Republic of the Philippines SUPREME COURT Manila FIRST DIVISION G.R. No. 167286 February 5, 2014 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL MANILA AND/OR BRIAN McCAULEY, Petitioners, vs. INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ALLIANCE OF EDUCATORS (ISAE) AND MEMBERS REPRESENTED BY RAQUEL DAVID CHING, PRESIDENT, EVANGELINE SANTOS, JOSELYN RUCIO AND METHELYN FILLER, Respondents. D E C I S I O N LEONARDO-DE CASTRO, J.: In this petition for review on certiorari, 1 petitioners International School Manila (hereafter the School) and Brian McCauley seek to set aside the Decision 2 dated November 17, 2004 and the Resolution 3 dated February 23, 2005 of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No. 79031. The decision of the appellate court upheld the illegality of respondent Evangeline Santos's termination from employment in the School, while the assailed resolution denied the petitioners' motion for reconsideration. The complaint filed before the Labor Arbiter involved three individual complainants, aside from the International School Alliance of Educators (ISAE). 4 However, the instant petition concerns only the case of Santos as the causes of action of the other complainants, Joselyn Rucio and Methelyn Filler, had since been dismissed by the Labor Arbiter and the Court of Appeals, respectively. The Material Facts Santos was first hired by the School in 1978 as a full-time Spanish language teacher. In April 1992, Santos filed for and was granted a leave of absence for the school year 1992-1993. She came back from her leave of absence sometime in August
