JUSTICE PERALTA:

     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 VS. CENTURY CANNING CORP. [2010], PERALTA, J.).
