MENDOZA, J. |

| It is a hornbook doctrine that, save for certain exceptions,[42] the findings of fact of administrative agencies and quasi-judicial bodies like the CIAC, which have acquired expertise because their jurisdiction is confined to specific matters, are generally accorded not only respect, but finality when affirmed by the CA.[43] It is well-settled that "the consequent policy and practice underlying our Administrative Law is that courts of justice should respect the findings of fact of said administrative agencies, unless there is absolutely no evidence in support thereof or such evidence is clearly, manifestly and patently insubstantial."[44] Moreover, in petitions for review on certiorari, only questions of law may be put into issue. | |||||
