SERENO, C.J. |
||||
| It is a fundamental rule that when a final judgment becomes executory, it thereby becomes immutable and unalterable.[79] It may no longer be modified in any respect, even if the modification is meant to correct what is perceived to be an erroneous conclusion of fact or law, and regardless of whether the modification is attempted to be made by the court rendering it or by this Court.[80] The only recognized exception is the correction of clerical errors; or the making of so-called nunc pro tunc entries which cause no prejudice to any party or when the judgment is void.[81] Any amendment or alteration that substantially affects a final and executory judgment is null and void for lack of jurisdiction, including the entire proceedings held for that purpose.[82] | |||||
