PREPONDERANCE OF
EVIDENCE: It is a basic rule in evidence that each party to a
case must prove his own affirmative allegations by the degree of evidence
required by law. In civil cases, the party having the burden of proof must
establish his case by preponderance of evidence, or that evidence that is of
greater weight or is more convincing than that which is in opposition to it. It
does not mean absolute truth; rather, it means that the testimony of one side
is more believable than that of the other side, and that the probability of
truth is on one side than on the other (REYES
