| It is well-settled that once a judgment attains finality, it thereby becomes immutable and unalterable.[43] Such 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.[44] | |||||

| First, the garnishment of the amount of P593,400.00 against Spouses Rabaja was pursuant to the CA decision in CA-G.R. SP No. 89259, an entirely different case involving an action for ejectment, and it does not concern the rescission case which is on appeal before this Court. Moreover, the decision on the ejectment case is final and executory and an entry of judgment has already been made.[41] Nothing is more settled in law than that when a final judgment is executory, it thereby becomes 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 which rendered it or by the highest Court of the land. The doctrine is founded on consideration of public policy and sound practice that, at the risk of occasional errors, judgments must become final at some definite point in time.[42] | |||||
