On May 4, 2010, MERALCO filed its “Opposition to the Complainants’
Motion for Reconsideration” praying that the said motion be denied for lack of
merit
A perusal of the Motion for Reconsideration reveals that complainants
merely reiterated the same arguments they earlier raised, which were already
Passed upon by the Commission, Neither did they present any new and
Substantial evidence sufficient to reverse the Commission's earlier findings.
WHEREFORE, the Motion for Reconsideration of Quintin Canaya, et. al. is
hereby DENIED for lack of merit.
No second motion for reconsideration shall be entertained.
