| When supported by substantial evidence, the factual findings of the CA affirming those of the trial court[15] are final and conclusive on this Court and may not be reviewed on appeal,[16] unless petitioner can show compelling or exceptional reasons[17] for this Court to disregard, overturn or modify such findings. | |||||

| Evidently, the defendants-appellants acquired the property from the owner, the San Fernando Rural Bank, by purchase, and there being no evidence to prove that the defendants-appellants purchased the subject property previously owned by their predecessors as representatives of the latter's surviving heirs, the plaintiffs-appellees cannot claim any right thereto. There is no co-ownership in the instant case between the plaintiffs-appellees and the (sic) defendant-appellant Ligaya Dela Peña, pertaining to the subject property. The defendants-appellants could therefore not be legally compelled to partition the subject property, which they bought with their own resources and for their exclusive use and enjoyment.[36] (emphasis supplied) It is a well-settled rule that findings of fact of the Court of Appeals are conclusive upon this Court and are generally not subject to review.[37] In this proceeding, we find no cogent reason to disturb the foregoing factual finding of the Court of Appeals. | |||||
