DECISION
 
LEONEN, J.:
 
In contract interpretation, courts must first determine whether a stipulation is ambiguous or susceptible of multiple interpretations. If no ambiguity is found and the terms of the contract clearly reflect the intentions of the contracting parties, the stipulation will be interpreted as it is written.

This resolves the Verified Petition for Review on Certiorari[1] filed by Cezar Yatco Real Estate Services, Inc. (Cezar Yatco Real Estate Services), GRD Property Resources, Inc. (GRD Property Resources), Gamaliel Pascual, Jr. (Gamaliel), Ma. Lourdes Limjap Pascual (Lourdes), and Aurora Pijuan (Pijuan)...
