"Construction and interpretation come only after it has been demonstrated that application is impossible or inadequate without them.
They are the very last functions which a court should exercise. The majority of the laws need no interpretation or construction.
They require only application, and if there were more application and less construction, there would be more stability in the law,
and more people would know what the law is." (Yangco v. The Division of the Court of First Instance of the City of Manila.
29 Phil 183. 06 January 1915)
