| On purely technical grounds, the Court of Appeals (CA) dismissed petitioners' appeal and denied their plea for reconsideration. Hence, petitioners come to this Court via this Petition for Review on Certiorari to assail the Resolutions dated October 10, 2007 [1] and March 11, 2008[2] of the appellate court in CA-G.R. CV No. 00257. | |||||

| As a rule, the findings of fact of the trial court and the Court of Appeals are final and conclusive and cannot be reviewed on appeal to the Supreme Court[18] as long as they are borne out by the record or are based on substantial evidence.[19] The Supreme Court is not a trier of facts, its jurisdiction being limited to reviewing only errors of law that may have been committed by the lower courts. Among the exceptions is when the finding of fact of the trial court or the Court of Appeals is not supported by the evidence on record or is based on a misapprehension of facts. Such exception obtains in the present case.[20] | |||||
