PHILIPPINE VETERANS BANK v. SANTIAGO G. ESTRELLA

This case has been cited 5 times or more.

	GR Nos. 177105-06 2010-08-12	JOSE REYES Y VACIO v. PEOPLE BERSAMIN, J.
Due to its finality, the decision in AC-G.R. CV No. 02883 became immutable, and could no longer be modified in any respect, whether the modification was to correct erroneous conclusions of fact or law, whether made by the court that rendered it or by the highest court of the land.[34] The reason for such immutability is that a litigation must end sometime, and an effective and efficient administration of justice requires that the winning party be not deprived of the fruits of the verdict once a judgment becomes final.[35]

Unfortunately for petitioner, we saw through its feigning. When we dismissed G.R. No. 138993, we did not heed petitioner's rigmarole. We will do the same in this case. Hence, we exclude the time during which respondent's motion for clarification was filed, as well as the filing and eventual resolution of G.R. No. 133893. The motion for clarification was filed on March 31, 1999.[30] It was finally decided in G.R. No. 138993 on June 27, 2003,[31] after four years, two months and 27 days. Therefore, this period must be excluded from the running of the prescriptive period for execution. All told, respondent's right has not prescribed.

[15] Philippine Veterans Bank v. Estrella, 453 Phil. 45, 51 (2003).
	GR NO. 164914 2005-10-05	NATALIA REALTY v. MAURICIO M. RIVERA CORONA, J.
Settled is the rule that after a judgment becomes final, no additions can be made thereto and nothing can be done therewith except its execution.[21] Once a judgment becomes final and executory, it can no longer be disturbed no matter how erroneous it may be.[22] In any case, no error was committed in this case. The CA acted correctly in affirming the order of the court a quo to issue an alias writ of execution so that the final orders of the courts could be finally implemented and justice done to the deserving party. It is almost trite to say that execution is the fruit and end of the suit and is the life of the law.[23] When a final judgment becomes executory, it thereby becomes immutable and unalterable.[24]
	GR No. 128967 2004-05-20	PAULINO SACDALAN v. CA AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
As petitioners themselves espouse, well settled is the principle that a decision that has acquired finality becomes immutable and unalterable and may no longer be modified in any respect even if the modification is meant to correct erroneous conclusions of fact or law and whether it will be made by the court that rendered it or by the highest court of the land.[39]
