Before us is a Petition for Review on Certiorari1 seeking to set aside the August 29,

2012 Decision2 of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. SP No. 115413, which
dismissed the Petition for Certiorari filed therewith and affirmed the May 28, 2010

Resolution3 of the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) reinstating


respondents Mexicali Philippines (Mexicali) and Francesca Mabanta's appeal, partly
granting it and ordering petitioner Emerita G. Malixi's (petitioner) reinstatement but
without the payment of backwages. Likewise assailed is the December 14, 2012

Resolution4 of the CA denying petitioner's Motion for Reconsideration.5

Antecedent Facts

ChanRobles CPA Review

Online

This case arose from an Amended Complaint6 for illegal dismissal and non­payment of

service charges, moral and exemplary damages and attorney's fees filed by petitioner
against respondents Mexicali and its General Manager, Francesca Mabanta, on
February 4, 2009 before the Labor Arbiter, docketed as NLRC NCR Case No. 12-
17618-08.

Petitioner alleged that on August 12, 2008, she was hired by respondents as a team
leader assigned at the delivery service, receiving a daily wage of Three Hundred
Eighty Two Pesos (P382.00) sans employment contract and identification card (ID). In
October 2008, Mexicali's training officer, Jay Teves (Teves), informed her of the
management's intention to transfer and appoint her as store manager at a newly
opened branch in Alabang Town Center, which is a joint venture between Mexicali and
Calexico Food Corporation (Calexico), due to her satisfactory performance. She was
apprised that her monthly salary as the new store manager would be Fifteen
Thousand Pesos (P15,000,00) with service charge, free meal and side tip. She then

Series
subsequently submitted a resignation letter7 dated October 15, 2008, as advised by


Teves. On October 17, 2008, she started working as the store manager of Mexicali in
Alabang Town Center although, again, no employment contract and ID were issued to
her. However, in December 2008, she was compelled by Teves to sign an end-of-
contract letter by reason of a criminal complaint for sexual harassment she filed on
December 3, 2008 against Mexicali's operations manager, John Pontero (Pontero), for

the sexual advances made against her during Pontero's visits at Alabang branch.8
When she refused to sign the end-of-contract letter, Mexicali's administrative officer,
Ding Luna (Luna), on December 15, 2008, personally went to the branch and caused
the signing of the same. Upon her vehement refusal to sign, she was informed by
Luna that it was her last day of work.

Respondents, however, denied responsibility over petitioner's alleged dismissal. They


averred that petitioner has resigned from Mexicali in October 2008 and hence, was no
longer Mexicali's employee at the time of her dismissal but rather an employee of
Calexico, a franchisee of Mexicali located in Alabang Town Center which is a separate
and distinct corporation.

In her reply, petitioner admitted having resigned from Mexicali but averred that her
resignation was a condition for her promotion as store manager at Mexicali's Alabang
Town Center branch. She asserted that despite her resignation, she remained to be
an employee of Mexicali because Mexicali was the one who engaged her, dismissed
her and controlled the performance of her work as store manager in the newly
opened branch.

Proceedings before the Labor Arbiter

In a Decision9 dated August 27, 2009, the Labor Arbiter declared petitioner to have

directors. The this ad? 
Arbiter sustained petitioner's claim that she is an
employee of Mexicali as she was hired at Calexico by Mexicali's corporate officers and
also dismissed by them and hence, held Mexicali responsible for petitioner's
dismissal. The Labor Arbiter then observed that petitioner was only forced to resign
as a condition for her promotion, thus, cannot be utilized by Mexicali as a valid
defense. As the severance from employment was attended by fraud, petitioner was
awarded moral and exemplary damages. The dispositive portion of the Decision
reads:

chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary

WHEREFORE, premises considered, respondents are hereby declared


guilty of illegal dismissal and ORDERED to reinstate complainant to her
former position even pending appeal. All the respondents are hereby
jointly and severally ordered to pay complainant the following:

1. Full backwages from date of dismissal to date of actual


reinstatement which to date amounts to P139,013.94.

2. Moral damages in the sum of P100,000.00.

3. Exemplary damages in the sum of P50,000.00.

Proceedings before the National Labor Relations Commission

On October 26, 2009, respondents filed an Appeal Memorandum with Prayer for

Injunction11 with the NLRC, averring that the Labor Arbiter erred in: (1) holding them
liable for the acts of Calexico, which is a separate entity created with a different
purpose, principal office, directors/incorporators, properties, management and
business plans from Mexicali as evidenced by their respective Articles of Incorporation

and By-Laws;12 (2) ruling that petitioner's resignation was not voluntary; and, (3)
ruling that there is an employer-employee relationship between petitioner and
Mexicali on the basis of petitioner's mere allegation that she was hired and dismissed
by Mexicali's officers.

In a Resolution13 dated November 25, 2009, the NLRC dismissed the appeal for
having been filed beyond the 10-day reglementary period to appeal. The NLRC rioted
that the Appeal Memorandum was filed only on October 26, 2009 despite
respondents' receipt of the Labor Arbiter's Decision on October 13, 2009 (as stated in
the Appeal Memorandum).

Respondents filed a Motion for Reconsideration and Motion for Issuance of

TRO/Injunction14 explaining that the Appeal Memorandum filed by them contained a


typographical error as to the date of actual receipt of the Labor Arbiter's Decision;
that while a copy of the said decision was received by them on October 13, 2009, the

same was only received by their counsel of record on October 15, 200915 which is the
reckoning date of the 10-day reglementary period within which to appeal.

In a Resolution16 dated May 28, 2010, the NLRC granted respondents' motion and
reinstated the appeal. The NLRC ruled that pursuant to its Rules of Procedure, the
date to reckon the 10-day reglementary period should be the date when the counsel
actually received the copy of the Labor Arbiter's Decision and that respondents'
appeal was filed on time.

The NLRC likewise ruled on the merits of the appeal. It partly granted it by sustaining
respondents' contention that Mexicali and Calexico are separate and distinct entities,

employer of Teves and Luna who caused petitioner's termination from her
employment with Calexico, to reinstate petitioner to her job at Calexico but without
paying her any backwages. The dispositive portion of the NLRC Resolution reads:

chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary

WHEREFORE, premises considered, this Commission GRANTS the Motion,


for Reconsideration of its 25 November 2009 Resolution which dismissed
the appeal for having been filed out of time.

This Commission also PARTLY GRANTS the appeal of respondents-

MODIFIED ordering Mexicali Food Corporation to cause the reinstatement
of complainant-appellee to his former position as store manager at its
franchisee Calexico Food Corporation within ten (10) days from receipt of
this Resolution without backwages.

Proceedings before the Court of Appeals

Petitioner sought recourse with the CA via Petition for Certiorari.18 It was petitioner's
contention that the NLRC erred in reinstating respondents' appeal despite being filed
beyond the reglementary period; in resolving the issue of dismissal considering that
only the timeliness of the appeal was the sole issue raised in respondents' motion for
reconsideration; and in holding that she was not illegally dismissed but voluntarily
resigned from Mexicali.

In a Decision19 dated August 29, 2012, the CA dismissed the Petition for Certiorari
and affirmed the May 28, 2010 Resolution of the NLRC. The CA ruled that the NLRC
correctly reinstated respondents' appeal and properly resolved the issues raised
therein to conform with the well-settled principle of expeditious administration of
justice. The CA also agreed with the NLRC that there was no illegal dismissal since
petitioner voluntarily tendered her resignation to assume a position in Calexico.

Petitioner moved for reconsideration which was denied by the CA in its Resolution20
of December 14, 2012.

Hence, this Petition.

PETITIONER'S PETITION FOR CERTIORARI.21 ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary

Petitioner maintains that the CA gravely erred in affirming the NLRC's reinstatement
of respondents' appeal despite being filed out of time and the NLRC's ruling that
there was no illegal dismissal, arguing that it is a non-issue in respondents' motion
for reconsideration and there was absence of any valid cause for terminating her
employment with Mexicali.

Our Ruling

The Petition has no merit.

The appeal before the NLRC was filed on time.

Section 6, Rule III of the 2005 Revised Rules of Procedure of the NLRC (2005 NLRC
Rules) expressly mandates that "(f)or purposes of appeal, the period shall be counted
from receipt of such decisions, resolutions, or orders by the counsel or representative
of record." This procedure is in line with the established rule that if a party has

appeared by counsel, service upon him shall be made upon his counsel.22 "The
purpose of the rule is to maintain a uniform procedure calculated to place in

competent hands the prosecution of a party's case."23 Thus, Section 9, Rule III of the
NLRC Rules provides that "(a)ttorneys and other representatives of parties shall have
authority to bind their clients in all matters of procedure x x x."

Accordingly, the 10-day period for filing an appeal with the NLRC should be counted
from the receipt by respondents' counsel of a copy of the Labor Arbiter's Decision on
October 15, 2009. Petitioner's contention that the reckoning period should be the
date respondents actually received the Decision on October 13, 2009 is bereft of any
legal basis. As mentioned, when a party to a suit appears by counsel, service of every

judgment and all orders of the court must be sent to the counsel. Notice to counsel is

an effective notice to the client, while notice to the client and not his counsel is not

notice in law.24 Therefore, receipt of notice by the counsel of record is the reckoning
     

point of the reglementary period.25 From the receipt of the Labor Arbiter's Decision

by respondent's counsel on October 15, 2009, the 10th day falls on October 25, 2009
G.R. No. 175085, June 01,
which is a Sunday, hence, Monday, October 26, 2009, is the last day to file the

Petitioner, v. MARIE JOSEPHINE We rule otherwise. The Labor Arbiter's finding that the two corporations are one and

that the existence of interlocking directors, corporate officers and shareholders is not
