The question

At any time after issues have been joined, a party may file and serve upon any other party a written request for the admission by the latter of the genuineness of any material and relevant document described in and exhibited with the request or of the truth of any material and relevant matter of fact set forth in the request. (Rule 26, Sec. 1, Rules of Court). A request for admission is not intended to merely reproduce or reiterate the allegations of the requesting party's pleading but should set forth relevant evidentiary matters of fact described in the request, whose purpose is to establish said party’s cause of action or defense. Unless it serves that purpose, it is pointless, useless, and a mere redundancy. (Limos vs. Spouses Odones, G.R. No. 186979, August 11, 2010).
