Case 3

> Marciano Aquino work for a pharmaceutical company manufacturing generic


medicines which sell at lower costs compared to branded medicines. In his eagerness
to sell their low-cost drugs to increase company revenues, he used social media to
spread negative rumors and gossip regarding the manufacturer of the branded
equivalents of their genetic products; this became viral on the Internet after a
few weeks.
As coemployee, Christopher, became aware of what Marciano was doing and reported
this to their supervisor, who in turn, reported Marciano's unethical way of
competing with their rival company to their company head for sales. For fear of
being sued for unethilcal competition by their rival company, the department head
called Marciano a voluntary resignation letter immediately, explaining orally that
this was the order of their company owner because of his irresponsible behavior.
Marciano, who felt bad about this unexpected order from his superior, decided to
write a voluntary resignation and submitted this to the department head the next
day. He felt that the said company superior did not see his good intentions and
that it was not worth it to continue serving them.
After a month, he realized that he acted in anger and he should not have followed
the department head's order; and upon the advise of some of his friends, he decided
to file a complaint for illegal dismissal and termination without due process with
the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) .

Questions:
1. Was the department head right in asking Marciano to resign immediately? Explain
your answer.
No, because the department head was didn't heard any explanation of Marciano's
did, the department head was just listen the other's statement but the Marciano's
statement he didn't so it is being unfair to him. Marciano's work didn't just loose
but it also his reputation as individual.

2. In your opinion, will the complaint/case Marciano filed at the NLRC against the
pharmaceutical company prosper? Explain your answer.
Yes, because Marciano has had a right to fight justice for him, and Marciano
give a good job to his work so that's why it's hard for him to resign, and without
listen his explanation its kind of being unfair.
