This case has been cited 4 times or more.

	GR No. 190983 2015-07-29	SURENDRA GOBINDRAM DASWANI v. BANCO DE ORO UNIVERSAL BANK BRION, J.
In Far Eastern Surety and Insurance v. People,[16] we explained that a question of law arises when there is doubt as to what the law is on a certain state of facts. Its resolution does not involve an examination of the probative value of the evidence presented by the litigants, and relies solely on what the law provides on a given set of facts. If the facts are disputed or if the issues require an examination of the evidence, the question posed is one of fact. The test is not the appellation given to a question by the party raising it, but whether the appellate court could resolve the issue without examining or evaluating the evidence.[17]
