vs. COURT OF APPEALS and CARLOS M. FARRALES, respondents.
PANGANIBAN, J.:
When there is a conflict between the dispositive portion or fallo of a
decision and the opinion of the court contained in the text or body of the judgment, the former prevails over the latter. An order of execution is based on the disposition, not on the body, of the decision.
