COMMENT to Complainants’
Manifestation and Motion dated
15 September 2014
3. Both complainant did report on that day but later on made clear
their objectives in doing so, which is only to orchestrate an uncanny
situation that they can use to hit back again the respondents after they
lost the instant case;
4. Noteworthy to mention that when respondents issued the return
to work order to the complainants it did so in good faith with the
earnest intention of having them back;
10. But this does not mean that the respondent was not sincere in
its resolved to accept back again the complainants;
12. But as stated above, the issue here is not the sincerity of the
respondents in ordering the complainants back to work, but the
sincerity of the complainants in accepting back their work;
13. On August 11, 2014, Mr. Bacalso and Ms. Hupping did report
for work in the Institute;
14. That Mr. Bacalso thereafter failed to report for work on August
12, 2014;

16. That, both Mr. Bacalso and Ms. Hupping arrived late at the
same time at 10:10 am on August 13, 2014, signed their respective
DTRs, took some more pictures inside the office, and left at 12:00nn
without permission and failed to come back;
18. That, Mr. Bacalso arrived late at 10:25am on August 14, 2014
and left the office without permission at 1:00pm and failed to come
back;
19. That, both Mr. Bacalso and Ms. Hupping failed to report for
work on Friday, August 15, 2014 until 2:00pm, when the office was
closed;
r
(See the Daily Time Records of the complainants which are attached
herein as ANNEXES “A to D” to form an integral part hereof);
20. In fact, on the very first day that complainant Bacalso reported
for work he already argued with the Executive Director of the institute
for he is asking for a leave which the latter refused;
22. To settle, this issue once and for all, respondents challenged the
complainants to show their sincerity in working again with the
respondent institute by reporting for work soonest possible time and
show more work ethics by cooperating and coordinating with their
superiors in the institute on how they can be given task and functions
without prejudicing their co-employees who certainly should not be
displaced just because they are coming in;
