D E C I S I O N

YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.:

This is a Petition for Review on Certiorari assailing the Decision of the Court of Appeals[1] in CA-G.R. SP No. 29845, dated December 15, 1993, which dismissed the petition filed by herein petitioners, seeking to annul the October 19, 1989 Decision,[2] of the Regional Trial Court of Tabaco, Albay, Branch 18,[3] in Civil Case No. T-417.

The resolution of the instant controversy hinges on whether or not extrinsic fraud vitiated the decision of the court a quo in Civil Case No. T-417, thus warranting annulment thereof.

On December 20, 1977, Julian Britanico, private respondents'...
