In Ledesma v. Court of Appeals, it elaborated on the
well established doctrine of due process in administrative proceedings as
follows:
Due process, as a constitutional precept, does not always and in
all situations require a trial-type proceeding. Due process is satisfied when a
person is notified of the charge against him and given an opportunity to
explain or defend himself. In administrative proceedings, the filing of charges
and giving reasonable opportunity for the person so charged to answer the
accusations against him constitute the minimum requirements of due process. The
essence of due process is simply to be heard, or as applied to administrative
proceedings, an opportunity to explain one’s side, or an opportunity to seek a
reconsideration of the action or ruling complained of.
