, MOST RESPECTFULLY STATES THAT; COMES NOW, the

plaintiff together with the undersigned counsel to this most honorable
court

1.      The Plaintiff is of legal age, married and a resident of

_______________________. The Defendant is likewise of legal age, married
and temporary residing at _____________________
2.      The Plaintiff is the owner of the two-storey house unit located at the
Petersville Subdivision, Baguio City, and having the residential address of PV
123 as evidenced by pertinent documents like tax declaration and deed of sale.
( EXHIBIT “A” )
3.      The Defendant is the lessee of the house unit that is owned by the Plaintiff
as evidenced by the written contract of lease that both parties signed. (Exhibit
“B”)
4.      The Plaintiff and the Defendant came up with a written agreement of Lease
on June 26, 2007, which they both agreed upon and was duly signed by the
two parties as shown in their contract of lease. (Exhibit “B”)
5.      Item No. 16 of the contract which the defendant signed expressly provides
that he will only be occupying the property for one (1) year, after which, he
will vacate the house when that term expires. (Exhibit “B”)
6.      The contract also provides that the defendant should also take care of the
property and its premises” with the utmost diligence”.
7.      On June 28, 2008, the plaintiff, after returning from Japan, was surprised to
discover that the defendant did not vacate the property as he expected. Worse,
he installed a “sari-sari store” in the original building structure of the house
unit.
8.      The plaintiff confronted the defendant about it but the defendant claimed
that it  was a “DEED OF SALE” which they signed and not a “CONTRACT
OF LEASE” and therefore, the defendant is the new owner of the house unit.
9.      On August 20, 2008, after continuous demands, the defendant constantly
refuses to vacate the house unit and even invited relatives to stay with him.
10.  The defendant willfully and maliciously violated the agreement which they
mutually agreed upon, and which the defendant signed.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is most respectfully prayed of this

Honorable Court that judgement be rendered in favor of the plaintiff and that
after judgement;

10
 LEGAL FORMS

a.       The defendant shall vacate the house unit owned by the plaintiff.
b.      The defendant shall be ordered to pay P 120, 000 for the Attorney’s Fees.

            Such other reliefs and remedies under the premises are likewise
prayed for.

MOTION TO CANCEL LIS PENDENS

Plaintiff, by counsel and to this Honorable Court, respectfully states:

1. Defendant caused the annotation or registration of a notice of lis

pendens on the subject matter of the instant suit,

2. 2. Defendant caused the recording of the lis pendens for the purpose
of molesting plaintiff, and the recordal thereof is not necessary to protect his
rights to the property, his right thereto, if any, is only indirect and contingent.

3. The recordal of the lis pendens is prejudicial to plaintiff’s interest to

the property because, being the owner of said property, it is burden and it
restricts its transferability by sale, as no one will buy it during the pendency of
the case and for as long as the lis pendens is not canceled.

MOTION TO EXERCISE VISITATION RIGHTS OF PETITIONER

Petitioner, by counsel, to this Honorable Court respectfully states:

Since separation de facto of herein parties, petitioner has not seen nor meet

since he decided to pack his things and leave the conjugal abode in December

impossible on the part of the petitioner due to herein parties’ personal
animosity.

Since the separation de facto of herein parties, petitioner has continued to

support to his daughter by depositing the money in the account of the
respondent.

178
 LEGAL FORMS

Petitioner wishes to exercise his visitation rights over his daughter.

Henceforth, petitioner proposed to pick up her daughter every other Saturday
every month in the mall or residence of the respondent or any other place
designated or agreed upon by herein parties to be returned on the same day or
the next day as agreed upon by both parties.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that after due notice and hearing, an

order by this Honorable Court enforcing the visitation right over his daughter
be issued in favor of the petitioner.

MOTION TO INHIBIT

Complainant, by counsel, to the Honorable Court, alleges that:

The instant complaint was filed sometime in 06 May 2011. However, up to

this time, no resolution has yet been issued by the honorable office;

This has been the case despite several follow-ups made by the complainant
and it is very apparent that there is an unreasonable delay in rendering the
resolution to the extreme prejudice of the complainants;

In view of the foregoing, to avoid the appearance of bias and impropriety, it is

most respectfully prayed of the Honorable Office that the honorable
investigating prosecutor inhibit himself from resolving this criminal
complaint.

Other reliefs just and equitable are likewise prayed for.

MOTION TO RELEASE MOTOR VEHICLE

Accused, by counsel, to this Honorable Court respectfully states:

That in the hearing for the Petition for Bail held last 12 December 2013, it
was admitted by PO1 Engelbert Villafranca, one of the arresting officers, that
a motor vehicle with body number LBI-XX3499tt and bearing plate number
DUO 789 belonging to the accused is in police custody.

Accused maintained that the impounded motor vehicle was not used in the
commission of the offense, nor was it included in the inventory of confiscated
items from the accused as admitted by the prosecution witness PO2
Villafranca during the 12 December hearing.

With all due respect, it is illogical to confiscate, much more retain custody,
over the said vehicle, when the same was not even included in the inventory
of property confiscated from the accused.

Truth to tell, the said motor vehicle was being used by the accused to earn a
living and that it was never intended to be used for any illegal purpose;

188
 LEGAL FORMS

The continued impounding of said vehicle has directly or indirectly deprived

the accused of its work-related and personal use and has impaired his capacity
to earn.

In addition, continued impounding of said vehicle needless to state, would

further caused its deterioration beyond repair.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed that an Order be

issued directing PO2 Engelbert Villafranca to turn over the possession of the
said vehicle to the accused or his duly authorized representatives in the
interest of justice.

Other reliefs, which are just and equitable, are also prayed for.

MOTION FOR RE-RAFFLE

AND TO SET CASE FOR ARRAIGNMENT

Private complainant, by Counsel, to this Honorable Court respectfully states:

This is a criminal case for Qualified Theft which was filed on 06 May 2011
before the Office of the City Prosecutor of Cavite.

On 14 August 2011, the Honorable 3rd Assistant City Prosecutor Jack Miof,
finding probable cause, recommended the filing of Qualified Theft against the
accused.

That the case was raffled before the sala of retired Honorable Judge Tori
Black.

On 10 December 2011, the Honorable Court issued an Alias Warrant of

Arrest against Accused Jasper Sol Cruz.

Photocopy of the Alias Warrant of Arrest is hereto as Annex “A” for easy
reference.

194
 LEGAL FORMS

Then on 27 January 2012, accused was arrested by Parañaque Police. He was

detained at Parañaque Police Station 7 and later transferred to Imus Jail. Said
accused posted a bail for his provisional release.

To date, there was no available judge to hear the case thus the undersigned
respectfully requests to re-raffle the same in order to set the case for
arraignment considering that the case was filed more than two years.

Needless to state, the long years of delay in the arraignment of accused has
caused untold suffering and mental anguish on the part of the private
complainant.

To make matters worse, said accused has already gone abroad sometime in
2012 in Bahrain during the pendency of this case.

That based on reliable information, accused Jasper Sol Cruz is again intending
to leave the country for the purpose of absconding and thereby evading
prosecution of this case.

That in order to expedite the trial of this case, the undersigned respectfully
begged the indulgence of this Honorable Court that the instant case be re-
raffled and set for hearing so as not to frustrate the ends of justice.

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that this Honorable Court issue an

order granting that the above-captioned case be re-raffled to another sala in
order to set the case for arraignment.

Other relief and remedies just and equitable under the premises are
prayed for.

COMPLAINT

PLAINTIFF, by counsel, respectfully states that:

1. Plaintiff is a foreign corporation organized and existing under the

laws of France with business address at 111 Ocean Drive, Tuna Compound,
Quezon City; Defendant is a Filipino, of legal age, single and currently
resident of 112 Ocean Drive, Tuna Compound, Quezon City, where he may
be served with summons and other pertinent processes.

2. Plaintiff owns that property located at 112 Ocean Drive, Tuna

Compound, Quezon City which it leased to defendant under the terms and
conditions stated in the Contract of Lease dated 1 January 2005, which
contract expires on 31 December 2006. A copy of the contract is attached as
ANNEX A.

3. Upon expiration of the contract, plaintiff informed defendant of its

intention not to renew the lease as it would use the property for its business

219
 LEGAL FORMS

expansion; plaintiff then asked defendant to vacate the premises. A copy of

plaintiff’s letter to defendant is attached as ANNEX B.

4. Despite demand duly made and received, defendant has refused to

vacate the premises and continues to occupy the property without plaintiff’s
consent. Resort to the Barangay conciliation system proved useless as
defendant refused to appear before the Lupong Tagapamayapa. A
Certification to File Action is attached as ANNEX C.

5. Defendant’s act of dispossession has caused plaintiff to suffer

material injury because plaintiff’s business expansion plans could not be
implemented despite the arrival of machineries specifically leased for this
purpose at the rental rate of US$500 per month. Defendant’s continued
occupation of the premises has also forced plaintiff to sue and to incur legal
expenses amounting to Fifty Thousand Pesos (P50,000.00).

WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays for judgment in its favor

by ordering defendant to vacate the property and peacefully turn over
possession to plaintiff and for defendant to pay plaintiff the amount of
US$3,500 representing rentals on the machineries for seven (7) months and
Fifty Thousand Pesos (P50,000.00) for Attorney’s fees.

Other just and equitable reliefs are also prayed for.

COMPLAINT

PLAINTIFF, by counsel, respectfully states that:

[2] 1. Plaintiff is a Filipino, of legal age, and resident of 6750 Forbes

Park, Makati City; defendant is also a Filipino, of legal age and resident of
6752, Forbes Park, Makati City, where he may be served with summons and
other processes.

[3] 2. Sometime in January 2005 and over a period of six (6)

months, defendant borrowed certain amounts from plaintiff. Defendant
promised to pay these amounts on an installment basis monthly. These
amounts now total Nine Hundred Thousand Pesos (P900,000.00).

[4] 3. Despite repeated demands, both oral and written, defendant

failed or has refused to pay any amount to plaintiff as no installment payment
has even been made. A copy each of plaintiff’s two (2) demand letters is
attached as ANNEX A and B.

4. Resort to the Barangay Conciliation process proved fruitless as

defendant failed to appear, despite notice on him to appear. Thus, a
Certification to File Action, a copy of which is attached as ANNEX C, was
issued by the Barangay Chairman.

5. Defendant’s obligation is due and demandable and plaintiff is

entitled to the payment of the entire amount of Nine Hundred Thousand Pesos
(P900,000.00) plus legal interest.

221

6. By reason of defendant’s unreasonable failure or refusal to pay his

due and demandable obligation, plaintiff was forced to engage the services of
counsel to vindicate his rights thereby committing himself to pay legal
expenses amounting to Fifty Thousand Pesos (P50,000.00).

WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays for judgment in his favor

through a Decision directing defendant to pay him NINE HUNDRED
THOUSAND PESOS (P900,000.00), with legal interest, as ACTUAL
DAMAGES and FIFTY THOUSAND PESOS (P50,000.00) as Attorney’s

5. Defendant reiterates, repleads and incorporates by reference all the

foregoing insofar as they are material and additionally submit that the
Complaint should be dismissed because:

5.1. Plaintiff has no capacity to sue as it is a foreign

corporation doing business in the Philippines without a

to defendant the parcel of land in question, a copy of which is
attached as ANNEX 1.

Counterclaim

6. Defendant reiterates, repleads and incorporates by reference all

the foregoing insofar as they are material and additionally submit that he is
entitled to relief arising from the filing of this malicious and baseless suit, as
follows:

6.1. Moral Damages amounting to One Million

were besmirched by this malicious and baseless suit.

Thousand Pesos (P100,000.00) because he was compelled to
secure services of counsel to vindicate his legal rights.

WHEREFORE, Defendant respectfully prays that judgment be

rendered in his favor by dismissing the Complaint and granting defendant’s
counterclaim by awarding defendant: (a) One Million Pesos as Moral
Damages, and (b) Fifty Thousand as Attorney’s Fees.

Other just and equitable reliefs are prayed for.

_______________, respectively, where they may be served with pertinent
notices.

2. On 1 June 2007, plaintiff found a Gold Rolex Oyster watch,

without knowing who its true owner is. The watch is now in plaintiff’s
possession. On or about 5 June 1999, defendants made similar
representations to plaintiff as to ownership of the watch.

3. Plaintiff, who claims no interest in the watch, cannot determine the

conflicting claims of defendants and thus seeks to compel defendants to
interplead and litigate their several claims between themselves.

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that this Honorable Court

issue an order directing defendants to interplead with one another to
determine their respective rights and claims and to allow plaintiff to recover
his expenses for safekeeping and the costs of this suit, as first lien upon the
subject matter of this action.

COMPLAINT

PLAINTIFF, by counsel, respectfully states that:

231
 LEGAL FORMS

1. Plaintiff is a Filipino citizen of legal age and resident of Quezon

City; defendant is the City Council of Quezon City, the duly-constituted
legislative body for Quezon City, its members may be served with notices at
Quezon City Hall.

2. On 1 August 1999, defendant City Council passed Ordinance No.

2345 making it unlawful to operate cellular phone units while inside a moving
vehicle and penalizing any violations with a fine of P1,000.00 for each
offense in addition to impounding of the cellular phone unit. The relevant
portions of the Ordinance are, as follows:

(Quote the relevant portions)

3. The above-quoted portion is ambiguous because it leaves

unfettered discretion to the authorities to stop even urgent and important calls
which may be made only while the person is in transit. It fails to consider that,
due to the worsening traffic conditions in Metro Manila, majority of business
is conducted in transit and over cellular phones. Plaintiff is a lawyer who
frequently has to dictate important pleadings over the phone while in transit
due to the worsening traffic condition. The Ordinance appears to bar his
doing so but plaintiff is unaware of the limits of permissible action under the
Ordinance.

4. Unless declaratory relief is granted, plaintiff will suffer grave and

irreparable injury because he is unsure of the instances when he may lawfully
use his cellular phone while in a moving vehicle and when such use may lead
to confiscation and a fine.

WHEREFORE, plaintiff respectfully prays that this Honorable Court

grant declaratory relief and declare plaintiff’s rights and duties under the
Ordinance.

POSITION PAPER

COMPLAINANT, through the undersigned counsels and to this

Honorable Office, most respectfully submits this Position Paper –

PREFATORY STATEMENT

When a person has no property, his job may possibly be his ONLY
possession or means of livelihood and those of his dependents.

When a person loses his job, his dependents suffer as well. The
worker should therefore, be protected and insulated against any arbitrary
deprivation of his job1.

141717, April 14, 2004.

 LEGAL FORMS

The esteemed educator, economist, author and dedicated freemason

Dean Conrado F. Benitez, always reminded his brother masons that:

“One of the five cardinal principles of our

Constitution is the promotion of social justice ‘to insure the
well-being and economic security of all the people’ which
‘should be the concern of the State’. But Social Justice
should not be the concern of the State alone. It should be the
concern of all successful citizens whose success is possible
only in a free society that enables them to succeed according
to their individual merit and initiative. Hence, the Christian
and democratic duty of giving and sharing, for verily, “it is
more blessed to give than to receive”.2

Unfortunately, nowadays this exhortation finds application more in its

violation than in its observance especially in the treatment by the employer of
his worker. Hence, in case of severance from employment, the poor laborer
has no one else to turn to but the State alone.

This call for aid is brought to fore once again in the instant complaint.
A hapless employee who, after spending the best years of his life with the
same employer was constructively dismissed from employment through a
series of discriminatory and oppressive acts.

ACTION

This is a complaint for illegal constructive dismissal with claim for

payment of backwages, moral and exemplary damages, unpaid commissions,
separation pay and attorney’s fees.

 LEGAL FORMS

THE PARTIES

1. Complainant, prior to his severance from employment

worked as a Sales Manager at Unisport Marketing Corporation, with
residence at No 4 Garden Groove St., Park Place Village, Cainta, Rizal, 1900,
and for purposes of this case, is duly represented by the JAWID LAW
OFFICE through the undersigned counsels where he may be served with
summons and other processes of this Honorable Office;

2. On the other hand, Respondent UNISPORT MARKETING

CORPORATION (UNISPORT, for brevity) is a corporation duly organized
and existing under the laws of the Republic of the Philippines with principal
office at 497 President Quirino Avenue., Ext., Corner Zulueta St.,
Paco, Manila, NCR 1007. Co-Respondents Jose Yu and Eleanor Yu Ocampo
are the President and Vice-President of UNISPORT, respectively.

FACTS OF THE CASE

3. Complainant started working for UNISPORT in September

1998 initially under Bradgate Marketing Corporation (Marketing Office of
UNISPORT). Mr Jose Yu (Mr Yu), the company president offered him a job
under its Sales Department. As the department then was experiencing trouble
in marketing and selling their REVA products (slippers), Complainant
literally organized and developed measures intended to promote and increase
the sales output of UNISPORT;

4. Considering that the marketing office of UNISPORT only

started in July 1998 and Complainant was engaged only two (2) months after
as sales manager, he performed the following activities to strengthen the
marketing office, to wit:
a) He systematized Customer Lists nationwide;

307
 LEGAL FORMS

b) He formatted several sales document needed to process Sales

Order;
c) Initially, he was also involved in the Production, Costing,
Distribution, Collection and Merchandising of the Product;
d) He established Planning and Marketing Strategies and Sales
Program to boost Input Orders from customers;
e) Complainant was also responsible for training Eleanor Yu
Ocampo, the daughter of the President and also the Vice
President of UNISPORT. He introduced her to various long-
time clients and storeowners alike to have her familiarize with
UNISPORT’s prospective customers;

5. The effort put forth by Complainant eventually paid off.

From UNISPORT’s humble beginnings, its Reva Brand was able to have a
place of its own in the entire Philippine market - Luzon, Visayas and
Mindanao;

6. In November 2007, although Complainant had completed

and reached the sales quota for that year-end, Respondent Ocampo
sought additional sales of THREE MILLION PESOS (PhP3 Million) in
the Visayas area. In as much as Complainant did not want to disappoint
her, Complainant proceeded to Visayas and tried to pull-off once more
the sales. This is in spite of the fact that it was nearing December and it is
difficult to

get orders at that time since most of the products by then, should have been
already out in the stores;

7. Because of additional leg-work required and too much

stress, Complainant suffered a stroke on December 10, 2007, not long
after he arrived from various provinces in the Visayas.

8. Complainant had to be confined in the hospital for 13 days.

However, because of financial predicament, the doctors allowed him to take a
rest in his house but was strictly prohibited from engaging in any stressful
activity;

9. Complainant reported back for work in April 2008. At this

point, without any hint of compassion for a person who suffered a stroke,

308
 LEGAL FORMS

Complainant was told by Ocampo that if he should suffer again a major

health problem, she will terminate his services;

10. On December 11, 2008, Mr Yu, issued a Memorandum3

which provides, among others, the increase of Sales Quota for 2009, 2010 and
2011. The said issuance indicated that while the sales quota was increased the
commission was reduced. All the more frustrating is that the memorandum
specifically targets Complainant in the following manner-

“It is also advise (sic) to all sales personnel to discipline

your health, a sickly person can’t be tolerated. The
management expects that all sales personnel should
keep their healthy body; a sick person is also
considering having a sick mind.”

11. By the period 2010 up to the early part of 2011, there were
drastic drop in the sales of products. The Product Development headed by
Ocampo, placed her orders in China without consulting the Sales
Department on the product category and style. As a result, there was a
high rejection rate from clients, high inventory in the warehouses and
negative comments from the dealers. This fact is supported by several
correspondences from UNISPORT’s customers and also from its very own
managers. The problem with the declining sales of the product REVA
was not because of the sales managers’ inefficiency but because of the
very style of the product being introduced by the product development
department, headed by Respondent herself. However, despite the obvious
reason why clients were backing off from placing their orders, Ocampo
blamed Complainant on the reduction of sales;

12. During the second week of May 2011, a Memorandum was

issued announcing the transfer of each Department to another location.
Ocampo ordered that the air conditioning unit at Complainant’s room
dismantled, including the cabinet, sofa and the glass partition of the room.
What is appalling is that only Complainant’s air-con unit was pulled out while
the rest of the rooms then maintained ventilation. To make matters worse, the
period of transfer was extended until June 30, 2011. The intentional pull-

3
Annex “A”

309
 LEGAL FORMS

out of the air-con unit was to make the working environment of

Complainant an unbearable one.

13. As early as April to May 2011 the designs of the products

affected the decrease in sales. This is evidenced by emails4 sent by other
managers of UNISPORT, indicating the problem with the products’ style;

14. Even in the latter days of complainant’s service with

UNISPORT, in an email5 sent on June 13, 2011 by Donna Sia,
Merchandising Manager of Gaisano Capital Group (client of Unisport), she
expressed her problem with the designs of the slippers and that she cannot
force her buyers to order. This information is well within the knowledge of
Ocampo. In fact, as early as October 2010, Ocampo sent an email6 to the
managers telling them of the problem. Again, at this point, it bears stating that
the Product Development Department headed by Ocampo is the one
responsible in the selection of the product styles and designs;

15. Ocampo did not stop pressuring Complainant. In fact,

for four (4) straight days, Complainant was quarantined from June 14-
17, 2011 inside Ocampo’s office. She incessantly accused him of being
answerable for the sales output. Ocampo blamed Complainant for the low
sales in spite of the fact that she was aware that the very problem was the
designs of the product she selected;

16. On June 14, 2011, in another email7 sent by Ocampo to

Complainant, she again faulted him on the reduced sales booking. Ocampo
never stopped pressuring Complainant and torturing him of the problem. In
fact, again on June 15, 2011, in an email8 sent by Ocampo, she again
manifested her ill-will and personal resentment against Complainant.
Ocampo threatened Complainant that she will retire him, thus:

“6.) AT THE END OF THE YEAR IF JTS STILL NO

IMPROVEMENT THAN (sic) WE WILL RETIRE HIM”

Annex “D”

Annex “G”

310
 LEGAL FORMS

17. On that same day, Ocampo took pains to remove from

Complainant several accounts he was then handling thereby diminishing and
depriving him of his duties as sales manager. This is evidenced by an email9
she sent to other employees. This was undertaken without the knowledge of
Complainant;

18. Not long thereafter or on June 16, 2011, Respondent Ocampo

called Complainant to her office. She relentlessly pressured him on the
product sales. At this point, Respondent uttered to Complainant –

“JES MAS MABUTI PA MAG RESIGN KA NA LANG.

MAGPAHINGA KA NA. BABAYARAN KA NALANG
NAMIN NG COMMISSION MO”

19. On June 17, 2011, Ocampo told Complainant to just go home

when he reported for work. Ocampo’s animosity against Complainant is
shown in the email10 she sent to the staff on the same day, instigating them to
come together and pressure Complainant, thus:

“x x x. Awaiting your opinions so will forward to jts (Jesus

T Socorro)/bom, thus they will see it’s a committee who is
deciding.

i’m empowering all of you so that you have a voice that jts
will also learn to work with you and hindi parang boss

AKO LANG ANG BOSING DITO HAHA”

(Italic, emphasis and underscoring

Annex “H”
10
Annex “I”

311
 LEGAL FORMS

20. By June 21, 2011 when he reported back to work, Efren

Granada, the Manager of the Human Resource Department and Warehouse
Division, called complainant’s attention and showed him a copy of the
directive issued by Ocampo in her own handwriting, directing him to compute
Complainant’s accrued benefits. When Complainant saw this, he was so
overwhelmed with emotions that he thought that Ocampo was really serious
in having him terminated.

21. Feeling at a loss, unwanted, and despised by Ocampo,

because of the torture and never ending accusations of dismal performance,
Complainant eventually gave in.

22. He was ordered by Efren Granada of HRD to sign a

Quitclaim. Complainant, however refused until he sees the computation
and receives all his unclaimed salaries and commission. When
Complainant went back to office on July 1, 2011 Ocampo went to his
room and directed him that he has to make a Resignation Letter 11 first so
the Accounting Department can start the computation of his receivables.
All the while Complainant was making a resignation letter, Ocampo
dictated the matters which Complainant must write in his Resignation
Letter as he was sitting just in front of her;

23. It will have to be emphasized in here that the resignation

letter of Complainant was initially dated July 1, 2011, the day he went to the
office. However, as appearing at the latter portion of the letter, the effectivity
of said resignation was changed to June 30, 2011. This was written
under the

direction of Ocampo, bearing upon her promise to process all his salaries and
commissions immediately;

24. Complainant went back on July 15, 2011 to follow up on his

unpaid salary and commissions. To his dismay, upon checking with the
accounting, he was informed that NO COMPUTATION was ever made. To
this date, Respondents turned a deaf ear and a blind eye upon Complainant;

11
Annexes “J”

312
 LEGAL FORMS

25. Complainant was coerced to resign because of the anxiety

and burden imposed upon him by Respondents. He was not only forced but
also enticed and incited into making a resignation letter under the pretext that
he will be given his commission and salary promptly. Albeit the same, up to
now, his claims were totally ignored;

26. Due to the foregoing, Complainant filed this instant action for
illegal dismissal before this Honorable Office on July 19, 2011.

27. With the failure to settle amicably, both parties were then
directed to file their respective Position Paper, hence this submission.

ISSUES

The issues to be resolved in this case are as follows:

A. Whether there was constructive dismissal;

B. Whether complainant is entitled to reliefs prayed for.

DISCUSSION

Complainant was Constructively Dismissed

28. There is constructive dismissal if an act of clear

discrimination, insensibility, or disdain by an employer becomes so
unbearable on the part of the employee that it would foreclose any choice
by him except to forego his continued employment. It exists where there is
cessation of work because continued employment is rendered impossible,
unreasonable or unlikely12, as an offer involving a demotion in rank and a
diminution in pay;

29. Complainant was with UNISPORT for almost thirteen (13)

years. He basically institutionalized and established the marketing arm of

12
Norkis Trading v Gnilo, 544 SCRA 279.

313
 LEGAL FORMS

UNISPORT until it reached its peak of earning its place in the market through
its REVA slippers.

30. However, when progress had stopped and signs of declining

sales appeared due to several dogged erroneous decision making-policy in the
product development, Complainant was blamed and pressured at the very
expense of his own health. Not only did Respondents bury Complainant’s
accomplishment and contribution with the company, little by little he was
boxed at a very compromising situation;

31. The discrimination started with a Memorandum 13 which

obviously singled out Complainant but evidently was issued on the
pretext that the issue is his health condition. The Memorandum was
issued the same year Complainant reported back to work after his stroke.
Instead of compassion, Complainant was treated with disdain and
oppression. In spite of the fact that his stroke was principally associated with
every effort and stress he put across for his work at UNISPORT, Respondents
treated his health condition with contempt;

32. Respondents tortured Complainant into thinking that his

condition was his own doing and that this made him a liability to UNISPORT.
This continued when the company was due to transfer to another location.
Respondents made Complainant feel that he was no longer welcome in the
Company.

33. Of all people against whom this could have been done, it was
Complainant’s air-conditioning unit which was first pulled-out from the
building. Without regard to Complainant’s health, Respondents made
Complainant work in such a fatiguing and wearying environment;

34. Jurisprudence established that the gauge for constructive

dismissal is whether a reasonable person in the employee's position would
feel compelled to give up his employment, under the prevailing

13
Annex “A”

314
 LEGAL FORMS

circumstances14. In this case, Respondents made Complainant feel that he

is

no longer needed by the company, short of sending him a termination notice.

Respondents made it impossible for Complainant to perform his work with
motivation but rather only with unreasonable pressure and unnecessary
burden;

35. Ocampo’s animosity towards Complainant is so clear to be

mistaken. Her intent to separate him from UNISPORT is well identified in
various correspondences she issued through email. Words such as, “we will
retire him” is unmistakable - Ocampo wants him out of the company;

36. She made it appear that the cause of the decline in sales was
the failure of the sales department to handle the accounts of the customers.
To cut short, Ocampo wanted to clean her hands off the dirt at the expense of
another. Sadly in this case, it was at the expense of Complainant’s
employment;

37. Thirdly, Ocampo’s ulterior motive to terminate Complainant

from work was visibly manifested when she directed him to resign with a
false promise that she will just give him his unpaid commissions and salaries;

38. At this point, Complainant had already lost hope. Instead of

encouragement, they gave him frustration. Instead of hope, he was castigated
with resentment. Until all this put a serious toll upon Complainant, he was
disheartened and eventually forced to resign;

39. Complainant knew that staying would only make

Respondents render it more difficult for him to continue working. He felt that
he just had to let go of his employment. This plan eventually materialized
when after four (4) days of being pressured, Ocampo induced him into
writing a resignation letter

14
Siemens Philippines, Inc. v. Domingo, G.R. No. 150488, July 28,
2008, 560 SCRA 86.

315
 LEGAL FORMS

under the pretext that the company would immediately account all money
claims due him if he does so resign.

40. However, although almost two (2) months had already passed
still no single centavo was spared to Complainant. This made it more difficult
for Complainant to find the means for his family’s daily wherewithal
especially now that he sends his four (4) children to school;

41. To stress out the matter of the forced resignation of

complainant, this letter was written in front of Respondent Ocampo and solely
upon her direction. This assertion is highlighted by the fact that even the date
of such resignation letter which was written and supposed to be dated July 1,
2011, was made to become effective retroactively on June 30, 2011;

42. As discussed above, Complainant was promised to have his

salary and due commissions released provided he executes first his
resignation letter in his own handwriting. Complainant was strategically
forced to separate himself from the company with the promise of financial
assistance. This fact was distinctly manifested in the resignation letter
Complainant drafted in the presence of Ocampo, to wit –

“And the assistance your going to give would be a big help

so I wuld start again and will be treasured. this will be a big
help to the education of children’s education”

43. Cleary, Complainant was promised financial assistance. Yet,

no amount of monetary aid was ever extended to him even up to this time.
Even the manner in which the resignation letter was written could have been
constructed in a more articulate and ardent fashion if it was really written
voluntarily. Apparently, even the words as spelled and sentences phrased
indicated that Complainant was under a lot of pressure and stress at the time
he was writing it;

44. Complainant would not have opted to resign. Circumstances

surrounding his resignation show that there was no reason for him to do so.
He basically started the Marketing Arm of UNISPORT. It was by his initial

316
 LEGAL FORMS

effort, skills and strategy which made the face of REVA product recognized
in the consumer market.

45. REVA is practically Complainant’s very own “child” which

he nurtured and developed through the years. And just because of an illness
which was rooted on Complainant’s own effort to empower UNISPORT, he
was later on underrated and disowned. Instead of gratitude and
benevolence he was treated with scorn, contempt and oppression;

46. Was there any reason for Complainant to resign?

Complainant prior to being coerced into resigning from work has four (4)
children to send to school. He had school fees to pay, allowances to disburse
and utility bills to settle. Why would he resign when he had every reason to
stay for his family? This is only because he was forced to do so;

47. In sum, Complainant sought relief and justice before this

Honorable Office, against the oppression he suffered in the hands of
Respondents. Complainant has passion and love for his employment which
was a source of a

great deal of pride. He even went to the extent of severely compromising his
health, but his effort was returned with ridicule and worst, he was stricken off
with the hope of a better life for his children and family;

48. Having been illegally constructively dismissed, Complainant

is thus entitled to the payment of his backwages and his unpaid commissions.
A constructively dismissed employee having been separated from
employment in a manner which the law considers illegal is entitled to receive
backwages;

49. As regards Complainant’s claim for unpaid commissions, the

Memorandum issued by Mr Yu dated December 11, 2008 15 clearly declares
that sales personnel are entitled to receive an over-riding commission based
on total sales nationwide. Complainant’s commission however for the
months of March, April, May and June 2011 were never released to him.
To date, Respondents still withhold Complainant’s due commissions without
any just cause. Taking into account that Complainant in this case was

compelled to litigate and engage the services of a counsel to protect his

interest16, the award of attorney’s fees is justified under the premises;

50. Considering also that the relationship of Complainant with

Respondents has been severely strained, payment of separation pay instead of
reinstatement is warranted.

51. Also, as the acts perpetuated by Respondents manifest

conscious and intentional design to do a wrongful act against Complainant,
the latter is also entitled to be paid moral and exemplary damages.
PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed of this

Honorable Office that after due consideration of this case, judgment be
rendered declaring Complainant illegally dismissed and order Respondents
jointly and severally liable to pay his backwages, separation pay, unpaid
commissions, damages and attorney’s fees.
Praying for such other relief just and equitable under the premises.

REPLY

COMPLAINANT, through the undersigned counsels and to this

Honorable Office, most respectfully submits this Reply to Respondents’
Position Paper –

1. Respondents alleged in their position paper that Complainant

was receiving quite a “comfortable” compensation package of P53,000/month
prior to severance of his employment. While Complainant admits such an
amount he receives as his monthly salary from UNISPORT, he begs to
contend that the compensation is nowhere near being comfortable. Taking
into account the fact that Complainant basically structured and established the
initial operation of UNISPORT, until such time that it reached its stature and
position in the market, the amount he is getting as monthly pay is not as much
as he deserves;

321
 LEGAL FORMS

2. In addition, it is bears emphasizing that Complainant’s work

does not only include simple task of procuring sales in a limited area and
market. When Benjie Valenzuela, sales manager of Luzon, resigned back in
2009, he was the one who took over his place and cover the Luzon market for
sales. In the coming year of 2010, when the sales manager of Visayas also
left UNISPORT, Complainant was also disposed off to replace the position in
the Visayas market. This goes to show only that while Complainant was
backing up and covering market areas of Luzon and Visayas, which
supposedly should be filled-in by two (2) different managers, he was actually
holding three (3) positions at one time, yet, his salary was nailed to
P53,000.00. Respondents now had the audacity to call Complainant’s salary
comfortable;

3. Complainant strongly denies that he insisted in resigning out

of UNISPORT. In support of their theory that Complainant did so
voluntarily, they argued that the resignation letter was made in Complainant’s
own handwriting; that he applied for employment clearance 17; and that he
surrendered all office tools and gadgets issued to him by UNISPORT.

4. First, the fact that Complainant applied for an employment

clearance, does not ipso facto conclude that the resignation was freely made.
In fact the Release and Quitclaim form attached thereto was never filled-out
nor signed by Complainant. Complainant was left without any choice but to
apply for a clearance considering that he was told that he can only get the
payment of his due commission and unpaid salaries after the completion of
his clearance;

5. Second, he returned the issued laptop and mobile phones as

he deemed it appropriate considering that these things were not his own but of
the company. There is just no reason for Complainant to withhold the same.
Third, while the resignation letter is indeed written in Complainant’s own
handwriting, the same does not at all paint a picture of voluntary resignation;

6. Complainant firmly reiterates that the execution of said

letter was undertaken under relentless compulsion and pressure coming from
Respondent Eleanor Ocampo. To start with, the resignation letter was
17
See Annex “2” – Respondents’ Position Paper.

322
 LEGAL FORMS

prepared in front and in the very presence of Ocampo. She was practically
directing Complainant as regards what his letter of resignation should contain.
Even the date appearing in the letter suggests a clear notion that someone was
directing him the things ought to be written therein. The letter was initially
dated July 1, 2011, but what could Complainant be possibly thinking when he
changed the effectivity of his resignation to June 30 if not that someone
actually ordered him to do so, and, when complainant is fully aware that
resignation must be made with at least 30 days prior notice to his employer;

7. Again Complainant was required to draft a resignation letter

right there and then with the false promise of paying his commissions at the
soonest possible time. If Respondents truly intended to give Complainant
what is due him, why is it that to date not a single centavo was paid to him?
Worse, he is even being demanded to pay the loan he supposedly owe
UNISPORT. And, although Complainant admits that he has an existing loan
obligation with the Respondent company, is that the right treatment that
should be accorded to someone who has practically spent 13 years of his best
life to establish, develop and improve UNISPORT. Complainant will never
deny his loan obligation, but what truly hurts him is that it now appears that
Respondents had totally discounted and disacknowledged Complainant’s
worth and contribution to the company by shoving off to his face that he is not
deserving of anything, not even compassion;

8. Complainant was constructively dismissed by Respondents.

He was thrown with overwhelming circumstances prompting him to feel that
he has no place in the company. The following are but just of the particulars
and conditions which eventually constrained Complainant to let go of his
employment;

a. Memorandum18 issued in 2008 directed

against the Complainant although depicted as if meant for
every and all employees’ notice;

b. Complainant was held for days inside

Respondent Ocampo’s office where he was verbally
pressured and psychologically stressed out by respondent;

18
See Annex “A” of Complainant’s Position Paper.

323
 LEGAL FORMS

c. Email (Annex F) dated June 14, 2011 sent

by Respondent Ocampo urging him to explain the drop in
sales when she knew all along that the very problem was the
design she herself chose for the products;

d. Email (Annex G) dated June 15, 2011,

Respondent Ocampo declared her ill-will against
Complainant by stating “WE WILL RETIRE HIM” ;

e. Email (Annex H) dated June 15, 2011, sent

by Respondent Ocampo to everyone with words like;
“decided to lessen accounts of jts xxx” (referring to Jesus T
Socorro);

f. June 16, 2011 – Respondent Ocampo

verbally told Complainant to just resign and take a rest and
that they will just give him his commissions;

g. Email (Annex I) sent by Respondent

Ocampo inciting other individuals to go against
Complainant;

h. Resignation Letter is in itself a proof that

Complainant was directed and forced to resign;

i. Respondent Ocampo after forcing

Complainant to resign, by means of deception, made it appear
that Complainant would be receiving something when in truth
and in fact, Respondent had really no intention to do so;

9. There is no truth that Complainant willingly wanted to

separate himself from UNISPORT and that he insisted to resign. The
animosity of Respondent Ocampo against Complainant, as she exhibited in
various emails19, sent to various employees, would evidently disclose her
ulterior motive of putting Complainant under extreme condition of stress until
such time he was forced to resign. On this matter, Respondent Ocampo was
successful.

See Annexes “F” ,“G” , “H” and “I” of Complainant’s Position

19

Paper.

324
 LEGAL FORMS

10. As regards the claim of Respondents for payment of

Complainant’s loan obligation, while admittedly the same in fact is true;
Respondents cannot just automatically deduct the same against his 13 th month
pay and unpaid commissions. There is no agreement, whether verbal or
written, no contract was ever entered into by Complainant with Respondents
allowing them to deduct automatically the employee’s loan from those that
are due him under the law. Since no notice was ever given him, this is
completely a violation of Complainant’s right to due process. If Respondents
want to recover Complainant’s loan obligation, there is an appropriate forum
for that. It is wrong to muddle such issue in this controversy as the same
should not in any manner affect Complainant’s right granted by the
Constitution and labor laws;

11. Lastly, Complainant emphasizes that it is a horn-book

doctrine that the courts in deciding cases between labor and employer, they
should be guided by the time-honored principle that if doubt exists between
the evidence presented by the employer and the employee, the scales of
justice must be tilted in favor of the latter. The rule in controversies between a
laborer and his master distinctly states that doubts reasonably arising from the
evidence, or in the interpretation of agreements and writing, should be
resolved in the former’s favor20;

52. Considering that Complainant was indeed constructively

illegally dismissed, he is entitled to be paid his backwages, unpaid
commission, moral and exemplary damages, attorney’s fees and separation
pay in lieu of reinstatement;

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed of this

Honorable Office that after due consideration of this case, judgment be
rendered declaring Complainant constructively illegally dismissed and order
Respondents to be jointly and severally liable to pay his backwages,
separation pay, unpaid commissions, damages and attorney’s fees.
Praying for such other relief just and equitable under the premises.

REJOINDER

COMPLAINANT, through the undersigned counsels and to this

Honorable Office, most respectfully submits this Reply –

1. Respondents, in their Reply, attached the

affidavit of Unisport’s President, Mr Jose Yu,
who made various allegations that are wholly
irrelevant to controvert the material allegation of
constructive illegal dismissal and corresponding
proofs proffered by Complainant;

2. Mr Yu even declared that although Complainant’s job and

duties are indeed multifarious, his theory is that they were far from being
stressful. To reiterate the purposes of Complainant’s job, are as follows:

a. To deliver the assigned nationwide sales quota for the year;

b. To supervise the sales force in the implementation of the

sales program;

c. To complement with Consignment and Boutique Section in

the implementation of overall corporate strategies;

328
 LEGAL FORMS

d. To administer the daily activities of the Collection Unit

e. To assist the CMSO in the development of marketing plans

and sales program.

3. While Mr Yu’s opinion that Complainant’s job was never

stressful, the same observation runs counter against the very purpose of
Complainant’s job. It is his responsibility to see to it that he delivers the
assigned sales quota for the year. Even an ordinary person, not adept to the
intricacies of the sales world, would find it difficult to think in the
outstretched imagination that procuring sales quota is like a walk in a park.
Let alone to be burdened with additional multitude of duties, such as, but not
limited to: providing strategic and operating guidelines to the sales force,
taking care of the collection of payables, ensuring proper disposition and
receipt of deliveries, directly handling key accounts in Metro Manila,
developing sales program and training, directly handling sales complaint
beyond the level of the sales force and making periodic rounds to key
provincial customers to sustain business relation;

4. Mr Yu also denies Complainant’s allegations in paragraphs 3,

4, and 5 of his Position Paper. He mentioned that, Complainant’s alleged
claim that he single-handedly developed measures intended to increase the
sales output, is fallacious. To start with, Complainant never said that he
single-handedly developed measures adopted in sales. Complainant merely
pointed out that the strategies used in increasing the sales mostly originated
from his ideas which were later on adopted by the sales workforce to boost
sales output;

5. What is mostly depressing in this case is that, Mr Yu, under

paragraph 6 of Respondents’ Reply, in desperate attempt to reject
Complainant’s cause, opted to attack the very person of Complainant by
imputing against him the disposition of being a drunkard, a womanizer, and
even his working habits. These allegations apparently were embodied in an
Incident Report21 made by a certain Dolores R Resuello and a document22
containing several imputations allegedly signed by a certain Ms Macam;

21
Annex “9” – Respondents’ Reply.
22
Annex “10” – Respondents’ Reply.

329
 LEGAL FORMS

6. These documents are wanting of any probative value. It is a

basic rule on evidence that the moral character of a party is generally
inadmissible. It may be admitted only when the issue of pertinent character is
itself involved in the case.23 Also, not only that the allegations in the incident
report are self-serving, the incident report itself does not have any evidentiary
weight considering that it can be easily prepared at any time, even at present,
with printed date allegedly pertaining to a 2008 incident. Complainant would
also wish to make an observation anent the written cellphone number on the
incident report. From this standpoint, what appears is that the same is written
in order to relate it to a cellphone bill of Bradgate Marketing Corporation
indicating several calls made to the same cellphone number. The only
problem is that such billing statement alone could never prove who made the
calls much less the identity of the owner of such cellphone number;

7. In this case, Complainant’s primary cause of action against

Respondents is that his working environment was attended with so much
animosity, insecurity and hatred against him. The circumstances Complainant
had to put up with at the company starting at the time he suffered stroke were
so much for him to bear. Adding insult to the injury, Mr Yu’s daughter
Eleanor Ocampo maliciously paved the way in order to make Complainant’s
remaining days with the company so strenuous and unyielding;

8. In Mr Yu’s own statement, he maintained that the purpose of

the Memorandum24 is to REWARD those who EXERTED EFFORT to
attain their targets and PENALIZE those who had lackluster sales
performance. The subject Memorandum provides the following mandated
Sales Quota:

2009 QUOTA Php 85,000,000.00

QUOTA RATE OF COMMISSION
Above 100% 1.03%
91% - 100% 1.00%
86% - 90% 0.90%

23
Section 51, Rule 130, Rules on Evidence.
24
Annex “A” – Complainant’s Position Paper.

330
 LEGAL FORMS

81% - 85% 0.85%

76% - 80% 0.80%
75% and Below .0.00%

2010 QUOTA Php 95,000,000.00

QUOTA RATE OF COMMISSION
Above 100% 0.96%
91% - 100% 0.93%
86% - 90% 0.84%
81% - 85% 0.79%
76% - 80% 0.74%
75% and Below .0.00%

2011 QUOTA Php 85,000,000.00

QUOTA RATE OF COMMISSION
Above 100% 0.93%
91% - 100% 0.90%
86% - 90% 0.81%
81% - 85% 0.76%
76% - 80% 0.72%
75% and Below .0.00%

9. While Mr Yu claims that the purpose of the new commission

scheme is to reward those who exert effort to attain the target quota, this
appears quite contrary to the figures reflected in the memorandum. Observe
the change of commission rate from 2009, 2010 to 2011. The AMOUNT OF
COMMISSION WHICH A SALESMAN MAY RECEIVE CLEARLY
DECREASES in the years following through;

10. Now Respondent Yu argues that the purpose of the

commission scheme is to REWARD those who exerted effort to attain the
quota sales. How can this be true when the commission rate is markedly
reduced and diminished while the sales percentage quota is retained. One
does not need to have a brilliant mind to realize that there can never be a

331
 LEGAL FORMS

REWARD in this case WHEN THE COMMISSION IS DISCOUNTED while

the TOTAL SALES QUOTA REQUIRED EVERY YEAR INCREASES;

11. While more effort is required to be extracted from the

salesmen, the corresponding commissions pertinent thereto never
commensurate the exertion put forth by them. It seems to us that whether
one attains the quota or not, the memorandum leads to the same effect -
dissatisfaction and disheartenment on the part of the salesmen.

12. Mr Yu averred that the memorandum is an exercise of

management prerogative. He added under second stanza, paragraph 10 of
their Reply that he also made it a policy to withhold any commission from
those who have been sick leave for a continuous one-month period.
Evidently, what Respondent sought to impose against an employee who had
just suffered from illness is to hold back the commission due from him at the
moment he needs it the most. Clearly, compassion for the sick is not one of
the virtues being practiced by Respondents. This merely bolsters the
allegation of Complainant that the memorandum was ill-motivated and was
issued to personally attack and further aggravate the poor health condition of
Complainant;

13. Respondents also questioned why the 2008 Memorandum

was used as basis of the charge of constructive dismissal when Complainant
separated from Unisport only on July 1, 2011. In reply to this query, it bears
emphasizing that the Memorandum was not the sole basis utilized by
Complainant in his claim for constructive illegal dismissal. The
memorandum merely ignited the series of harassment and discrimination
undertaken against him, by and through his daughter Eleanor Ocampo;

14. In addition to the memorandum, several correspondences

sent through e-mail evidencing Respondent Ocampo’s display of disdain and
contempt against Complainant literally led him to feel the stress in staying
and pressured him in letting go of his employment;

332
 LEGAL FORMS

15. Words used in the emails such as, “WE WILL RETIRE
HIM”, “DECIDED TO LESSEN THE ACCOUNTS OF JTC” and “I’M
EMPOWERING ALL OF YOU SO THAT YOU HAVE A VOICE SO
THAT JTS WILL ALSO LEARN TO WORK WITH YOU AND HINDI
PARANG BOSING DATING NYA… AKO LANG ANG BOSING DITO
HAHA, which literally call for employees to rise up against Complainant are
too hard pieces of evidence showing that up to the last days of Complainant in
the company, Respondent Ocampo made it so difficult for him to continue
working at Unisport;

16. Lastly, in the sworn statement of Efren Grandana, he denied

having shown Complainant a written directive from Respondent Ocampo, to
compute his accrued benefits. This bare denial cannot stand against an
affirmative allegation of an employee. Nonetheless, in the regular course of
business, the accounting department undertakes the computation of whatever
is due an employee. However, this procedure was no longer followed by the
cohorts of Respondent Ocampo who were also equally responsible in
pressuring Complainant to leave the company;

17. Efren Granada also allegedly saw only Complainant in

writing his resignation letter without Respondent Ocampo. This declaration is
a blatant lie. All the while Complainant was writing his resignation letter, he
was in the very presence of Ocampo who directed the matters to be written
therein. Noteworthy to state, in the normal course of events, an employee
most willing to resign would not have drafted, prepared and written the same
inside the company premises, or at the very least, in the presence of his own
boss;

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is respectfully prayed of this

Honorable Office that after due consideration of this case, judgment be
rendered declaring Complainant constructively illegally dismissed and order
Respondents to be jointly and severally liable to pay his backwages,
separation pay, unpaid commissions, damages and attorney’s fees.
Praying for such other relief just and equitable under the premises.

MEMORANDUM FOR PETITIONER

PETITIONER, through the undersigned counsels, in compliance

with the Resolution of this Honorable Court dated March 13, 2013, most
respectfully submits this Memorandum and state:

PREFATORY STATEMENT

336
 LEGAL FORMS

It is said that one of the most painful hurt is caused by the one close
to us. The pain is even exacerbated when what is used to beat us is a hard
and very cold implement called INGRATITUDE.

STATEMENT OF FACTS

1. Petitioner started out working for UNISPORT as sales

manager in September 1998 under Bradgate Marketing Corporation, which is
then the marketing arm of UNISPORT. As the company at that time was
experiencing trouble in marketing and selling their REVA products
(slippers), Petitioner organized and developed measures to promote and
increase the sales of UNISPORT. All the efforts exerted by Petitioner paid
off. UNISPORT’s Reva Brand was able to establish a niche of its own in the
entire Philippine market.

2. Because of too much stress brought about by the

additional sales demand, Petitioner suffered from stroke on December 10,
2007 after he came back from the Visayas province. Petitioner reported
back to work only in April 2008. At this point, without due regard to
Petitoner’s health condition, OCAMPO told him that if he should suffer again
a major health problem, she will terminate his services. On December 11,
2008, YU, issued a Memorandum (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “A”
of petitioner’s Position Paper) which provides, among others, the requirement
of increase in Sales Quota for 2009, 2010 and 2011. The Memorandum
advised all sales personnel to discipline their health and made a
pronouncement that a sickly person cannot be tolerated;

3. By year 2010 up to the early part of 2011, there were drastic

drop in the sales of products. The Product Development headed by
OCAMPO, placed her orders in China without considering the position
of the Sales Department on the product category and style. What
OCAMPO did was merely to circulate to the sales department the image of
the products which have already been placed in order, only FOR NOTICE.
As a result, there was a high rejection rate from clients, high inventory in the
warehouses and negative comments from dealers;

337
 LEGAL FORMS

4. During the second week of May 2011, a Memorandum was

issued announcing the transfer of each Department to another location.
OCAMPO ordered that the air conditioning unit at Petitioner’s room
dismantled, including the cabinet, sofa and the glass partition of the
room. What was more awful was that it was only Petitioner’s air-
conditioning unit that was pulled out while the rest of the rooms
maintained theirs. To make matters worse, the period of transfer was
extended up to June 30, 2011. The motive behind the intentional pull-out
of the air-con unit was undoubtedly clear - to make the working
environment of Petitioner more unbearable;

6. OCAMPO did not stop pressuring Petitioner OCAMPO

always put the blame on Petitioner for the low sales in spite of the fact that
she was well aware that the very problem was the designs of the product she
selected;

7. On June 14, 2011, in another email (Please refer to Annex

“D” – Annex “F” of petitioner’s Position Paper) sent by OCAMPO to
Petitioner, she again faulted him on the reduced sales booking. OCAMPO
never stopped pressuring and torturing him of the problem she herself created.
In fact, again on June 15, 2011, in an email (Please refer to Annex “D” –
Annex “G” of petitioner’s Position Paper) she again manifested her ill-will
and personal resentment against HIM. OCAMPO even threatened him that
she would retire him early by mentioning in the email that if at the end of the
year and Petitioner still has not improved, then she will terminate his
employment. The threat was followed by series of harassment when
OCAMPO removed from Petitioner several accounts he was then
handling. By doing so, Petitioner was deprived of possible commissions
for the lost accounts. This was evidenced by an email (Please refer to
Annex “D” – Annex “H” of petitioner’s Position Paper) she sent to other
employees.

8. Not long thereafter OCAMPO verbally demanded that

Petitioner might as well resign from the company. OCAMPO’s grudge
against Petitioner escalated. In an email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex
“I” of petitioner’s Position Paper) OCAMPO sent to her staff she even
instigating them to come together and pressure Petitioner, by saying:

i’m empowering all of you so that you have

a voice that jts will also learn to work with
you and hindi parang boss dating niya.

(emphasis and underscoring supplied)

9. By June 21, 2011 when Petitioner reported to work, Efren

Granada, the Manager of the Human Resource Department (HRD) and
Warehouse Division, called his attention and showed him a copy of the
directive issued by OCAMPO in her own handwriting, directing him to
compute Petitioner’s accrued benefits. At this point, Petitioner could not
believe that OCAMPO was really serious in terminating his employment. All
these put a huge toll upon him that he was eventually forced to just leave his
work. Sometime on July 1, 2011 OCAMPO went to his room and directed
him that he has to make a Resignation Letter which was written under the
direction of OCAMPO who dictated the matters to be written thereon.
Petitioner was left with no other option but to resign because of the anxiety,
discriminatory working environment, malicious remarks urging him to resign,
and other unnecessary burden imposed upon him by OCAMPO;

10. Due to the foregoing, Petitioner filed this instant action for
illegal constructive dismissal before the Office of the Labor Arbiter on July
19, 2011. The Labor Arbiter subsequently rendered a decision dated February
23, 2012 resolving the case in favor of Respondents. Petitioner appealed the
decision of the Labor Arbiter to the NLRC which decided in favor of the
Respondents. Petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration was likewise denied.
Hence, this petition.

ISSUES TO BE RESOLVED

Whether or not Public Respondent NLRC, gravely abused its

discretion when it affirmed the Decision of the Honorable Labor Arbiter
finding that Petitioner voluntarily resigned.

339
 LEGAL FORMS

Whether or Public Respondent NLRC, gravely abused its

discretion when it found that there is no constructive dismissal in this
case.

III

ARGUMENTS AND DISCUSSION

The NLRC erred in

affirming the findings of
the Labor Arbiter that:
Respondents were able to
show that the resignation
of Petitioner was made
voluntary.

11. Public Respondent affirmed the ruling of the Labor Arbiter

finding that Petitioner’s resignation was done voluntarily. It harped on the
resignation letter executed by Petitioner emphasizing that resignation is
written in Petitioner’s own handwriting and that it contained words of
gratitude. Additionally, it mentioned that Petitioner was promised the release
of his receivables (commissions) and that he filed this complaint upon
learning that Respondents did not make a computation of his commissions.
Moreover, Public Respondent likewise reiterated the rationale adopted by the
Labor Arbiter in rebutting Petitioner’s claim of forced resignation;

12. We submit that while the letter of resignation was in fact

written in Petitioner’s own handwriting it did not ipso facto make the
resignation voluntary. The circumstances as to how the letter was written

340
 LEGAL FORMS

must be scrutinized to determine the voluntary or, to put it more

accurately, the involuntary nature of the act;

13. The Labor Arbiter stressed that the words of gratitude

appearing on the letter could hardly come from someone forced to resign.

14. All we can say is that this observation could have been
correct if it were freely written by the hapless employee. But sad to say this is
not the case in here. Once more and with a renewed emphasis - we would
like to stress that at the time the resignation was made OCAMPO was at
Petitioner’s throat directing the matters which should be put in the letter;

15. The denial made by Granada who allegedly saw Petitioner

writing his resignation letter by himself could not be treated as a reliable
source of truth. This allegation was not only specifically denied by Petitioner,
the facts are undisputed that during the entire time Petitioner was writing
his resignation letter, the only one present was OCAMPO who directed
and checked the contents written in his letter. Granada was nowhere in the
room when OCAMPO ordered Petitioner to write the letter. How could he
have known what Petitioner was writing in his resignation letter? Granada’s
claim is incredible in light of these circumstances. Granada had no personal
knowledge of the events surrounding the incident when Petitioner wrote such
letter under the dictates of OCAMPO, thus, his statements are not only
incompetent but also doubtful.

16. More than that, why would such an act of appreciation toward
the company which Petitioner has helped established and eventually came to
love for 13 years, be taken against Petitioner? Petitioner does not deny that he
was grateful for having become a part of UNISPORT. And true enough, his
love for the company is declared in his letter. But it should not be
overlooked that the incidents that steered him and pushed him into
resigning and to write the letter of resignation was due to OCAMPO’s
unfair treatment, hatred, and clear disdain against him. Sadly, this was
never passed upon nor considered by the Honorable Public Respondent.

17. The Labor Arbiter mentioned that Petitioner is not a gullible

person who could be influenced in writing a resignation letter in such tenor.

341
 LEGAL FORMS

18. True enough, Petitioner is not an unlettered individual, but it

is noteworthy that at the time the letter was written Petitioner was under
severe stress and pressure. It is not highly unlikely for any individual to act
upon things which under normal circumstance would have been carefully
thought of. Petitioner, still as a human being, became sensitive to highly
hostile and antagonizing environment he had to put up with. Petitioner here
spent thirteen (13) years of his life with a company that he helped build. It
was his dream to place the brand REVA in the map of the sporting world - a
dream and promise which he successfully fulfilled. How would a man who
helped improve the REVA brand feel when faced with such resentment?
There was just so much disdain and utter ingratitude thrown at him? In the
face of all these, who would not have lost his equanimity, balance and focus?

19. We believe that the voluntariness of the resignation must

not only be assessed on the basis solely of a handwritten resignation letter
and its cold wordings but also on the circumstances and reasons why it
was written;

20. In the case of Peñaflor vs. Outdoor Clothing Manufacturing

Corporation25, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Peñaflor, who after
submitting his resignation letter also filed a case for constructive dismissal
against his employer. The Court in deciding in his favor ruled that he “was
constructively dismissed given the hostile and discriminatory working
environment he found himself in”.

21. The Supreme Court also ruled in the case of SHS Perforated
Materials Incorporated vs. Diaz26 that the respondent was forced to resign
despite the fact that the latter served his resignation letter. The Court
considered the same as constructive dismissal, citing the case of Duldulao v.
Court of Appeals27, where the court ruled that “there is constructive dismissal
if an act of clear discrimination, insensibility, or disdain by an employer
becomes so unbearable on the part of the employee that it would foreclose
any choice by him except to forego his continued employment. It exists where
there is cessation of work because continued employment is rendered
impossible, unreasonable or unlikely, as an offer involving a demotion in rank

 LEGAL FORMS

and a diminution in pay”. In that case, what made it impossible, unreasonable

or unlikely for respondent to continue working for SHS was the unlawful
withholding of his salary;

22. The foregoing cases only show that in numerous instances,

the Highest Court of this land looked beyond the existence of a resignation
letter and considered the circumstances surrounding the case and the evidence
presented in ruling that the resignations were not voluntary and that the same
constitute constructive dismissal;

23. Public Respondent even agreed with the Honorable Labor

Arbiter that when Petitioner returned his laptop, cellular phones, calculator,
stapler and company car assigned to him this was an indication of the
voluntary nature of his resignation;

24. We beg to disagree on the above conclusion. Petitioner had to

return the issued laptop and mobile phones considering that these things were
not his but that of the company. Not only that there is no reason for him to
withhold them, he was also afraid that his continued possession of these
company supplies might be used against him. This is not rocket science nor
unfounded supposition but is practical reality;

25. Public Respondent is of the opinion that Petitioner filed this

complainant upon learning that Respondents did not make a computation of
his receivables as promise.

26. With all due respect to the Public Respondent, but it seemed
to have erroneously concluded of the proximate cause why Petitioner decided
to leave work. The promise of Respondent to give Petitioner his commission
came in the latter part of the events only after the series of discrimination
Ocampo burdened Petitioner. This was never THE PROXIMATE REASON
why Petitioner had to resign. The receivables were merely the consequence
of the forced resignation. And what further infuriated Petitioner was that he
was deceived by respondents. They never intended to fulfill their promise. It
was just a scheme, a ploy to throw Petitioner out of the company destitute in
all. Is this not a classic case of INJUSTICE CRYING OUT TO HIGH
HEAVENS?

343
 LEGAL FORMS

27. Petitioner had no choice but to file this case. In fact, it is our
stand that the promise of disbursing Petitioner’s receivables was even adopted
by Ocampo to entice Petitioner and ultimately overwhelm Petitioner to grab in
the opportunity to leave his work and receive his money in return. To
Petitioner’s mind, if he would not write such letter of resignation, Respondent
Ocampo will just hurt him more and cause further difficulty in claiming his
commissions. If Respondents were even acting in all good faith when they
offered Petitioner to release his receivables, why is that to date there is still no
attempt on their to give what is due Petitioner? If this is not corrected, where
is Social Justice in here as eloquently described by Justice Laurel in Calalang
v Williams28?

28. Resignation is a formal pronouncement or relinquishment of

an office, with the intention of relinquishing the office accompanied by the act
of relinquishment. As the intent to relinquish must concur with the overt act
of relinquishment, the acts of the employee before and after the alleged
resignation must be considered in determining whether, in fact, he intended to
sever his employment29;

29. In this case, the overt acts of Petitioner before and after
the alleged resignation do not show his intention to sever his employment.
What even strongly negates the claim of resignation is the subsequent
filing of complaint for constructive dismissal;

28
G.R. No. 47800, December 2, 1940; “Social justice is “neither
communism, nor despotism, nor atomism, nor anarchy,” but the
humanization of laws and the equalization of social and economic
forces by the State so that justice in its rational and objectively secular
conception may at least be approximated. Social justice means the
promotion of the welfare of all the people, the adoption by the
Government of measures calculated to insure economic stability of all
the competent elements of society, through the maintenance of a
proper economic and social equilibrium in the interrelations of the
members of the community, constitutionally, through the adoption of
measures legally justifiable, or extraconstitutionally, through the
exercise of powers underlying the existence of all governments on the
time-honored principle of salus populi est suprema lex.”

344
 LEGAL FORMS

30. Resignation is inconsistent with the filing of the complaint for

illegal dismissal.30 It would have been illogical for petitioner to resign and
then file a complaint for illegal dismissal later on.31 If Petitioner was
determined to resign, he would not have filed the complaint for illegal
dismissal. This is plain and simple;

31. The truth of the matter is that Petitioner was compelled by

circumstances at the workplace created by Respondent OCAMPO.
These events was deliberately adopted by Respondent OCAMPO to
ensure that Petitioner would be put in a place where he no longer has any
choice but to leave work;
32. The circumstances surrounding Petitioner’s resignation must
also be taken into consideration to determine whether the resignation was
voluntary:

31.1 May we invite the attention of this Honorable Court

to the series of emails32 sent by OCAMPO to several
employees of UNISPORT which shows her hostility and
antagonism towards Petitioner;

31.2 OCAMPO, with lack of respect and courtesy,

likewise removed several accounts from Petitioner
thereby diminishing his duties as sales manager, without
his knowledge. By reducing his accounts, Petitioner
likewise loss commissions for sales he could earn from
these accounts. This is evidenced by an email that OCAMPO
sent to her employees;

31.3 On June 17, 2011, OCAMPO told Petitioner to just

go home when he reported for work. On June 21, 2011, Efren
Granada directive issued by OCAMPO, in her own

 LEGAL FORMS

handwriting, directing Granada to compute Petitioner’s

accrued benefits. When Petitioner saw this, he was deeply
hurt and saddened by the thought that OCAMPO was serious
in having his employment terminated;

31.4 He was subsequently ordered by Granada to sign a

quitclaim but petitioner refused. On July 1, 2011, OCAMPO
went to Petitioner’s room and directed him to make a
resignation letter on the pretext that the Accounting
Department would start computing his receivables upon
receipt of his resignation letter. Hopeless and dejected,
Petitioner was emotionally compelled to write a
resignation letter. To make the situation worse, he wrote
it in front of OCAMPO who dictated the matters which
he must write in his resignation letter.

33. There can be no valid resignation where the act was made
under compulsion or under circumstances approximating compulsion,
such as when an employee’s act of handing in his resignation was a
reaction to circumstances leaving him no alternative but to resign.33
Clearly in this case, Petitioner did not resign voluntarily. He resigned upon
submission to Respondent’s pressure and clear act of discrimination. He was
scorned by Respondent Ocampo, this is the reason why she had to device a
scheme and set a plan that eventually compelled Petitioner to resign.

not a case of constructive dismissal

34. The Public Respondent allegedly found an “apparent

voluntariness of writing the resignation personally without any duress and
which showed no force employed in its execution”;

35. It must be pointed out however that while there may not be
actual physical force or even threat employed by Respondents which
eventually lead Petitioner to write the resignation letter, the conditions then
existing should have been considered in their totality in ascertaining whether
petitioner’s resignation was voluntary or that he was merely compelled to
resign and write a letter in such manner and tenor;

36. What impelled Petitioner to resign were not only due to the
unreasonable acts and unfair treatment he suffered in the hands of OCAMPO
and other colleagues but the dictate of no less than his boss OCAMPO that he
should resign. The Honorable Public Respondent failed to consider the
evidence that were presented in support of this claim. It simply ignored
the fact that on several occasions, OCAMPO through emails expressed
her desire to end the employment of Petitioner and this desire was
VERBALIZED and practically DICTATED to the hapless employee first
on June 16, 2011 and finally on July 1, 2011 when OCAMPO went to see
Petitioner in his room;

37. It is notable likewise that while the company at that time may
have been experiencing problems on the sales of its slipper products due to
poor designs, it was respondent OCAMPO herself who heads the Product
Development Department and who is responsible for the selection and
product styles. Why would OCAMPO solely blame Petitioner for low turn-out
of sales when she knew that the end-result of whatever sales output; is a by-
product of the company’s consolidated effort?
38. True enough, petitioner was a manager at that time, but he
was also a part of a team and respondent OCAMPO on the other hand was the
Head of the Product Development Department. Yet, what is apparent and
which the Honorable Public Respondent failed to take cognizance of is that
OCAMPO seemingly burdened petitioner ALONE with all these struggles
and pushed him to his limits in order to make him feel unwanted and
unworthy of continuing the service he was rendering for the company in more
than a decade;

347
 LEGAL FORMS

39. These feelings did not arise out of thin air, but the following
specifically identified circumstances established the oppressive working
environment for the petitioner, to wit –

39.1 After petitioner came back to work in April 2008,

without the slightest consideration to petitioner’s health
condition, OCAMPO told him that if he should suffer again a
major health problem, she will terminate his services; and
while he was still recovering from stroke, by the month of
December 2008, respondent issued Memorandum (Please
refer to Annex “D” – Annex “A” of Petitioner’s Position
Paper) directed against petitioner yet disguised as if
applicable and notice to all employees which provides:

“It is also advise (sic) to all sales personnel

to discipline your health, a sickly person
can’t be tolerated. The management
expects that all sales personnel should keep
their healthy body; a sick person is also
considering having a sick mind.”

39.2 That was just the beginning of Petitioner’s

predicament. By June 2011, after the company experienced
problems on sales, petitioner was solely blamed for the sales
output. He was pressured to the point that he was even held
for days in OCAMPO’s room where he anguished after
OCAMPO told him fabricated issues and alleged negative
comments coming from other employees;

39.3 The email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “F”

of Petitioner’s Position Paper) dated June 14, 2011 sent by
OCAMPO who urged him to explain the drop in sales when
she knew all along that the root cause of the problem was the
design she herself selected;

348
 LEGAL FORMS

39.4 The email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “G”

of Petitioner’s Position Paper) dated June 15, 2011 sent by
OCAMPO where she showed her personal grudge against
petitioner by declaring:

“AT THE END OF THE YEAR IF JTS

STILL NO IMPROVEMENT THAN (sic)
WE WILL RETIRE HIM”

39.5 The email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “H”

of Petitioner’s Position Paper) dated June 15, 2011 sent by
OCAMPO to everyone saying “ i have decided to lessen the
accounts of jts xxx” (referring to petitioner Jesus T Socorro);

39.6 On June 16, 2011, after pressuring him on the

product sales, OCAMPO verbally pressed on petitioner to
resign by telling him:

“JES MABUTI PA MAGRESIGN KA

NALANG. MAGPAHINGA KA NA.
BABAYARAN KA NAMIN NG
COMMISSION MO”

39.7 The email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “I”

of Petitioner’s Position Paper) dated June 16, 2011 sent by
OCAMPO inciting some of the employees to go against
petitioner in the following manner:

“x x x. Awaiting your opinions so will

forward to jts (Jesus T Socorro)/bom, thus
they will see it’s a committee who is
deciding.

349
 LEGAL FORMS

i’m empowering all of you so that you have

a voice that jts will also learn to work with
you and hindi parang boss dating niya.

AKO LANG ANG BOSING DITO HAHA”

40. All the foregoing incidents were capped by OCAMPO

personally seeing Petitioner on July 1, 2011 demanding his resignation;
41. As the company was experiencing low sales of slippers due to
poor designs adopted and selected by OCAMPO as head of the Product
Development Department, she could not bear the thought that her father
would blame her later for what the company has suffered. There is no
better escape goat and later on as sacrificial lamb but herein Petitioner.
OCAMPO knew what was coming. In order to save herself from her
father’s disappointment, she had to devise a way to pass all the blame to
petitioner. She had to do this so petitioner would be compelled to leave
the company before her father comes back from abroad. That is the reason
why OCAMPO had to resort to all these things for petitioner to feel
constrained in resigning from the company;

42. Clearly, the Honorable Public Respondent altogether ignored

the pieces of evidence presented showing the hostile and discriminatory
working environment which Petitioner had dealt with and which finally
culminated with OCAMPO’s demand for his resignation.

43. The Honorable Commission likewise erred in giving weight

to the text messages sent by OCAMPO to Petitioner telling him to wait YU’ s
return before submitting his resignation letter as evidence that Petitioner was
not compelled to resign;

44. The text messages do not prove the voluntariness of

resignation. If the content of the text message is examined, OCAMPO was
merely suggesting that Petitioner should defer his resignation until the arrival
of YU. The message suggests, however, that he still has to resign.
Whether or not Petitioner was compelled to resign is determined not
merely on the basis of a single isolated act or circumstance but the
totality of his conduct before, during, and after the resignation;

350
 LEGAL FORMS

45. At length, other than the self-serving allegations of

OCAMPO and the allegedly corroborative testimony of one of Respondent’s
employees, UNISPORT has not substantially discharged its burden of proving
that Petitioner’s resignation was voluntary. Petitioner was on the losing end in
this case for he has no access to the company records and has less influence
on the people that could testify on his defense. It is also for these reasons that
Petitioner meekly seeks the assistance of this Honorable Court to give him the
justice that he was unfairly deprived of. Petitioner is even of the opinion that
apparently the Public Respondents were guilty of DOUBLE STANDARD and
of being SELECTIVE in their discussion of the facts and arguments of both
parties;

46. Surely the decision to resign was that of Petitioner but this
was brought about by the antipathy he experienced from OCAMPO. It is
unmistakable that OCAMPO’s ill feeling revealed her ulterior motive to put
petitioner under extreme condition of a stressful environment which
compelled him to finally forego of his employment. Clearly the resignation
was never voluntary;

47. In an illegal dismissal case, the onus probandi still rests on

the employer to prove that the dismissal of an employee is for a valid cause.
Having based their defense on resignation, it is likewise incumbent upon
respondents, as employer, to prove that petitioner voluntarily resigned. From
the totality of circumstances and the evidence on record, it is clear that
Respondents failed to discharge this burden. In fact, even if the evidence
presented by the employer and the employee are in equipoise, the scales
of justice must be tilted in favor of the latter 34;

48. Unfortunately, the Honorable Public Respondent totally

ignored the facts and the evidence that were presented showing not only the
attendant hostile and discriminatory working environment of Petitioner but,
more so, the manner by which Respondent OCAMPO practically forced and
eventually compelled him to write the resignation letter;

Ompad, G.R. No. 159195, May 9, 2005.

351
 LEGAL FORMS

49. Article 4 of the Labor Code provides that all doubts in the
interpretation and implementation of the Labor Code should be interpreted in
favor of labor. The evidence that the Petitioner presented has shown serious
doubts on the merits of his employer’s case. The Supreme Court has held that
in such contest of evidence, Article 4 should operate in favor of the
employee.35 To Petitioner’s disappointment however, this principle was
disregarded by the Honorable Public Respondent at the expense of Petitioner.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, in the light of the foregoing, it is most respectfully

prayed of this Honorable Court of Appeals, that the Petition be given due
course, and that the assailed NLRC Decision dated 31 May 2012, dismissing
Petitioner‘s Appeal and the NLRC Resolution dated 23 July 2012, denying
petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration, be set aside.

Praying for such other reliefs as may be just and equitable under the
premises.

NATURE AND TIMELINES OF THE PETITION

A. NATURE

This is a special civil action for Certiorari under Rule 65 of the Rules
of Court seeking the review and annulment of the Decision36 of the Third
Division Honorable National Labor Relations Commission (thereafter referred
to as NLRC or Commission for brevity) dated 31 May 2012 in NLRC LAC
Case No. 03-001067-12 affirming the Decision37 of Labor Arbiter Romelita
N. Rioflorido in NLRC RAB No. 07-11054-11 dated 23 February 2012; and
the Resolution38 of the NLRC dated 23 July 2012 denying petitioner’s Motion
for Reconsideration dated 5 July 2012.

Petitioner assails the aforesaid Decision of the Honorable

Commission affirming the earlier decision of the Honorable Labor Arbiter, as
well as its Resolution on the Motion for Reconsideration for having been
rendered not in accordance with law and with grave abuse of discretion,
amounting to lack and/or excess of jurisdiction, correctible only by a writ of
Certiorari.

Petitioner likewise maintains that it has no plain, speedy and adequate

remedy in the ordinary course of law, other than this Petition.

III

STATEMENT OF ESTABLISHED FACTS AND THE CASE

As can be culled from the records, the facts of the case may be
capsulized into the following:

12. SOCORRO initially started working for UNISPORT in

September 1998 with Bradgate Marketing Corporation, the then marketing
arm of UNISPORT. YU, the company president offered him to work under
its sales department. As the company then was experiencing trouble in
marketing and selling their REVA products (slippers), petitioner organized
and developed measures to promote and increase the sales of UNISPORT;

13. Considering that the marketing arm of UNISPORT only

started in July 1998 and SOCORRO was engaged only two (2) months after
as sales manager, he performed the following activities to strengthen the
marketing office with the end in view of increasing its sales, to wit:

a) He systematized Customer Lists nationwide;

f) He formatted several sales document needed to process Sales
Order;

361
 LEGAL FORMS

g) Initially, he was also involved in the Production, Costing,

Distribution, Collection and Merchandising of the Product;
h) He established Planning and Marketing Strategies and Sales
Program to boost Input Orders from customers;
i) He was also responsible for training OCAMPO, the daughter
of the President and also the Vice President of UNISPORT.
He introduced her to various long-time clients and
storeowners alike to have her familiarize with UNISPORT’s
prospective customers;

53. All the efforts exerted by the SOCORRO paid off.

UNISPORT’s Reva Brand was able to establish a niche of its own in the
entire Philippine market - Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao;

54. In November 2007, although SOCORRO had already

reached his sales quota for that year-end, respondent OCAMPO sought
additional sales of THREE MILLION PESOS (P3 Million) in the Visayas
area. With tremendous pressure from OCAMPO, SOCORRO proceeded
to Visayas and tried to further increase the company’s sales output. This
was in spite of the fact that it was nearing December and it was difficult to get
orders at that time since most of the products by then should have already
been out in the stores;

55. Because of too much work and untold stress brought

about by the additional sales demand, SOCORRO suffered a stroke on
December 10, 2007, not long after he arrived from various provinces in
the Visayas. For this reason he had to be confined in the hospital for 13 days.
However, because of financial constraints, the doctors allowed him to just
take a rest in his house and prohibited him from engaging in any stressful
activity;

56. After months of rest, SOCORRO reported back for work in

April 2008. At this point, without due regard to SOCORRO’s health
condition, OCAMPO told him that if he should suffer again a major health
problem, she will terminate his services;

57. On December 11, 2008, YU, issued a Memorandum (Please

refer to Annex “D” – Annex “A” of petitioner’s Position Paper) which
provides, among others, the requirement of increase in Sales Quota for 2009,
2010 and 2011. The issuance indicated that while the sales quota was

362
 LEGAL FORMS

increased the commission was reduced. It was also frustrating that the
memorandum specifically targeted SOCORRO in the following manner-

“It is also advise (sic) to all sales personnel

to discipline your health, a sickly person
can’t be tolerated. The management
expects that all sales personnel should keep
their healthy body; a sick person is also
considering having a sick mind.”

58. By year 2010 up to the early part of 2011, there were drastic
drop in the sales of products. The Product Development headed by
OCAMPO, placed her orders in China without considering the position
of the Sales Department on the product category and style. What
OCAMPO did was merely to circulate to the sales department the image of
the products which have already been placed in order, only FOR NOTICE.
As a result, there was a high rejection rate from clients, high inventory in the
warehouses and negative comments from dealers. This fact was supported by
several correspondences from UNISPORT’s customers and also from its very
own managers. The problem with the declining sales of the REVA
product was not because of the sales managers’ inefficiency but because
of the very style of the product being introduced by the product
development department, headed by OCAMPO herself. However, despite
the obvious reasons why clients were backing off from placing their orders,
OCAMPO blamed SOCORRO on the reduction of sales;

59. During the second week of May 2011, a Memorandum was

issued announcing the transfer of each Department to another location.
OCAMPO ordered that the air conditioning unit at SOCORRO’s room
dismantled, including the cabinet, sofa and the glass partition of the
room. What was more awful was that it was only SOCORRO’s air-con
unit that was pulled out while the rest of the rooms maintained their
units. To make matters worse, the period of transfer was extended up to June
30, 2011. The motive behind the intentional pull-out of the air-con unit
was undoubtedly clear - to make the working environment of SOCORRO
more unbearable;

363
 LEGAL FORMS

60. As early as April to May 2011 the designs of the products

affected the decrease in sales. This was evidenced by emails (Please refer to
Annex “D” – Annexes “B” and “C” of petitioner’s Position Paper) sent by
other managers of UNISPORT, indicating the problem with the products’
styles. Even in the latter days of SOCORRO’s service with UNISPORT, in
an email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “D” of petitioner’s Position
Paper) sent on June 13, 2011 by Donna Sia, Merchandising Manager of
Gaisano Capital Group (client of UNISPORT), she expressed her problem
with the designs of the slippers and that she cannot force her buyers to order.
This was well within the knowledge of OCAMPO because as early as October
2010, OCAMPO sent an email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “E” of
petitioner’s Position Paper) to the managers telling them the problem. It bears
stating at this point that the Product Development Department headed by
OCAMPO is the one responsible in the selection of the product styles and
designs;

61. OCAMPO did not stop pressuring SOCORRO. In fact,

for four (4) straight days from June 14-17, 2011, SOCORRO was
quarantined inside Ocampo’s office every time he came in for work. She
incessantly accused him of being answerable for the declining sales
output. OCAMPO blamed SOCORRO for the low sales in spite of the fact
that she was well aware that the very problem was the designs of the product
she selected;

62. On June 14, 2011, in another email (Please refer to Annex

“D” – Annex “F” of petitioner’s Position Paper) sent by OCAMPO to
SOCORRO, she again faulted him on the reduced sales booking. OCAMPO
never stopped pressuring and torturing him of the problem she herself created.
In fact, again on June 15, 2011, in an email (Please refer to Annex “D” –
Annex “G” of petitioner’s Position Paper) she again manifested her ill-will
and personal resentment against HIM. OCAMPO even threatened him that
she will retire him, thus:

“6.) AT THE END OF THE YEAR IF JTS

STILL NO IMPROVEMENT THAN (sic)
WE WILL RETIRE HIM”

364
 LEGAL FORMS

63. On that same day, OCAMPO removed from SOCORRO

several accounts he was then handling thereby further diminishing his
duties as sales manager and depriving him of possible commissions for
the lost accounts. This was evidenced by an email (Please refer to Annex
“D” – Annex “H” of petitioner’s Position Paper) she sent to other employees.
This was undertaken without the knowledge of SOCORRO;

64. Not long thereafter or on June 16, 2011, OCAMPO

summoned SOCORRO to her office. She relentlessly pressured him again on
the product sales. At this point, she casually but firmly told him –

“JES MABUTI PA MAG RESIGN KA NA

LANG. MAGPAHINGA KA NA.
BABAYARAN KA NALANG NAMIN NG
COMMISSION MO”

65. On the following day, June 17, OCAMPO told SOCORRO to

just go home when he reported for work. OCAMPO’s grudge against him
was shown in the email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “I” of
petitioner’s Position Paper) she sent to the staff on the same day, instigating
them to come together and pressure SOCORRO, thus:

“x x x. Awaiting your opinions so will

forward to jts (Jesus T Socorro)/bom, thus
they will see it’s a committee who is
deciding.

i’m empowering all of you so that you have

a voice that jts will also learn to work with
you and hindi parang boss dating niya.

AKO LANG ANG BOSING DITO HAHA”

(emphasis and underscoring supplied)

66. By June 21, 2011 when SOCORRO reported back to work,

Efren Granada, the Manager of the Human Resource Department and
Warehouse Division, called his attention and showed him a copy of the
directive issued by OCAMPO in her own handwriting, directing him to
compute SOCORRO’s accrued benefits. When SOCORRO saw this, he was

365
 LEGAL FORMS

so overwhelmed with emotions that he thought that OCAMPO was really

serious in terminating his employment. SOCORRO felt at a loss,
unwanted, and despised by OCAMPO because of the torture and never
ending accusations of dismal performance. All these put a huge toll upon him
that he was eventually forced to just leave his work;

67. SOCORRO was instructed by Efren Granada of HRD to sign

a Quitclaim, but he refused until he sees the computation and receives all his
unclaimed salaries and commission. When he went back to the office on July
1, 2011 OCAMPO went to his room and directed him that he has to make a
Resignation Letter (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “J” of petitioner’s
Position Paper) first so that the Accounting Department can proceed with the
computation of his receivables. The resignation letter was written under the
direction of OCAMPO who dictated the matters to be written thereon;

68. It will have to be emphasized in here that the resignation

letter of SOCORRO was originally dated July 1, 2011, the day he went to the
office. However, as appearing at the latter portion of the letter, the effectivity
of said resignation was changed to June 30, 2011. This was written under
no less than the strict direction of OCAMPO;

69. SOCORRO went back on July 15, 2011 to follow up on his

unpaid salaries and commissions. To his dismay, upon checking with the
accounting, he was informed that NO COMPUTATION was ever made;

70. SOCORRO was coerced to resign because of the anxiety and

the myriad of problems and burden imposed upon him by OCAMPO. He was
not only forced but also deceived into making a resignation letter under the
pretext that he will be promptly given his commission and overdue salary
which up to now remains unpaid;

71. Due to the foregoing, SOCORRO filed this instant action for
illegal dismissal before the Office of the Labor Arbiter on July 19, 2011.

72. For failure to amicably settle, the parties were directed to

submit their respective position paper. Thereafter, the parties were also given
the opportunity to submit their respective reply, and rejoinder, afterwards, the
Labor Arbiter rendered the instant decision dated February 23, 2012;

366
 LEGAL FORMS

73. The Labor Arbiter resolved the case in favor of the

Respondents on the basis of the opinion that SOCORRO was not forced to
resign, thus he was not illegally constructively dismissed. Hence, SOCORRO
appealed the case to the NLRC which decided in favor of the respondents.
SOCORRO’S Motion for Reconsideration was likewise denied. Hence, this
petition,

IV

GROUNDS FOR THE ALLOWANCE OF THE PETITION

1. Public respondent NLRC gravely abused its discretion in

affirming the Decision of the Honorable Labor Arbiter in finding that
Petitioner was not constructively dismissed.

2. Public respondent NLRC gravely abused its discretion in denying

petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration without clearly and distinctly
explaining the reason for its denial.

367
 LEGAL FORMS

ARGUMENTS AND DISCUSSION

The NLRC erred in ruling

that the

Resignation was
Voluntary.

34. Resignation is a formal pronouncement or relinquishment of

an office, with the intention of relinquishing the office accompanied by the act
of relinquishment. As the intent to relinquish must concur with the overt act
of relinquishment, the acts of the employee before and after the alleged
resignation must be considered in determining whether, in fact, he intended to
sever his employment (BMG Records (Phils.), Inc. v. Aparecio, G.R. No.
153290, September 5, 2007);

35. In this case, the overt acts of SOCORRO before and after the
alleged resignation do not show his intention to sever his employment. What
strongly negates the claim of resignation is the subsequent filing of complaint
for constructive dismissal;

36. Resignation is inconsistent with the filing of the complaint for

illegal dismissal (Blue Angel Manpower and Security Services, Inc. v. Court
of Appeals, G.R. No. 161196, July 28, 2008). It would have been illogical for
petitioner to resign and then file a complaint for illegal dismissal later on
(Fungo v. Lourdes School of Mandaluyong, G.R. No. 152531, July 27, 2007).

368
 LEGAL FORMS

If SOCORRO was determined to resign he would not have filed the complaint
for illegal dismissal;

37. The circumstances surrounding petitioner’s resignation must

also be taken into consideration to determine whether the resignation was
voluntary:

37.1 May we invite the attention of this Honorable Court to

the series of emails46 sent by OCAMPO to several
employees of UNISPORT which shows her hostility and
antagonism towards SOCORRO;

37.2 OCAMPO, with lack of respect and courtesy, likewise

removed several accounts from SOCORRO thereby
diminishing his duties as sales manager, without his
knowledge. This is evidenced by an email that OCAMPO
sent to her employees;

37.3 On June 17, 2011, OCAMPO told the SOCORRO to just

go home when he reported for work. On June 21, 2011,
Efren Granada (Granada), the Manager of the Human
Resource Department and Warehouse Division, called his
attention and showed him a copy of the directive issued
by OCAMPO, in her own handwriting, directing Granada
to compute SOCORRO’S accrued benefits. When
SOCORRO saw this, he was overwhelmed with emotions
that he thought OCAMPO was serious in having his
employment terminated;

37.4 He was subsequently ordered by Granada to sign a

quitclaim but petitioner refused;

37.5 On July 1, 2011, OCAMPO went to SOCORRO’s room

and directed him to make a resignation letter first so the
Accounting Department can start the computation of his

46
Please refer to Annex “D” – Petitioner’s Position Paper (See Annexes “G”,
“H”, and “I”).

369
 LEGAL FORMS

receivables. Hopeless and downhearted, SOCORRO was

emotionally compelled to write a resignation letter. To
make the situation worse, he wrote it in front of his boss
who dictated the matters which he must write in his
resignation letter.

38. In an illegal dismissal case, the onus probandi rests on the

employer to prove that the dismissal of an employee is for a valid cause.
Having based their defense on resignation, it is likewise incumbent upon
respondents, as employer, to prove that petitioner voluntarily resigned.
From the totality of circumstances and the evidence on record, it is clear that
respondents failed to discharge this burden. In fact, even if the evidence
presented by the employer and the employee are in equipoise, the scales of
justice must be tilted in favor of the latter47;

39. We believe that the respondents were not able to discharge

this burden. The voluntariness of the resignation must not only be assessed
on the basis solely of a handwritten resignation letter and its wordings
but also on the circumstances and reasons why it was written;

40. Unfortunately, the Honorable Commission totally ignored the

facts and the evidence that were presented showing not only the attendant
hostile and discriminatory working environment of petitioner but, more so,
the manner by which respondent OCAMPO practically forced and eventually
compelled the complainant to write the resignation letter;

41. The Honorable Commission agreed with the Honorable Labor

Arbiter that the return by SOCORRO of his laptop, cellphones, calculator,
stapler and company car assigned to him was an indication of the voluntary
nature of his resignation. We beg to disagree. Petitioner had to return the
issued laptop and mobile phones considering that these things were not his but

2011 citing Mobile Protective & Detective Agency v. Ompad,  G.R. No.

370
 LEGAL FORMS

that of the company. Not only that there is no reason for him to withhold
them, he was also afraid that his continued possession of these company
supplies might be used against him;

42. The denial made by Granada who allegedly saw SOCORRO

writing his resignation letter by himself was bereft of merit. This allegation
was specifically denied by petitioner. During the entire time SOCORRO was
writing his resignation letter, the only one present was OCAMPO who
directed and checked the contents written in his letter. Granada was nowhere
in the room when OCAMPO ordered SOCORRO to write the letter.
Assuming without admitting that he saw SOCORRO writing a letter, how
could he have known that what SOCORRO was writing was his resignation
letter. Granada had no personal knowledge on the circumstances surrounding
the incident when SOCORRO wrote such letter under the dictates of
OCAMPO, thus, his statements are not only incompetent but also totally
untrue;

The NLRC erred in ruling that this was

Not a case of constructive dismissal

43. Clearly, this is a case of constructive dismissal. Constructive

dismissal does not always involve forthright dismissal or diminution in rank,
compensation, benefit and privileges. There may be constructive dismissal if
an act of clear discrimination, insensibility or ‘disdain by an employer
becomes so unbearable on the part or the employee that it could foreclose any
choice by him except to forego his continued employment;

44. Constructive dismissal is defined as quitting when continued

employment is rendered impossible, unreasonable or unlikely as the offer of
employment involves a demotion in rank or diminution in pay (New Ever
Marketing, Inc. v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 140555, July 14, 2005);

371
 LEGAL FORMS

45. It exists when the resignation on the part of the employee was
involuntary due to the harsh, hostile and unfavorable conditions set by the
employer. It is brought about by the clear discrimination, insensibility or
disdain shown by an employer which becomes unbearable to the employee.
An employee who is forced to surrender his position through the employer's
unfair or unreasonable acts is deemed to have been illegally terminated and
such termination is deemed to be involuntary (Aguilar v. Burger Machine
Holdings Corporation, G.R. No. 172062, October 30, 2006);

46. The Honorable Commission allegedly found an “apparent

voluntariness of writing the resignation personally without any duress and
which showed no force employed in its execution”. It must be pointed out
however that while there may not be actual physical force or even threat
employed by respondents which eventually lead petitioner to write the
resignation letter, the conditions then existing should have been considered in
their totality in ascertaining whether petitioner’s resignation was voluntary or
that he was merely compelled to resign and write a letter in such manner and
tenor;

47. What prompted SOCORRO to resign were not only the

unreasonable acts and unfair treatment he suffered in the hands of OCAMPO
and other colleagues but the dictate of no less than his boss OCAMPO that he
should resign. The Honorable Commission failed to consider the evidence that
were presented in support of this claim. It overlooked the fact that on several
instances, OCAMPO through emails expressed her desire to end the
employment of SOCORRO and this desire was VERBALIZED and
practically DICTATED to the hapless employee first on June 16, 2011 and
finally on July 1, 2011 when OCAMPO went to see SOCORRO in his room;

48. It is notable likewise that while the company at that time may
have been experiencing problems on the sales of its slipper products due to
poor designs, it was respondent OCAMPO herself who heads the Product
Development Department and who is responsible for the selection and
product styles. Why would OCAMPO solely blame petitioner for low turn-out
of sales when she knew that the end-result of whatever sales output; is a by-
product of the company’s consolidated effort?

372
 LEGAL FORMS

49. True enough, petitioner was a manager at that time, but he

was also a part of a team and respondent OCAMPO on the other hand was the
Head of the Product Development Department. Yet, what is apparent and
which the Honorable Commission failed to take cognizance of is that
OCAMPO seemingly burdened petitioner ALONE with all these struggles
and pushed him to his limits in order to make him feel unwanted and
unworthy of continuing the service he was rendering for the company in more
than a decade;

50. These feelings did not arise out of thin air, but the following
specifically identified circumstances established the oppressive working
environment for the petitioner, to wit -

50.1 After petitioner came back to work in April 2008, without

the slightest consideration to petitioner’s health
condition, OCAMPO told him that if he should suffer
again a major health problem, she will terminate his
services; and while he was still recovering from stroke,
by the month of December 2008, respondent issued
Memorandum (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “A”
of petitioner’s Position Paper) directed against petitioner
yet disguised as if applicable and notice to all employees
which provides:
“It is also advise (sic) to all sales personnel
to discipline your health, a sickly person
can’t be tolerated. The management
expects that all sales personnel should keep
their healthy body; a sick person is also
considering having a sick mind.”

373
 LEGAL FORMS

50.2 That was just the beginning of petitioner’s predicament.

By June 2011, after the company experienced problems
on sales, petitioner was solely blamed on the sales output.
He was pressured to the point that he was even held for
days in OCAMPO’s room where he anguished after
OCAMPO told him fabricated issues and alleged
negative comments coming from other employees;

50.3 The email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “F” of

petitioner’s Position Paper) dated June 14, 2011 sent by
OCAMPO who urged him to explain the drop in sales
when she knew all along that the root cause of the
problem was the design she herself selected;

50.4 The email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “G” of

petitioner’s Position Paper) dated June 15, 2011 sent by
OCAMPO where she showed her personal grudge against
petitioner by declaring:

“AT THE END OF THE YEAR IF JTS STILL

NO IMPROVEMENT THAN (sic) WE WILL
RETIRE HIM”

50.5 The email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “H” of

petitioner’s Position Paper) dated June 15, 2011 sent by
OCAMPO to everyone saying “ i have decided to lessen
the accounts of jts xxx” (referring to petitioner Jesus T
Socorro);

50.6 On June 16, 2011, after pressuring him on the product

sales, OCAMPO verbally pressed on petitioner to resign
by telling him:

374
 LEGAL FORMS

“JES MABUTI PA MAGRESIGN KA

NALANG. MAGPAHINGA KA NA.
BABAYARAN KA NAMIN NG COMMISSION
MO”

50.7 The email (Please refer to Annex “D” – Annex “I” of

petitioner’s Position Paper) dated June 16, 2011 sent by
OCAMPO inciting some of the employees to go against
petitioner in the following manner:

“x x x. Awaiting your opinions so will

forward to jts (Jesus T Socorro)/bom, thus
they will see it’s a committee who is deciding.

i’m empowering all of you so that you have a

voice that jts will also learn to work with you
and hindi parang boss dating niya.

AKO LANG ANG BOSING DITO HAHA”

51. All the foregoing incidents were capped by OCAMPO

personally seeing SOCORRO on July 1, 2011 demanding his resignation.
The worst part is that OCAMPO did not even bother to pay SOCORRO
the unpaid commissions which she dangled as promise for the employee’s
resignation. Is this not the height of injustice against a worker who
faithfully served his employers with the best years of his life?

52. As the company was experiencing low sales of slippers due to

poor designs adopted and selected by OCAMPO as head of the Product
Development Department, she could not bear the thought that her father
would blame her later for what the company has suffered. The easy prey to
target is no less than petitioner. OCAMPO knew what was coming. In order to
save herself from her father’s disappointment, she had to devise a way to pass
all the blame to petitioner. She had to do this so petitioner would be
compelled to leave the company before her father comes back from abroad.

375
 LEGAL FORMS

That is the reason why OCAMPO had to resort to all these things for
petitioner to feel constrained in resigning from the company;

53. Clearly, the Honorable Commission altogether ignored the

pieces of evidence presented showing the hostile and discriminatory working
environment which petitioner had to deal with and which finally culminated
with OCAMPO’s demand for his resignation. Moreover, although the words
of gratitude may have been expressed in petitioner’s resignation letter, it is
our humble submission nonetheless that this alone should not be taken on
its own without concomitantly considering the events which transpired
before, during and after its preparation;

54. Beyond that, why would such an act of appreciation toward

the company which petitioner has helped established and eventually came to
love for 13 years, be taken against petitioner? Petitioner would not deny that
he was grateful for having become a part of UNISPORT. And true enough his
love for the company is declared in his letter. But it should not be
overlooked that the incidents that steered him to resolve in resigning and
to write the letter of resignation was due to OCAMPO’s unfair
treatment, hatred, and clear disdain against him. Sadly, this was never
seen nor considered by the Honorable Commission;

55. The Honorable Commission even affirmed the Labor

Arbiter’s conclusion “that what respondent did was normal for those who
supervised a marketing unit and that petitioner should not have felt bad about
them she being his trainee and that allegedly all petitioner had to do was to
thresh out the differences and make the adjustments if necessary.” This
conclusion we believe however was arrived in light of misplaced reflection
and evaluation of facts;

56. To begin with, during the time material to this case,

OCAMPO was no longer a trainee but the Vice President and Head of
the Product Development Department of UNISPORT. She not only has the
authority and power; she also has the capacity to influence the minds of

petitioner’s co-employees and even directly tell them to go against petitioner.

In fact OCAMPO admitted it herself when she said in her June 16, 2011 email
–

“i’m empowering all of you so that you have a voice so that jts will
also learn to work with you and hindi parang bosing dating nya.
AKO LANG ANG BOSING DITO HAHA”;

57. The Honorable Commission together with the Labor

Arbiter mistakenly assumed that petitioner could have opted to thresh
out their differences. Under what circumstances could petitioner be
expected to just settle whatever differences he and OCAMPO had when
as early as June 16, 2011, OCAMPO already manifested her plan of
terminating petitioner by retiring him?

58. The Honorable Commission likewise erred in giving weight

to the text messages sent by OCAMPO to SOCORRO telling him to wait YU’
s return before submitting his resignation letter as evidence that SOCORRO
was not compelled to resign. The text messages do not prove the voluntariness
of SOCORRO’s resignation. If the content of the text message is examined,
OCAMPO was merely suggesting that SOCORRO should defer his
resignation until the arrival of YU. The message suggests, however, that he
still has to resign. Whether or not SOCORRO was compelled to resign is
determined not merely on the basis of a single isolated act or circumstance but
the totality of his conduct before, during, and after the resignation;

59. While it is true that the SOCORRO “is not an unlettered and
gullible individual who can be easily cajoled or forced to resign”, yet he is
also a human being whose sensitivity to hostility and antagonism could not be
doubted. The complainant here spent thirteen (13) years of his life with a
company that he helped build. It was his dream to place the brand REVA in
the map of sporting world - a dream and promise which he successfully
fulfilled. How would a man who helped improve the REVA brand feel when
the company that he holds dearly to his heart treat him with such resentment?

60. Surely, a man whose feelings have been wounded and bruised
would be felt compelled to write such resignation letter. It might be true that
the decision to resign was that of petitioner but the antipathy he experienced
from OCAMPO forced him to do so and left him with no choice but to leave
UNISPORT. And it is unmistakable that OCAMPO’s ill feeling revealed her
ulterior motive to put petitioner under extreme condition of a stressful
environment which compelled petitioner to finally forego of his employment.

61. At length, other than the self-serving allegations of

OCAMPO and the allegedly corroborative testimony of one of its employees,
UNISPORT have not substantially discharged its burden of proving that
SOCORRO’s resignation was voluntary. SOCORRO was on the losing end in
this case for he has no access to the company records and has less influence
on the people that could testify in his defense. It is also for these reasons that
petitioner meekly seeks the assistance of this Honorable Tribunal to give him
the justice which he was unfairly deprived;

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, in the light of the foregoing, it is most respectfully

prayed of this Honorable Court that the instant Petition be given due course,
and that the assailed Labor Arbiter’s Decision dated 23 February 2012, the
NLRC Decision dated 31 May 2012, dismissing SOCORRO’S Appeal and the
NLRC Decision dated 23 July 2012, denying SOCORRO’S Motion for
Reconsideration, be set aside.

Praying for such other reliefs as may be just and equitable under the
premises.
