    STATUTORY CASES

    Case Title: G.R. No. L-19650 (September 29, 1966)


    Caltex (Philippines), Inc. vs. Enrico Palomar in his capacity as The
    Postmaster General
    1) Facts
    The case before us now is a petition for declaratory relief against
    Postmaster General Enrico Palomar, parying that judgment be rendered
    declaring its Caltex Hooded Pump Contest not to be violative of the Postal
    Law, and ordering respondent to allow petitioner the use of the mails to
    bring the contest to the attention of the public.
    In 1960, Caltex launched a promotional scheme called Caltex Hooded
    Pump Contest which calls for participants to estimate the actual number
    of liters a hooded gas pump at each Caltex station will dispense during a
    specified period. The contest is open to all motor vehicle owners and/or
    licensed drivres. There is neither a fee or consideration required nor a
    purchase required to be made. The forms are available upon request at
    each Caltex station and there is also a sealed can where accomplished
    entry stubs may be deposited.
    Caltex wishes to use mails amongst the media for publicizing about the
    contest, thus, Caltex sent representatives to the postal authorities for
    advance clearing for the use of mails for the contest. However, the postal
    authorities denied their request in view of sections 1954 (a), 1982, and
    1983 of the Revised Administrative Code (Anti-lottery provisions of the
    Postal Law), which prohibits the use of mail in conveying any information
    concerning non-mailable schemes, such as lottery, gift enterprise, or
    similar scheme.
    Caltex sought for a reconsideration and stressed that there was no
    consideration involved in the part of the contestant(s) but the Postmaster
    General maintained their view and even threatened Caltex that if the
    contest was conducted, a fraud order will have to be issued against it
    (Caltex) and all its representatives. This leads to Caltexs filing of this
    petition for declaratory relief.

    The court ruled that the petitioner does not violate the Postal Law and the
    respondent has no right to bar the public distribution or said rules by the
    mails. The respondent then appealed.
