VELASCO JR., J.
All told, we hold that the findings of both the RTC and the CA must be affirmed.  The trial court's determination as to the credibility of witnesses and its findings of fact should be accorded great weight and respect more so when affirmed by the appellate court.  To reiterate, a look at the records shows no facts of substance and value that have been overlooked, which, if considered, might affect the outcome of the instant appeal.  Deference to the trial court's findings must be made as it was in the position to easily detect whether a witness is telling the truth or not.
