Self-employed and voluntary members

AND
The pivotal issue raised in the petition in this case is whether, for
the purpose of computing an employees retirement pay, prior
service rendered in a government agency can be tacked in and
added to the creditable service later acquired in a governmentowned and controlled corporation without original charter.
Sometime in 1995, petitioner requested to be included in the next retrenchment
schedule. However, his request was turned down for the following reasons: [8]
1. As a company dentist he was holding a permanent position;
2. He was already due for mandatory retirement in April 1995 under his retirement plan (first
day of the month following his 60th birthday which was on 7 March 1995).
Eventually, petitioner retired after serving the Respondent and LUSTEVECO for
17 years and 4 months upon reaching his 60 birthday, on 1 April 1995. He received a
retirement pay of P512,524.15, [9]which is equivalent to one month pay for every year
of service and other benefits.
th
WON: Whether the petioner is subject for benefits based on Totalization of Service.
held: totalization of service credits is only resorted to when the retiree does not qualify for benefits in
either or both of the Systems.
