RESOLUTION
CASTILLO, M., J.:
For resolution is the Motion for Reconsideration 1 filed by
petitioners assailing Our Decision 2 promulgated on June 5, 2020, in
which We affirmed the dismissal of their appeal. No Comment was
filed thereon by the private respondent.
In their motion, petitioners maintain that their appeal was filed
on time on February 7, 2019, considering that their counsel only saw
the Labor Arbiter's Decision on January 29, 2019 (despite the return
receipt indicating that the Decision was delivered to their building on
January 24, 2019). Furthermore, greater injustice may incur if their
appeal is not given due course.

R e s o l u t i o n
=====================================
The aforesaid are matters that were already argued and
pleaded by petitioners in their petition. As such, these arguments
have already been addressed by this Court. As these arguments are
a mere rehash of the issues already raised and resolved, We find no
compelling reason to grant the motion.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, petitioners' Motion for
Reconsideration is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
