RICARDO G. PINTIATURA, PETITIONER, VS. NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS COMMISSION (FOURTH DIVISION), STAR FORCE SECURITY AGENCY AND/OR JUN ISMAEL MANALO, RESPONDENTS.

Our Decision^[1] of 25 September 2014 denied the certiorari petition of the petitioner and consequently affirmed the NLRC’s decision which held that the petitioner’s complaint for illegal dismissal was prematurely filed and that his monetary claims were not supported by sufficient evidence that he was entitled thereto.

The petitioner’s motion for reconsideration^[2] basically re-asserts that the lack of notice of termination does not suffice to establish a reasonable conclusion that respondent security agency did not intend to sever his employment. He further asserts that the respondent security agency failed to prove that he would be deployed to a new post with equivalent position and salary; thus, negating the respondent’s claim that he was placed on “off-detail”or floating status. The petitioner also claims that the respondent security agency pressured him to resign which was tantamount to constructive dismissal.

The motion must fail.

We find no cogent reason to warrant a reconsideration of our decision which the petitioner seeks to reconsider. While the petition failed to prove a prima facie grave abuse of discretion on the part of the NLRC, the motion likewise has not raised any new, substantial ground or reason that would call for either a reversal or modification of our decision. The grounds or issues raised in the said motion have already been passed upon when we rendered the decision sought to be reconsidered. To discuss again the ratio decidendi of our decision would be to belabor the issues ad infinitum.

WHEREFORE, we DENY the motion for reconsideration.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

PJ Reyes, Jr., A.B., Chairman and Gaerlan, JJ., concur.
