g9 \langnp9 It is clear from the Omnibus Order of the RTC that it dismissed the
Amended Complaint because the supervening events had rendered the case moot thro
ugh the voluntary act of the GA as the highest policy-making body of the coopera
tive to declare the contested positions vacant and to elect a new set of officer
s. As a consequence, respondents no longer had the personality or the cause of a
ction to maintain the case against petitioners herein. Thus, the RTC committed n
o error when it dismissed the case.}{\fs22 \kerning2 \dbch \af4 \hich \af4 \loch
