| The factual findings of the Court of Appeals are, as a general rule, conclusive upon this Court. However, jurisprudence has also carved out recognized exceptions[5] to this rule, to wit: (1) when the findings are grounded entirely on speculation, surmises, or conjectures;[6] (2) when the inference made is manifestly mistaken, absurd, or impossible;[7] (3) when there is grave abuse of discretion;[8] (4) when the judgment is based on a misapprehension of facts;[9] (5) when the findings of facts are conflicting;[10] (6) when in making its findings the Court of Appeals went beyond the issues of the case, or its findings are contrary to the admissions of both the appellant and the appellee;[11] (7) when the findings are contrary to those of the trial court's;[12] (8) when the findings are conclusions without citation of specific evidence on which they are based;[13] (9) when the facts set forth in the petition as well as in the petitioner's main and reply briefs are not disputed by the respondent;[14] (10) when the findings of fact are premised on the supposed absence of evidence and contradicted by the evidence on record;[15] and (11) when the Court of Appeals manifestly overlooked certain relevant facts not disputed by the parties, which, if properly considered, would justify a different conclusion.[16] | |||||
