| Time and time again, this Court has declared that when the issue is one of credibility of the witnesses and their testimonies, the findings of a trial court will generally not be disturbed,[29] unless it has plainly overlooked certain facts or circumstances of substance and value which, if considered, might well affect the result of the case.[30] This doctrine is premised on the undisputed fact that the trial court had the best opportunity to observe the demeanor of the witnesses while they were on the stand; thus, it was in the best position to discern whether they were telling the truth.[31] Appellants have not given the Court sufficient reason to deviate from this doctrine. | |||||
