NOTICE
Sirs/Mesdames :
Please take notice that the Court, First Division, issued a Resolution datedAugust 8, 2018which reads as follows: HTcADC
"G.R. No. 239356 (Allan Shane Magbanua Gay v. New Century Overseas Management, Inc. and Makoto Kondo). — The motion for extension of time to file the petition for review on certiorari is GRANTED.
After review, we resolve to DENY the petition for failure to sufficiently show that the Court of Appeals (CA) committed any reversible error in its Decision dated September 29, 2017 and Resolution dated April 24, 2018.
We note that the Labor Arbiter (LA), National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC), and CA unanimously found that there was no illegal dismissal and that New Century Overseas Management, Inc. (NCOMI) was in good faith when it closed its training department and dismissed petitioner from his employment. Factual findings of quasi-judicial bodies like the NLRC, if supported by substantial evidence, are accorded respect and even finality by this Court, more so when they coincide with those of the LA. Such factual findings are given more weight when the same are affirmed by the CA. 1 We find no reason to depart from this rule.
WHEREFORE, the Court of Appeals' Decision dated September 29, 2017 and Resolution dated April 24, 2018 in CA-G.R. SP No. 144060 are AFFIRMED. aScITE
SO ORDERED."Leonardo-De Castro, J., designated as Acting Chairperson of the First Division per Special Order No. 2559 dated May 11, 2018; Gesmundo, J., designated as Acting Member of the First Division per Special Order No. 2560 dated May 11, 2018.
Very truly yours,
