11. Smantala, habdg pinagmumumura ako nila

Ur8el, bumalik na si Cdpio sa Kaizen dea at nasaksihd
na ang mga Pdg/ayari.

12. Pagkataposnoon, napansin ko na nasa loob na

13. Bigla ndd pasiSawna nagtanong si Urgel at

ang isa pa niyds kasama kay Sdtiltes kung bakit siya

ito, inuulit nilang tinatdong kay Sdtilles kung bakit siya
kumukaha ng picture at pda saM ito, at sinasabihan siya
na ibigay sa kdila ang nasabins kamera. Lumayo si
Santiiles sa kanila at nagsabing bakil niya lbibigay ng
kadera smdtdda sa kanya ito, at lumakad na siya

 14. Nang lumalakad na si Santiiles palayo papunta
sa kalydg work station sa Final Assemblv 1ine, biglang
dudatinA si Ronald F. Belen IBelen l, isa sa kasmand
ni Urgel, at kinuhanan ng picture mg kinalalag/d

sia ne picture ni Santilles, at maka'ilang ulit sila na
naekuhanan ng litrato ng isat isa. Habang ito av

Sdtilles na ba]<jt niya ibibigay dg kame.a kav Belen
samantaldg sa kanya ito Sinabi ni Belen na bibilhin

pagkatataong ito, minura ni Belen si Santilles ng "Putdg

na binundol ni Belen dg kanyang katawm si Santilles
hangamg sa mapasadsaclat mapasandalang huli sa unjt

Dumose of the rquirement of notice is obviously to enable

Simildly, in the case at bar, rhe NLRC $'ent bevond the charges
leveled against the petitioners becalrse the noticc to explain fajled to
show ihat Petjiioners were chdged for havlng drsrespected their
superjors dd for which their dismissal is being sought

With due respect, the NLRCmisdirected its logi., dd instead of

delving into the evidencepresenied by rhe resPondenrs to the rssue
as to whether the petitioners incited others or pdticipated in nots'
concerteclactlvities or illegal stike, it delved in dother tack against
which the petitioners were not charged s'ith in ihe first place The
respondent codPdy did not charge the Petitioners for serrous
misconduct based on allegedinsult o! bad words heaPedupon their
superiors; thus, the NLRC cannot render factual and legal conclusion
upon which the petitioners$'erenot charged$'ith.
