	GR No. 168859 2009-06-30	UNITED COCONUT PLANTERS BANK v. E. GANZON CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
Although, as a general rule, findings of facts of an administrative agency, which has acquired expertise in the particular field of its endeavor, are accorded great weight on appeal, such rule cannot be applied with respect to the assailed findings of the BSP Monetary Board in this case. Rather, what applies is the recognized exception that if such findings are not supported by substantial evidence, the Court can make its own independent evaluation of the facts.[41]
	GR No. 130935 2000-05-11	ALLAN VILLAR v. NLRC BELLOSILLO, J.
The first issue involves a question of fact. It is well-settled that factual findings of quasi-judicial agencies such as the NLRC are generally accorded not only respect but, at times, even finality. However, the rule is not absolute and admits of certain well-recognized exceptions. Thus, when the findings of fact of the NLRC are not supported by substantial evidence,[4] capricious or arbitrary, and directly at variance with those of the Labor Arbiter,[5] this Court may make an independent evaluation of the facts of the case.
