	GR No. 150206 2009-03-13	HEIRS OF TEOFILO GABATAN v. CA LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.
In general, only questions of law may be raised in a petition for review on certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court. Questions of fact cannot be the subject of this particular mode of appeal, for this Court is not a trier of facts.[8] It is not our function to examine and evaluate the probative value of the evidence presented before the concerned tribunal upon which its impugned decision or resolution is based.[9]
	GR NO. 149266 2006-03-17	BENJAMIN v. CARMITA LEGARDA SANDOVAL-GUTIERREZ, J.
In Junson v. Martinez,[10] we ruled that non-compliance with the condition precedent under Presidential Decree No. 1508 does not prevent a court of competent jurisdiction from exercising its power of adjudication over a case where the defendants fail to object to such exercise of jurisdiction. But such objection should be seasonably made before the court first taking cognizance of the complaint,[11] and must be raised in the Answer, or in such other pleading allowed under the Rules of Court.[12]
