DANIEL V. ZARATE v. NORMA C. OLEGARIO

This case has been cited 3 times or more.

	GR No. 168081 2008-10-17	ARMANDO G. YRASUEGUI v. PHILIPPINE AIRLINES REYES, R.T., J.
We are not unmindful that findings of facts of administrative agencies, like the Labor Arbiter and the NLRC, are accorded respect, even finality.[83] The reason is simple: administrative agencies are experts in matters within their specific and specialized jurisdiction.[84] But the principle is not a hard and fast rule. It only applies if the findings of facts are duly supported by substantial evidence. If it can be shown that administrative bodies grossly misappreciated evidence of such nature so as to compel a conclusion to the contrary, their findings of facts must necessarily be reversed. Factual findings of administrative agencies do not have infallibility and must be set aside when they fail the test of arbitrariness.[85]
	GR NO. 157603 2005-06-23	NEECO II v. NLRC CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
Absent any showing that the Labor Arbiter, the NLRC or the Court of Appeals gravely abused its discretion or otherwise acted without jurisdiction or in excess of the same,[31] this Court is bound by its findings of facts. Indeed, the records reveal that the questioned decision is duly supported by evidence.[32] Findings of facts of quasi-judicial agencies like the NLRC are accorded by this Court not only with respect but even finality if they are supported by substantial evidence, or that amount of relevant evidence which a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to justify a conclusion. This quantum of proof has been satisfied in this case. These are, on the main, factual findings over which the Labor Arbiter and the NLRC are most equipped to determine having acquired expertise in the specific matters entrusted to their jurisdiction.[33]
	GR No. 137306 2001-03-12	VIRGINIA AVISADO v. AMOR RUMBAUA PARDO, J.
In Bustos v. Court of Appeals,[42] we held that once a decision becomes final and executory, it is the ministerial duty of the court to order its execution. Execution can be suspended when suspension is warranted by the higher interest of justice[43] and when certain facts and circumstances transpired after the finality of the judgment which would render the execution of judgment unjust.[44] Neither circumstance obtains in the present case.
