Ruling

Accordingly, she is entitled to her backwages from February 15, 1999 up to the date of this decision and to separation pay equivalent to one (1) month salary, hereunder computed as follows: Backwages: P6,000.00/mo. x 7.5 mos = P 45,000.00 Separation Pay: at one (1) month pay = P 6,000.00 --------------- TOTAL P51,000.00 On the matter of the complainants claim for moral and exemplary damages, this is not substantiated by the complainant. Mere allegation of illegal dismissal is not enough as it is required that complainant must prove that bad faith on the part of the respondents attended her dismissal from employment. WHEREFORE, all the foregoing premises being considered, judgment is hereby rendered ordering the respondents to pay complainant the sum of P51,000.00. SO ORDERED.
