SUPREME COURT REPORTS ANNOTATED VOLUME 676 2/21/18, 1:43 AM
373
„Time and again, this Court has stressed that its jurisdiction in a
petition for review on certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court
is limited to reviewing only errors of law, not of fact, unless the
findings of fact complained of are devoid of support by the evidence
on record, or the assailed judgment is based on the
misapprehension of facts. The trial court, having heard the
witnesses and observed their demeanor and manner of testifying, is
in a better position to decide the question of their credibility. Hence,
the findings of the trial court must be accorded the highest respect,
even finality, by this Court.‰
