Whether the evidence is admissible? NO.

 The Court ruled that the law enforcers failed to comply with the requirements of a valid search
and seizure. None of these exceptions for a warrantless search is present in this case.
 Moreover, the constitutional immunity from unreasonable searches and seizures, being personal
one, cannot be waived by anyone except 1) the person whose rights are invaded or 2) one who is
expressly authorized to do so in his or her behalf.
 In this case, the records show that Damaso was not in his house at that time Luz, his alleged
helper, allowed the authorities to enter. There was no evidence that would establish the fact that Luz was
indeed Damaso’s helper or if it was true that she was his helper, that Damaso had given her authority to
open his house in his absence.
 Being a helper, she does not qualify as a person authorized to waive such right in representation
of her employer.
 Thus, the search being invalid for lack of warrant, the evidence obtained thereafter is
inadmissible.
