[G.R. No. 155207. August 7, 2006]

WILHELMINA S. OROZCO v. PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER AND LETICIA JIMENEZ MAGSANOC

Second Division

Sirs/Mesdames:

Quoted hereunder, for your information, is a resolution of this Court dated AUG. 7, 2006

G.R. No. 155207 (Wilhelmina S. Orozco v. Philippine Daily Inquirer and Leticia Jimenez Magsanoc)

In the dispositive portion of the Court's Resolution dated 29 April 2005, the Court required the Labor Arbiter "to clarify the amount of the award due the petitioner," and thereafter, for the private respondents to post the requisite appeal bond in accordance with Article 223 of the Labor Code. [1] cralaw However, private respondents have since manifested that the Labor Arbiter has yet to make the necessary clarification pursuant to the Court's Resolution.

The petition arose from NLRC Case No. NCR-00-06-03668-93, which was decided on 29 October 1993 by Labor Arbiter Arthur L. Amansac. [2] cralaw However, the Resolution of the Court dated 29 April 2005 was served on the "National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC)," without reference to the Office of the Labor Arbiter, or any labor arbiter in particular. [3] cralaw It is not certain whether Labor Arbiter Amansac is still with the NLRC, considering that 12 years had passed since his original decision.

If only to reiterate the duty on the part of the NLRC, particularly its labor arbiters, to comply with the Resolution of the Court dated 29 April 2005, the Court RESOLVES to RESEND a copy of the aforementioned Resolution, as well as the Resolution dated 14 September 2005 to "Labor Arbiter Arthur L. Amansac, or the Labor Arbiter currently assigned to Case No. NCR-00-06-03668-93," and to require the Labor Arbiter concerned to "clarify the amount due to the petitioner" within ten (10) days from receipt of this Resolution, and for private respondents to post the requisite bond in accordance with Article 223 of the Labor Code within five (5) days from receipt of the Labor Arbiter's compliance. Thereafter, the petition will be given due course.

Very truly yours,

(Sgd.) LUDICHI YASAY-NUNAG
Clerk of Court
