| From the express language of Rule 41, therefore, the MTC's denial of petitioners' Motion to Set Aside Decision could not have been appealed. Indeed, a decision based on a compromise agreement is immediately final and executory and cannot be the subject of appeal,[32] for when parties enter into a compromise agreement and request a court to render a decision on the basis of their agreement, it is presumed that such action constitutes a waiver of the right to appeal said decision.[33] While there may have been other remedies available to assail the decision,[34] petitioners were well within their rights to institute a special civil action under Rule 65. | |||||
