Whether or not a certificate of registration can be cancel

led without hearing.

RULING:

Subject to the requirements of notice and due process, th

e registration of any legitimate labor union, chartered lo
cal and worker’s association may be cancelled by the Re
gional Director, or in the case of federations, national or
industry unions and trade union centers, by the Bureau
Director, by filing of an independent complaint or petiti
on for cancellation.

The cancellation of a certificate of registration is the equ

ivalent of snuffing out the life of a labor organization. F
or without such registration, it loses — as a rule — its ri
ghts under the Labor Code. Under the circumstances, pet
itioner was indisputably entitled to be heard before a jud
gment could be rendered cancelling its certificate of regi
stration. In David vs. Aguilizan it was held that a decisio
n rendered without any hearing is null and void.
