Ruling

WHEREFORE, judgment is hereby rendered: declaring the dismissal of complainant to be without a just or authorized cause and, therefore, illegal; ordering respondent German Machineries Corporation to reinstate the complainant to his former position without loss of seniority rights and other privileges and to pay complainant his full backwages inclusive of allowances and other benefits, computed from August 27, 1999 up to his actual reinstatement. As of the date of this Decision, complainants full backwages totaled P143,884.06. Should reinstatement of complainant be no longer feasible due to some valid reasons, respondent German Machineries Corporation is ordered to pay to complainant in addition to his full backwages, separation pay equivalent to one (1) month salary for every year of service, a fraction of at least six (6) months to be computed as one (1) whole year. Ordering respondent German Machineries Corporation to pay to complainant the amount equivalent to ten (10%) percent of the total award in this decision as attorneys fees. The other claims of complainant are hereby DISMISSED for lack of merit. SO ORDERED.
