3/6/2020 G.R. No. 121348 March 9, 2000 - ANGELITO P. DELES v. NLRC, ET AL. : March 2000 - Philipppine Supreme Court Decisions

This special civil action for certiorari seeks to annul the


decision promulgated on April 21, 1995, by public
respondent in NLRC NCR Case No. 00-04-02733-93
and its resolution dated May 31, 1995 which denied
petitioner’s motion for reconsideration. chanrobles virtua| |aw |ibrary

Respondent company operates a pipeline system which


transports petroleum products from the refineries by
Caltex (Phil.) Inc. and Shell (Phil.) Inc. in Batangas to
terminal receiving facilities in Metro Manila. Petitioner
was employed by respondent company as shift
supervisor. He was assigned at its joint terminal facility
in Pandacan, Manila, where he was the highest ranking
officer at the terminal during his shift. His primary task
was to oversee the entire pipeline operation in the
terminal. Admittedly, he was a member of the
management team. 1

On the night of March 19, 1993, petitioner was the


shift supervisor on duty while Eduardo Yumul and
Leonardo Espejon were the assigned shift operator and
gauger, respectively. During this shift, there was a
scheduled delivery for Shell through respondent
company’s pipeline of about 3,000 barrels of kerosene
(KE), to be followed by a delivery of aviation turbine
fuel (AV). Forthwith, petitioner instructed his chief
operator (Yumul) to effect a batch change 2 from the

forestry jobs kerosene tank to the aviation fuel tank when the joint
terminal facility turbine meter registers 2,944 barrels
labor board of kerosene delivered. Apparently, Yumul failed to
execute correctly petitioner’s order. Instead of effecting
civil cases
the batch change at the prescribed reading of 2,944
barrels, Yumul caused the batch change when the
cases law o ce
reading already reached 3,341 barrels. Thus, about
gr case 397 barrels of the succeeding batch of aviation turbine
fuel went to the kerosene batch thereby downgrading
the former.

When informed of the incident, respondent company


required petitioner to explain why he should not be
charged administratively for neglect of duty in view of

his failure: (a) to witness the actual batch change

change checklist was prepared and followed, and; (c)
business lawyer to see to it that a batch change report was prepared.
Concomitantly, petitioner was placed under preventive

suspension pending the outcome of the investigation.
Similarly, Yumul and Espejon were asked to explain for

having been remiss in their duties.
labor board
On March 30, 1993, respondent company conducted a
joint formal investigation of the cases of the three

shell jobs aforementioned personnel. The next day, respondent


company found petitioner, Yumul and Espejon guilty as
supreme court charged. Accordingly, private respondent Flaviano
Santos, respondent company’s assistant vice president,
pipe line
informed petitioner that he was found to have violated
the section on Neglect of Duty of respondent
3 court cases
company’s Code of Discipline and for this violation he
business lawyer was meted the penalty of three (3) months
suspension. For their part, Yumul was meted the
penalty of dismissal while Espejon was suspended for
one and a half months.
March-2000
Jurisprudence Believing that suspension for three months was too
harsh, petitioner sought reconsideration of the penalty
imposed. Subsequently, he filed a complaint before the
G.R. No. 104930 NLRC, questioning the legality of his suspension.
March 1, 2000 -
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. While petitioner was under suspension, respondent
v. ALEX K BELLO, ET company received reports that petitioner allowed the
AL. entry of two "bar girls" at the terminal at an unholy
hour (4:00 A.M.) on February 23, 1993. This belied
G.R. No. 111928 petitioner’s previous claim that the two female visitors
March 1, 2000 - are his relatives. Thus, respondent company required
ALMARIO SIAPIAN v. petitioner to explain in writing why he should not be
COURT OF APPEALS, held liable for: (1) neglect of duty as he allowed
ET AL. unauthorized persons in a restricted area, and; (2)
dishonesty as he misrepresented to management that
G.R. No. 116464 the two women are his relatives. Unfortunately,
March 1, 2000 - petitioner failed to submit his written explanation.
Nonetheless, respondent company conducted a formal

RODENTO NAVARRO, inquiry on the matter which was attended by petitioner.


ET AL v. NLRC, ET AL.
During the aforesaid proceeding, it was discovered that
G.R. No. 117691 petitioner tampered with the automatic shutdown
March 1, 2000 - feature of Gravitometer No. 5 at the terminal on March
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. 19, 1993. Likewise, respondent company learned that
v. EDUARDO B. petitioner opened the terminal’s motor operated valve
SAMPIOR (MOV #10) between 6:00 A.M. and 6:35 A.M. on said
date which caused the gravitation of the contents of
G.R. Nos. 119958- Shell kerosene tank to aviation fuel tank.
62 March 1, 2000 -
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. The abovementioned gravitometer is equipped with a
v. ALEJANDRO safety feature which triggers the automatic closure of
MARQUITA, ET AL. the joint terminal facility pressure control valve which
in turn cause a shutdown of the pipeline operations. It
G.R. No. 124895 prevents the entry of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or
March 1, 2000 - a product mixture containing LPG, through the motor
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. operated valve and onwards to the other product tanks
v. RUBEN DE LOS such as gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel and diesel fuel.
REYES Hence, by disabling the automatic shutdown feature of
said gravitometer, LPG could pass through the line to
G.R. No. 134286 the gasoline tank undetected, and since the gasoline
March 1, 2000 - tank is not designed to accommodate LPG, the
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. possibility of an explosion is enhanced. 3
v. LORETO AMBAN
In view of these newly unearthed violations,
respondent company again asked petitioner to explain
Adm. Matter No. why he should not be administratively sanctioned for:
MTJ-99-1184 March (1) tampering with an operating equipment (MOV#10),
2, 2000 - AMPARO S. and; (2) tampering with the installation of a safety
FARRALES, ET AL. v. device of gravitometer. Consequently, petitioner was
RUBY B. CAMARISTA placed under preventive suspension effective June 24,
1993, pending the outcome of the probe on the latest
A.M. No. RTJ-99- charges against him. Meanwhile, on July 24, 1993,
1454 March 2, 2000 - petitioner was reinstated in the payroll. 4
NESCITO C. HILARIO
v. CRISANTO C. After conducting formal investigation, respondent
CONCEPCION company terminated the employment of petitioner. The
termination letter reads: chanrobles.com.ph:red

G.R. No. 128360 Potenciano Cañizares, Jr., dismissed petitioner’s
March 2, 2000 - complaint for lack of merit. On appeal, the NLRC
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. upheld the labor arbiter’s finding that petitioner’s

disciplinary measure. The labor tribunal also ruled that

HERMAN REY
SANTOS v. COURT OF The issue for resolution now is whether or not public
APPEALS, ET AL. respondent committed grave abuse of discretion in
affirming the decision of the labor arbiter finding that
G.R. No. 110899 petitioner’s suspension is legal and that his dismissal is
March 7, 2000 - for valid and just cause on account of loss of
ELIZARDO D. DITCHE confidence.
v. COURT OF
APPEALS, ET AL. First, regarding the legality of petitioner’s suspension,
we note that petitioner was found remiss in his duties
G.R. No. 115192 in connection with the wrong batch change operation
March 7, 2000 - on March 19, 1993. He contends though that his
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. suspension for three months is too harsh, whimsical
v. ELMER D. SALAS and biased. 9 In essence, he decries the penalty
imposed on him which he considered too severe.
G.R. No. 128046
March 7, 2000 - However, petitioner loses sight of the fact that the right
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. of an employer to regulate all aspects of employment
v. RAMON CHUA UY is well settled. This right, aptly called management
prerogative, gives employers the freedom to regulate,
G.R. No. 128102 according to their discretion and best judgment, all
March 7, 2000 - aspects of employment, including work assignment,
AZNAR BROTHERS working methods, processes to be followed, working
REALTY COMPANY v. regulations, transfer of employees, work supervision,
COURT OF APPEALS, lay-off of workers and the discipline, dismissal and
ET AL. recall of workers. 10 In general, management has the
prerogative to discipline its employees and to impose
G.R. No. 129644 appropriate penalties on erring workers pursuant to
March 7, 2000 - company rules and regulations. Thus, we find
CHINA BANKING petitioner’s protestation unfounded. For, based on the
CORP. v. COURT OF record, respondent company imposed said penalty
APPEALS, ET AL. pursuant to the Company Code of Discipline which the
labor agencies find to be fair and in accordance with
G.R. No. 138291 law. In fact, the penalty for violating the provision on

SEBASTIAN v. are constrained to agree that the penalty of suspension

appropriate as well as legally unassailable. chanrobles virtua| |aw |ibrary

A.M. No. 96-1-25-


RTC March 8, 2000 - Next, petitioner challenges the legality of his dismissal
REPORT ON THE from the service. He insists that respondent company
FINANCIAL AUDIT IN has no ground to lose trust and confidence on him to
RTC justify his dismissal. He vehemently denies tampering
with the gravitometer, much less admitting doing it. He
A.M. No. RTJ-99- also avers that it is inconceivable for him to do so since
1446 March 9, 2000 - he was with his co-workers, Noel Valle and Edgardo
CONCERNED Yumul, at the time of said incident. Further, he claims
EMPLOYEES OF THE that there is no reason for him to commit such
RTC OF DAGUPAN transgression. 12
CITY v. ERNA
FALLORAN-ALIPOSA On its face, petitioner’s contention would require the
Court to delve into the findings of fact a quo. This we
G.R. No. 111174 cannot do. In the review of NLRC decisions through a
March 9, 2000 - special civil action for certiorari, we are confined only
REPUBLIC OF THE to issues of want of jurisdiction and grave abuse of
PHIL. v. BERNARDO discretion on the part of the labor tribunal. We are
V. SALUDARES, ET precluded from inquiring unto the correctness of the

tribunal’s conclusion on matters of fact. Nor could we
G.R. No. 111806 re-examine the evidence, re-evaluate the credibility of
March 9, 2000 - the witnesses, nor substitute our findings of fact for
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. those of an administrative body which has the
v. BENJAMIN G. authority and expertise in its specialized field.
GALANO, ET AL. Arguably, there may even be an error in judgment.
This however is not within the ambit of the

facts by giving the parties ample opportunity to

COURT OF APPEALS, present evidence. After both parties were heard, they
ET AL. filed their respective affidavits, position papers and
memoranda. In our view, the labor arbiter properly
G.R. Nos. 116044- found that despite considering these documentary
45 March 9, 2000 - evidence, averments of Flaviano Santos in his affidavit
AMERICAN AIRLINES indicting petitioner for tampering with the gravitometer

APPEALS, ET AL. ground. Further, petitioner did not quite succeed to
convince the respondent NLRC to rule otherwise.
G.R. Nos. 116084-
85 March 9, 2000 - Now, it must be emphasized that loss of trust and
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. confidence constitutes a valid ground for dismissing an
v. DAMASO JOB employee. As provided for in the Labor Code: "ART.
282. Termination by employer. — An employer may
G.R. No. 118216 terminate an employment for any of the following
March 9, 2000 - causes: . . . (c) Fraud or willful breach by the
DELTAVENTURES employee of the trust reposed in him by his employer
RESOURCES v. or duly authorized representative. . ." Of course, it
FERNANDO P. must be stressed also that loss of confidence as a just
CABATO, ET AL. cause for termination of employment is premised on
the fact that an employee concerned holds a position of
G.R. No. 120060 trust and confidence. This situation holds where an
March 9, 2000 - employee or official of the company is entrusted with
CEBU WOMAN’S CLUB responsibility involving delicate matters, such as the
v. LORETO D. DE LA custody, handling, or care and protection of the
VICTORIA, ET AL. employer’s property. In the case of company personnel
occupying such positions of responsibility, the Court
G.R. No. 121348 has repeatedly held that loss of trust and confidence
March 9, 2000 - justifies termination. 15
ANGELITO P. DELES
v. NLRC, ET AL. As regards a managerial employee, moreover, mere
existence of a basis for believing that such employee
G.R. No. 121998 has breached the trust of his employer would suffice
March 9, 2000 - for his dismissal. Proof beyond reasonable doubt is not
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. required, it being sufficient that there is some basis for
v. TEODORICO such loss of confidence, such as when the employer
CLEOPAS, ET AL. has reasonable ground to believe that the employee
concerned is responsible for the purported misconduct,
G.R. No. 125233 and the nature of his participation therein renders him
March 9, 2000 - unworthy of the trust and confidence demanded by his
Spouses ALEXANDER position. 16

and ADELAIDA CRUZ


v. ELEUTERIO LEIS In the case at bar, Petitioner, is tasked to perform key
functions; he is bound by an exacting work ethic. He
G.R. No. 126125 should have realized that his position requires the full
March 9, 2000 - trust and confidence of his employer in every exercise
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. of managerial discretion insofar as the conduct of his
v. ARMANDO employer’s business is concerned. However, as found a
GAVIOLA quo, he committed acts which betrayed the trust and
confidence reposed on him by tampering with very
G.R. No. 126210 sensitive equipment at the joint terminal facility. In
March 9, 2000 - doing so, he exposed the terminal complex and the
CRISTINA PEREZ v. residents in adjacent communities to the danger of a
HAGONOY RURAL major disaster that may be caused by tank explosions
BANK, ET AL. and conflagration. Verily, he committed acts inimical to
the interest of his employer which is mandated by law
G.R. No. 127439 to observe extraordinary diligence in its operations to
March 9, 2000 - ensure the safety of the public. Indeed, we are
ALFREDO PAZ v. constrained to conclude that petitioner’s admitted
ROSARIO G. REYES infraction as well his past violation of safety regulations
is more than sufficient ground for respondent company
G.R. No. 127749 to terminate the employment of petitioner.
March 9, 2000 -
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. In sum, public respondent NLRC could not be faulted
v. BEN GAJO for any grave abuse of discretion in ruling that
petitioner’s suspension is legal and his dismissal well
G.R. No. 131925 justified on the ground of loss of trust and confidence.
March 9, 2000 -
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. As regards the procedural aspect of petitioner’s
v. DARIO CABANAS dismissal, it appears clear to us that petitioner was
CUAL, ET AL. given ample opportunity to present his side and to
defend himself against the charges against him.
G.R. No. 132745 Respondent company sent petitioner a letter dated
March 9, 2000 - June 2, 1993, requiring him to answer the charges
PEOPLE OF THE PHIL. hurled against him. He participated in the formal
v. ROMEO UGIABAN investigation conducted by respondent company on
LUMANDONG July 23 and August 3, 1993. After the investigation was
concluded, petitioner was notified of his dismissal.
G.R. No. 133323 Under these attendant circumstances, we find no basis
March 9, 2000 - for public respondent’s ruling that respondent company
ALBERTO AUSTRIA v. breached legal procedure prior to termination.
Consequently, the award of indemnity for non-
