A study of the evidence viz a viz (sic) the arguments supporting the
errors imputed to the trial court in its decision appealed from
convinces Us that the trial court did not err in holding the plaintiffappellant as plainly has no cause of action against defendants and
defendant-intervenor as it found that Norberto Concepcion was not
the duly authorized agent or representative of the Intercontinental
Film Distributors (PI) Corporation and Roberto Suarez, the
Managing Director, (who) denied having authorized Norberto

unwarranted.
It is a settled rule that in order for damages to be
recovered, the best evidence
obtainable by the injured
9
party must be presented. Actual or compensatory damages
cannot be presumed, but must be duly proved, and proved
with a reasonable degree of certainty. A court cannot rely
on speculation, conjecture or guesswork as to the fact and
amount of damages, but must depend upon competent
proof that they have been suffered and on evidence of the
actual amount thereof. If the proof is
flimsy and
10
unsubstantial, no damages will be awarded.
WHEREFORE, the appealed decision is hereby
AFFIRMED with the modification that the award of
damages in the amount of P10,000.00 a day for alleged
unrealized profits is eliminated. Costs against petitioner.
SO ORDERED.
Melencio-Herrera (Chairman), Paras, Sarmiento
and Regalado, JJ., concur.
Decision affirmed with modification.
Note.Award of considerable damages should have
clear, factual and legal basis. (Dela Paz, Jr. vs. Intermediate
Appellate Court, 154 SCRA 65.)
