When may Supreme Court review factual findings


MILAGROS MANONGSONG, etc., et. al. vs. FELOMENA JUMAQUIO ESTIMO, et. al., G. R. No. 136773, June 25, 2003

“x x x.

The issues raised by petitioners are mainly factual in nature. In general, only questions of law are appealable to this Court under Rule 45. However, where the factual findings of the trial court and Court of Appeals conflict, this Court has the authority to review and, if necessary, reverse the findings of fact of the lower courts.[22] This is precisely the situation in this case.

X x x.”
