LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J. |

| The doctrine of finality of judgments accepts of exceptions only under certain circumstances, as we have held in Spouses Gomez v. Correa, et al., [59] : It is settled that when a final judgment is executory, it becomes immutable and unalterable. The judgment may no longer be modified in any respect, even if the modification is meant to correct what is perceived to be an erroneous conclusion of fact or law, and regardless of whether the modification is attempted to be made by the court rendering it or by the highest Court of the land. The doctrine is founded on considerations of public policy and sound practice that, at the risk of occasional errors, judgments must become final at some definite point in time. | |||||
