[43] “The resolution of the court in a given issue embodied in the fallo
or dispositive part of a decision or order is the controlling factor as to
settlement of rights of the parties. Thus, where there is a conflict between
the fallo and the ratio decidendi or body of the decision, the fallo controls.
This rule rests on the theory that the fallo is the final order while the
opinion in the body is merely a statement ordering nothing. The rule
applies when the dispositive part of a final decision or order is definite,
clear, and unequivocal, and can wholly be given effect without need of
interpretation or construction.” (Obra v. Spouses Badua, 556 Phil. 456,
461; 529 SCRA 621, 629 [2007]; citations omitted)
