| Petitioners further maintain that the ruling in Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company v. National Labor Relations Commission[15] regarding the disallowance of separation pay for those dismissed due to serious misconduct or moral turpitude is mandatory. Petitioners likewise argue that in Zenco Sales, Inc. v. National Labor Relations Commission,[16] the Supreme Court found grave abuse of discretion on the part of the NLRC when it ignored the principles laid down in the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company v. National Labor Relations Commission. Thus, petitioners pray for the reversal of the CA Decision and reinstatement of the Labor Arbiter's Decision dated November 16, 1999. | |||||

| As regards the amount of P13,260 awarded to petitioner by way of financial assistance, the same must be deleted for lack of basis. Financial assistance may be given as a measure of social justice in exceptional circumstances and as an equitable concession. It is allowed only in those instances where the employee is validly dismissed for causes other than serious misconduct or those reflecting on his moral character.[27] | |||||
