ABAD, J.
Also, the Court, in Col. Francisco dela Merced v. GSIS,[59] reiterated the principle that a final judgment against a party is binding on his privies and successors-in-interest. It went on further saying that: In Cabresos v. Judge Tiro,[60] the Court upheld the respondent judge's issuance of an alias writ of execution against the successors-in-interest of the losing litigant despite the fact that these successors-in-interest were not mentioned in the judgment and were never parties to the case. The Court explained that an action is binding on the privies of the litigants even if such privies are not literally parties to the action. Their inclusion in the writ of execution does not vary or exceed the terms of the judgment.
