QUISUMBING, J.
In a petition for review on certiorari as a mode of appeal under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court, the petitioner can raise only questions of law because the Supreme Court is not the proper venue to consider a factual issue as it is not a trier of facts.[8] Findings of fact of administrative bodies charged with their specific field of expertise are afforded great weight by the courts, and in the absence of substantial showing that such findings are made from an erroneous evaluation of the evidence presented, they are conclusive, and in the interest of stability of the governmental structure, should not be disturbed.[9]

The rule on forum shopping explicitly prohibits a party against whom an adverse judgment has been rendered in one forum from seeking another forum in the hope of obtaining a favorable disposition in the latter.  Forum shopping is not only contumacious but also deplorable because it adds to the congestion of the heavily burdened dockets of the courts.[16]

Ordinarily, as held by the Court, even if a party admits in the certification of non-forum shopping the existence of other related cases pending before another body, this fact alone does not exculpate such party who is obviously and deliberately seeking a more friendly forum for his case.[9]

Meycauayan's act of filing a Complaint for Reconveyance, Quieting of Title and Damages raising the same issues in its Petition for Intervention, which this Court had already denied, also constitutes forum shopping.  Forum shopping is the act of a party against whom an adverse judgment has been rendered in one forum, seeking another and possibly favorable opinion in another forum other than by appeal or special civil action of certiorari.  There is also forum shopping when a party institutes two or more actions based on the same cause on the expectation that one or the other court might look with favor on the party.[26]
