[ G.R. No. 113031. April 7, 1999]

ASSO. LABOR UNIONS, et al. vs. HON. NIEVES ROLDAN-CONFESOR, et al.

SECOND DIVISION

Gentlemen:

Quoted hereunder, for your information, is a resolution of this Court dated APR 7, 1999.

G.R. No. 113031 (Associated Labor Unions [ALU], et al. vs. Hon. Nieves Roldan-Confesor, et al.)

In line with the pronouncement of this Court in National Federation of Labor (NFL) vs. Hon Bienvenido E. Laguesma, et al., G.R. No. 123426, 10 March 1999, that all petitions for certiorari under Rule 65 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure against the decisions of the Secretary of Labor rendered under the Labor Code and its implementing and related rules should be filed initially in the Court of Appeals in strict observance of the doctrine on the hierarchy of courts, as emphasized in St. Martin Funeral home vs. National Labor Relations Commission, on the "judicial policy that this Court will not entertain direct resort to it unless the redress desired cannot be obtained in the appropriate courts or where exceptional and compelling circumstances justify availment of a remedy within and calling for the exercise of our primary jurisdiction," the Court RESOLVES to REFER this case to the Court of Appeals for appropriate action and disposition.

Very truly yours,

TOMASITA M. DRIS
Clerk of Court
