The distinction between questions of law and
questions of fact is settled. A question
of law exists when the doubt or difference centers on what the law is on a
certain state of facts. A question
of fact exists if the doubt centers on the truth or falsity of the alleged
facts. Though this delineation seems simple, determining the true nature
and extent of the distinction is sometimes problematic. For example, it is
incorrect to presume that all cases where the facts are not in
dispute automatically involve purely questions of law. [Microsoft Corporation
v. Maxicorp, Inc., G.R. No. 140946, September 13, 2004] (CENTURY SAVINGS BANK VS. SPOUSES SAMONTE [2010]).
