| Under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court, only questions of law may be raised under a petition for review on certiorari. The Court, not being a trier of facts, is not wont to reexamine and reevaluate the evidence of the parties, whether testimonial or documentary. Moreover, the findings of facts of the Court of Appeals on appeal from the NLRC are, more often than not, given conclusive effect by the Court. The Court may delve into and resolve factual issues only in exceptional circumstances, as when the Court of Appeals has reached an erroneous conclusion based on arbitrary findings of fact; and when substantial justice so requires.[12] In the present case, the Court of Appeals overlooked the applicable laws and jurisprudence when it reached its conclusion. | |||||
