| In addition, the remedy of a petition for relief from judgment is not among those provided under the Uniform Rules on Administrative Cases in the Civil Service. This means that the remedy is not allowed under civil service rules.[100] Even assuming that a petition for relief may be filed before the Civil Service Commission, the party must show that the assailed judgment became final through fraud, accident, mistake, or excusable negligence.[101] | |||||

| Settled is the rule that a judgment that has become final and executory is immutable and unalterable; the judgment may no longer be modified in any respect, even if the modification is meant to correct what is perceived to be an erroneous conclusion of fact or law, and regardless of whether the modification is attempted to be made by the court rendering it or by the highest court of the land.[10] While there are recognized exceptions - e.g., the correction of clerical errors, the so-called nunc pro tunc entries which cause no prejudice to any party, void judgments, and whenever circumstances transpire after the finality of the decision rendering its execution unjust and inequitable - none of these exceptions apply to the present case.[11] | |||||
