SPECIAL SECOND DIVISION
[G.R. No. 202914. January 30, 2013.]
GOVERNMENT SERVICE INSURANCE SYSTEM, REPRESENTED BY ROBERT G. VERGARA, petitioner, vs. HEIDI R. CHUA, respondent.
NOTICE
Sirs/Mesdames :
Please take notice that the Court, Second Division, issued a Resolution dated 30 January 2013 which reads as follows:
G.R. No. 202914 (GOVERNMENT SERVICE INSURANCE SYSTEM, represented by ROBERT G. VERGARA v. HEIDI R. CHUA). — Before us is the Motion for Reconsideration filed by petitioner Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) of the Court's Resolution dated September 26, 2012. We upheld the Court of Appeals' ruling finding respondent Heidi R. Chua guilty of simple misconduct, conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service and violation of reasonable office rules.
The GSIS moves to reconsider our Resolution, arguing that Chua's act — making unlawful alterations in the salary updates of two (2) GSIS applicants — constitutes grave misconduct, punishable with dismissal from the service. The GSIS asserts that there was substantial evidence to support the findings of the GSIS and of the Civil Service Commission showing Chua's vital role in the fraudulent and corrupt scheme to defraud the GSIS.
We deny the motion in the absence of any new matter raised to support the reconsideration prayed for. The GSIS' arguments are mere reiterations of the earlier arguments we have duly considered and passed upon in arriving at the Resolution that the GSIS now assails.
ACCORDINGLY, premises considered, we DENY with FINALITY the Motion for Reconsideration for lack of merit.
SO ORDERED. AaSTIH
Very truly yours,
(SGD.) MA. LOURDES C. PERFECTODivision Clerk of Court
