BORJA, J.,:


On December 9, 2013[1], this Court issued a Resolution referring this case to this Court’s Philippine Mediation Center (PMC) for mediation proceedings.

On December 19, 2013, plaintiff-appellee filed a Manifestationn[2] stating his unwillingness to submit this case to mediation and praying that the case be decided on its merits.

On January 8, 2014[3], this Court’s PMC terminated the mediation proceedings in view of the plaintiff-appellee’s Manifestation.

ACCORDINGLY, this case is reffered back to judicial proceedings. The defendant-appellant’s “Comment To The Motion To Admit To File Brief For The Plaintiff-Appellee”[4] is NOTED in view of this Court’s Resolution dated August 31, 2012 denying the “Appellee’s Motion To Admit To File Brief For The Plaintiff-Appellee”[5] and submitting the case for decision sans appellee’s brief.

SO ORDERED.

Francisco and Badelles. JJ., concur.
