Indeed, a decision issued by a court becomes final and executory when such decision disposes of the subject matter in its entirety or terminates a particular proceeding or action, leaving nothing else to be done but to enforce by execution what has been determined by the court, such as when after the lapse of the reglementary period to appeal, no appeal has been perfected.[19] However, in this case, considering that the petition was filed within the reglementary period to file a petition for certiorari, the decision had not attained finality yet.

Prefatorily, we restate the time honored principle that in a petition for review on certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court, only questions of law may be raised. Thus, in a petition for review on certiorari, the scope of the Supreme Court's judicial review is limited to reviewing only errors of law, not of fact.[84] It is not our function to weigh all over again evidence already considered in the proceedings below, our jurisdiction is limited to reviewing only errors of law that may have been committed by the lower court.[85]
