In civil cases, the party having the burden of
proof must establish his case by a preponderance of evidence. Preponderance of evidence is the
weight, credit, and value of the aggregate evidence on either side and is
usually considered to be synonymous with the term "greater weight of the
evidence" or "greater weight of the credible evidence."
Preponderance of evidence is a phrase which, in the last analysis, means
probability of the truth. It is evidence which is more convincing to the court
as worthier of belief than that which is offered in opposition thereto. (Maria
Lourdes Tamani et al. vs. Roman Salvador
And Filomena Bravo, G.R. No. 171497, April 4, 2011, Peralta, J.).
