SALAZAR-FERNANDO, J.:


On February 10, 2014, this Court denied the petition and affirmed the findings of the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC), Third Division, in NLRC LAC No. 01- 000511-13 NLRC NCR No. 04-05585-12,[1] that petitioner was not illegally dismissed.[2] On March 6, 2014, petitioner filed a Motion for Reconsideration.[3] Private respondents filed a Comment[4] on the said motion, to which petitioner filed a Reply.[5]

A review of petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration shows that such motion fails to raise any new issue that would warrant this Court’s reconsideration of the assailed decision. The motion still presents arguments insisting on the alleged illegal dismissal of the petitioner but failed to confront the real issue on the lack of substantial evidence to support such claim. This matter was already discussed and ruled upon by this Court in its assailed decision. Thus, in the absence of any novel issue, this Court will not disturb its previous pronouncement.

WHEREFORE, premises considered, petitioner’s Motion for Reconsideration is DENIED.

SO ORDERED.

Gaerlan[*] and Garcia-Fernandez,[**] JJ., concur.
