| Philamlife's allegation that Eternal's witnesses ran out of credibility and reliability due to inconsistencies is groundless. The trial court is in the best position to determine the reliability and credibility of the witnesses, because it has the opportunity to observe firsthand the witnesses' demeanor, conduct, and attitude. Findings of the trial court on such matters are binding and conclusive on the appellate court, unless some facts or circumstances of weight and substance have been overlooked, misapprehended, or misinterpreted,[14] that, if considered, might affect the result of the case.[15] | |||||

| Time and again this Court has ruled that the credibility of witnesses is a matter best left to the determination of the trial court because of its unique opportunity to observe the witnesses firsthand and to note their demeanor, conduct and attitude.[50] Thus, unless there is a strong and valid reason for overturning the factual assessment by the trial court, this Court will not disturb its findings.[51] | |||||
