCIA (petitioner) VS HON.

    RENATO CORONA, ET AL
    (respondents)
    G.R. No. 132451, December 17, 1999
    Ynares-Santiago, J:

    FACTS

     The SC initially declared RA 8180 unconstitutional and EO 392 void because 3 key provisions
    intended to promote free competition were shown to achieve the opposite result.
     Consequently, Congress enacted RA 8479, a new deregulation law without the offending
    provisions of the earlier law.
     The petitioner seeks to declare Sec. 19 of RA 8470, which sets the time of full deregulation,
    unconstitutional.
    ISSUE*

     Whether the timeliness or wisdom of the date when full deregulation should be effective is
    unconstitutional.
    HELD
    The Court ruled that what constitutes reasonable time is not for judicial determination.
    Reasonable time involves the appraisal of a great variety of relevant conditions, political, social and
    economic. They are not within the appropriate range of evidence in a court of justice.
    The term “political question” refers to those questions which, under the Constitution, are to be
    decided by the people in their sovereign capacity, or in regard to which full discretionary authority has
    been delegated to the legislative or executive branch of the government. It is concerned with issues
    dependent upon the wisdom, not legality, of a particular measure. The judiciary does not settle policy
    issues.

    *issue in relation to the topic political question and justiciable question.
