TOYOTA PASONG TAMO, INC., petitioner,vs. FERDINAND T. CAPITLE, respondent.
NOTICE
Sirs/Mesdames :
Please take notice that the Court, First Division, issued a Resolution datedJanuary 7, 2019which reads as follows:
"G.R. No. 242054 (Toyota Pasong Tamo, Inc. v. Ferdinand T. Capitle). — 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 April 19, 2018 and Resolution dated September 5, 2018.
We note that the Labor Arbiter, National Labor Relations Commission NLRC, and CA unanimously found that respondent is petitioner's employee and that he was illegally dismissed. 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 Labor Arbiter. 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 Decision of the Court of Appeals dated April 19, 2018 and Resolution dated September 5, 2018 are AFFIRMED with MODIFICATION. Consistent with prevailing jurisprudence, the monetary award shall earn 6% legal interest per annum from finality of this resolution until fully paid. 2
SO ORDERED." Bersamin, C.J., on official business; Del Castillo, J., designated as Acting Chairperson per Special Order No. 2632 dated December 28, 2018.
Very truly yours,
(SGD.) LIBRADA C. BUENADivision Clerk of Court
