dated 27 December 2022.
19. Applying the relevant law and jurisprudence on the
matter, the Decision dated 25 July 2023 should be reversed as these
Project Employment Agreements, if taken into consideration, would
effectively negate the Labor Arbiter’s finding that TSCC illegally
dismissed Mr. Quiroz because he was lawfully terminated due to
completion or termination of a project for which he was engaged as a
project employee. Thus, the award of backwages and separation pay
to the complainant-appellee have consequently no basis in fact and in
law. If these Project Employment Agreements and pertinent law and
jurisprudence are not considered, the same would cause grave and
irreparable injury to TSCC and would be unjust and unfair.
