PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE:

   The term prima facie evidence denotes evidence which, if unexplained or uncontradicted, is sufficient to sustain the proposition it supports or to establish the facts. Prima facie means it is “sufficient to establish a fact or raise a presumption unless disproved or rebutted.” (Republic of the Philippines, vs. Sandiganbayan Eduardo   M. Cojuangco, Jr., et al., April 12, 2011, G.R. No. 166859, Carpio Morales, J.).
