| This Court is not unaware of the doctrine of immutability of judgments. When a judgment becomes final and executory, it is made immutable and unalterable, meaning it can no longer be modified in any respect either by the court which rendered it or even by this Court. Its purpose is to avoid delay in the orderly administration of justice and to put an end to judicial controversies. Even at the risk of occasional errors, public policy and sound practice dictate that judgments must become final at some point.[31] | |||||

| These rulings were reiterated in the cases of Abellana vs. Dosdos,[16] The City of Cebu vs. Mendoza[17] and PCI Leasing and Finance, Inc. v Antonio Milan.[18] In these cases, there were compelling circumstances which clearly warranted the exercise of the Court's equity jurisdiction. | |||||
