transcendental importanc​e is not defined in our jurisprudence, thus, in Francisco v. House of Representatives: There being no doctrinal definition of transcendental importanc​e, the following instructive determinants formulated by former Supreme Court Justice Florentino P. Feliciano are instructive: (1) the character of the funds or other assets involved in the case; (2) the presence of a clear case of disregard of a constitutional or statutory prohibition by the public respondent agency or instrumentality of the government; and (3) the lack of any other party with a more direct and specific interest in raising the questions being raised.
