A private hospital dismissed a head radiology technician for alleged misappropriation of hospital funds. The Labor Arbiter ruled in favor of the technician and ordered reinstatement with back wages. The hospital appealed to the NLRC through Commission Proper, which reversed the Labor Arbiter and dismissed the complaint. The technician then filed a petition for certiorari under Rule 65 before the Supreme Court, alleging grave abuse of discretion by Commission Proper. (a) Identify the controlling doctrine and standard of review governing Commission Proper decisions. (b) Distinguish how Commission Proper reviews findings of fact versus rulings of law, and the degree of deference afforded to Labor Arbiter findings. (c) Apply to the facts: what is the technician’s proper remedy, and what must the Supreme Court examine to determine whether there was grave abuse of discretion by Commission Proper? RA 9347 is invoked as part of the modern NLRC framework.
