This case has been cited 4 times or more.

	GR No. 185829 2012-04-25	ARMANDO ALILING v. JOSE B. FELICIANO VELASCO JR., J.
Settled is the rule that the findings of the Labor Arbiter, when affirmed by the NLRC and the Court of Appeals, are binding on the Supreme Court, unless patently erroneous. It is not the function of the Supreme Court to analyze or weigh all over again the evidence already considered in the proceedings below. The jurisdiction of this Court in a petition for review on certiorari is limited to reviewing only errors of law, not of fact, unless the factual findings being assailed are not supported by evidence on record or the impugned judgment is based on a misapprehension of facts.[32]
	GR No. 156225 2008-01-29	LETRAN CALAMBA FACULTY AND EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION v. NLRC AND COLEGIO DE SAN JUAN DE LETRAN CALAMBA AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
Settled is the rule that the findings of the LA, when affirmed by the NLRC and the CA, are binding on the Supreme Court, unless patently erroneous.[16] It is not the function of the Supreme Court to analyze or weigh all over again the evidence already considered in the proceedings below.[17] In a petition for review on certiorari, this Court's jurisdiction is limited to reviewing errors of law in the absence of any showing that the factual findings complained of are devoid of support in the records or are glaringly erroneous.[18] Firm is the doctrine that this Court is not a trier of facts, and this applies with greater force in labor cases.[19] Findings of fact of administrative agencies and quasi-judicial bodies, which have acquired expertise because their jurisdiction is confined to specific matters, are generally accorded not only great respect but even finality.[20] They are binding upon this Court unless there is a showing of grave abuse of discretion or where it is clearly shown that they were arrived at arbitrarily or in utter disregard of the evidence on record.[21] We find none of these exceptions in the present case.
	GR NO. 157202 2007-03-28	PHILIPPINE LONG DISTANCE v. NLRC AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
The jurisdiction of this Court in a petition for review on certiorari is limited to reviewing only errors of law, not of fact, unless the factual findings being assailed are not supported by evidence on record or the impugned judgment is based on a misapprehension of facts.[18] We find that those exceptions are present in the instant case.
	GR NO. 157028 2006-01-31	METROPOLITAN BANK v. LUIS B. BARRIENTOS TINGA, J.
The petition seeks a reversal of the findings of facts of the forums below and raises issues the resolution of which involves a review of the evidence presented by both parties. The Court has repeatedly ruled that the findings of the Labor Arbiter, when affirmed by the NLRC and the Court of Appeals, are binding on the Supreme Court, unless patently erroneous. It is not the function of this Court to analyze or weigh all over again the evidence already considered in the proceedings below.[12] The jurisdiction of this Court in a petition for review on certiorari is limited to reviewing only errors of law, not of fact, unless the factual findings being assailed are not supported by the evidence on record or the impugned judgment is based on a misapprehension of facts.[13] Both exceptions are not present in the case at bar.
