Execution Pending Appeal
he execution of a judgment pending appeal is an exception to the general rule that only a final judgment may be executed; hence, under Section 2, Rule 39 of the Rules of Court (Rules), the existence of “good reasons” for the immediate execution of a judgment is an indispensable requirement as this is what confers discretionary power on a court to issue a writ of execution pending appeal. (Centennial Guarantee Assurance Corporation v. Universal Motors Corporation, 737 SCRA 654 [2014])
