the attention of the Court of Appeals need not -- and ordinarily will not -- be considered by this Court.[27] Petitioners allegation cannot be accepted by this Court on its face; to do so would be tantamount to a denial of respondents right to due process. [28] Furthermore, whether respondents were able to appeal on time is a question of fact that cannot be entertained in a petition for review under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court. In general, the jurisdiction of this Court in cases brought before it from the Court of Appeals is limited to a review of errors of law allegedly committed by the court a quo.[29] WHEREFORE, the Petition is hereby DENIED, and the assailed Decision and Resolution AFFIRMED.
