SANDOVAL-GUTIERREZ, J.
In this jurisdiction, the defense of prescription cannot be raised for the first time on appeal.[42] Such defense may be waived, and if it was not raised as a defense in the trial court, it cannot be considered on appeal, the general rule being that the Appellate Court is not authorized to consider and resolve any question not properly raised in the lower court.[43] Besides, the facts on record do not indicate that respondents' action has prescribed.
