    This document summarizes a Supreme Court case between Guagua National Colleges and two labor unions. Guagua National Colleges filed a petition for certiorari challenging a Court of Appeals resolution that denied its motion to dismiss the labor unions' petition for certiorari. The main issue is whether the Court of Appeals is acting without or in excess of its jurisdiction in reviewing the case. The Supreme Court ruled that a petition for review of a voluntary arbitrator's decision must be filed within 15 days pursuant to the Rules of Court, not the 10-day period mentioned in the Labor Code for motions for reconsideration. Therefore, the Court of Appeals has jurisdiction to review the case and did not gravely abuse its discretion in denying the motion

    GUAGUA NATIONAL COLLEGES v.

     COURT OF APPEALS, GNC FACULTY AND LABOR UNION AND


    GNC NON-TEACHING MAINTENANCE LABOR UNION

    G.R. No. 188492

    FACTS:
    Petitioner Guagua National Colleges (GNC) hereby assails by petition for certiorari the resolution
    promulgated on December 15, 2008, 2 whereby the Court of Appeals (CA) denied its Motion to
    Dismiss filed vis-à-vis the respondents' petition for certiorari in the following manner:

    This Court resolves:

    1. x x x

    2. To Deny:

    a) respondent's Motion to Dismiss dated 22 July 2008. While it is true that Coca-Cola


    Bottlers Philippines, Inc., Sales Force Union-PTGWO-Balais vs. Coca-Cola Bottlers Philippines,
    Inc. held in part:

    "x x x [U]nder Section 6, Rule VII of the same guidelines implementing Article 262-A of
    the Labor Code, this Decision, as a matter of course, would become final and executory after ten
    (10) calendar days from receipt of copies of the decision by the parties x xx unless, in the
    meantime, a motion for reconsideration or a petition for review to the Court of Appeals under
    Rule 43 of the Rules of Court is filed within the same 10-day period. x xx;",

    ISSUE:
    WHETHER THE COURT OF APPEALS, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, IS ACTING WITHOUT OR IN EXCESS
    OF ITS JURISDICTION IN CA-G.R. SP NO. 104109.

    RULING:
    The petition for review shall be filed within 15 days pursuant to Section 4, Rules 43 of the Rules of Court;
    the 10-day period under Article 276 of the Labor Code refers to the filing of a motion for reconsideration vis-à-vis
    the Voluntary Arbitrator's decision or award. In resolving whether or not the CA committed grave abuse of
    discretion, the Court has first to determine which between the two periods found in Article 276 of the Labor
    Code and Section 4 of Rule 43 of the Rules of Court governs the appeal from the decision or award by the Voluntary
    Arbitrator or Panel of Arbitrators. The petitioner posits that the appeal from the decision or award of the Voluntary
    Arbitrator should be filed within 10 days in view of Article 276 of the Labor Code.

    Accordingly, the decisions and awards of Voluntary Arbitrators, albeit immediately final and
    executory, remained subject to judicial review in appropriate cases through petitions for certiorari. In other
    words, the remedy of appeal by petition for review under Rule 43 of the  Rules of Court became available to
    the parties aggrieved by the decisions or awards of the Voluntary Arbitrators or Panels of Arbitrators.
