	GR No. 138295 2003-08-28	PILIPINO TELEPHONE CORPORATION v. NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION CARPIO, J.
The settled rule is a motion for reconsideration is a prerequisite for the filing of a petition for certiorari.[12] A petitioner must exhaust all other available remedies before resorting to certiorari. An exception to this rule arises if the petitioner raises purely legal issues. However, contrary to PILTEL's view, the issues raised in its petition for certiorari before the Court of Appeals were mainly factual in nature. Since PILTEL disputes NTC's factual findings and seeks a re-evaluation of the facts and evidence on record, the issues PILTEL raised are not proper subjects for certiorari. Evidentiary matters or matters of fact raised in the NTC are not proper grounds in the proceedings for certiorari before the Court of Appeals.[13] The sole office of a writ of certiorari is the correction of errors of jurisdiction and does not include a review of the NTC's evaluation of the evidence and factual findings.[14]
