ADMISSIBILITY OF EVIDENCE AND THE PROBATIVE WEIGHT OF EVIDENCE:

     Admissibility of evidence refers to the question of whether or not the circumstance (or evidence) is to be considered at all. On the other hand, the probative value of evidence refers to the question of whether or not it proves an issue. (RICO ROMMEL ATIENZA vs. BOARD OF MEDICINE and EDITHA SIOSON, G.R. No. 177407, February 9, 2011, NACHURA, J.).
