Bobeth Vergara Tadeo v. Wns · G.R. 239495

Petitioner: Bobeth Vergara Tadeo
Respondent: Wns Global Services Philippines
Citation: G.R. No. 239495
Court: Supreme Court
Division: First Division
Decided: August 8, 2018

Summary

The Supreme Court denied the petition for review on certiorari filed by employee Bobeth Vergara Tadeo against WNS Global Services Philippines, Inc., affirming the Court of Appeals' dismissal of his constructive dismissal claim. The SC emphasized the time-honored principle that bare allegations of constructive dismissal, when uncorroborated by evidence, cannot be given credence. The Court found that petitioner failed to present competent evidence proving that his poor performance rating and workload were intentionally used to force his resignation, or that his decision to resign was involuntary. While affirming the CA's decision, the SC modified it by deleting the award of attorney's fees, finding no factual and legal bases under Article 2208 of the Civil Code. The decision reinforces the evidentiary burden required in constructive dismissal cases and the strict standards for awarding attorney's fees in labor disputes.
