	GR No. 160302 2010-09-27	DANILO ESCARIO v. NLRC BERSAMIN, J.
As a general rule, backwages are granted to indemnify a dismissed employee for his loss of earnings during the whole period that he is out of his job. Considering that an illegally dismissed employee is not deemed to have left his employment, he is entitled to all the rights and privileges that accrue to him from the employment.[21] The grant of backwages to him is in furtherance and effectuation of the public objectives of the Labor Code, and is in the nature of a command to the employer to make a public reparation for his illegal dismissal of the employee in violation of the Labor Code.[22]
	GR No. 146094 2003-11-12	PHILIPPINE TRANSMARINE CARRIERS v. VS.FELIPE D. CORTINA SANDOVAL-GUTIERREZ, J.
The necessary import of the foregoing sections, as we held in Imperial Textile Mills, Inc. vs. NLRC,[5] is that "the perfection of an appeal in the manner and within the period prescribed by law is not only mandatory but jurisdictional, and failure to conform to the rules will render the judgment sought to be reviewed final and unappealable."
