separate complaints for illegal dismissal anddiminution of compensation against Crispa, Inc.,
Valeriano Floro(a major stockholder and director), and the petitioners (high-ranking officers and
directors).- Labor Arbiter rendered a decision dismissing the complaintsfor illegal dismissal but
at the same time ordering Crispa, Inc.,Floro and the petitioners to pay respondent
employeesseparation pays equivalent to seventeen (17) days for everyyear of service- The NLRC
found Crispa, Inc., Valeriano Floro, together with thepetitioners liable for illegal dismissal and
modified the award of separation pay in the amount of one (1) month for every year of service
instead of seventeen (17) days.- Private respondents sought a clarification of public
respondentNLRC's Resolution dated September 30, 1993 insofar as thecomputation of
separation pay by the Examination andcomputation division was concerned as well as the failure
of theResolution to award them full backwages despite the finding of illegal dismissal.- On April
21, 1995, the NLRC, treating the Motion to Clarity Judgment as an Appeal, granted the same in
this wise: …herebydirected to include in the computation, six months backwages.- Petitioners
filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the April 21,1995 Resolution, which was denied. Hence,
