KAHING HARDWARE & CONSTRUCTION SUPPLY, BEN LIN GALAROZA & JUSTINA B. LIN, PETITIONERS, V. NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS COMMISSION AND ELLIEN M. CANASTA, RESPONDENTS.

Before Us is petitioners’ “MOTION TO WITHDRAW PETITION”^[1] (“Motion to Withdraw” for brevity), praying that the instant Petition for Certiorari^[2] be considered withdrawn.^[3] Petitioners stated the following, among others:

“2. While the instant Petition is pending, the parties
were able to reach a settlement/satisfaction of judgment award before
the Honorable labor Arbiter Napoleon V. Fernando. A Copy of
Respondent-Complainant’s Quitclaim and Release with Motion to Dismiss is
hereto attached xxx.

3. In view of the foregoing, the instant Petition no
longer merits continuance. Thus, it is respectfully moved that the
instant Petition be considered withdrawn.

WHEREFORE, it is most respectfully prayed unto this
Honorable Court that this Petition be considered withdrawn in view of
the settlement/satisfaction of judgment award reached between the
parties.”^[4] (Emphasis supplied)

Given that petitioners, in their Motion to Withdraw^[5], sought the withdrawal of the very Petition^[6] they filed, then the withdrawal of petitioners’ Petition for Certiorari^[7] is justified.

WHEREFORE, petitioners’ prayer for the withdrawal of their Petition for Certiorari^[8] in their Motion to Withdraw^[9] is GRANTED. The Petition^[10] at bench is considered WITHDRAWN, and, the case is deemed CLOSED and TERMINATED.

SO ORDERED.

Dicdican (Chairman) and Dimagiba,^[*] JJ., concur.
