| Neither can respondent properly rely on Cañete v. National Labor Relations Commission[26] nor Adamson Ozanam Educational Institution, Inc. v. Adamson University Faculty and Employees Association.[27] In those cases, services were made to persons with apparent lack of authority whatsoever to receive correspondence for and in behalf of counsel. Thus, the 15-day reglementary period was counted from the actual receipt of the proper party. In Cañete, service was made to a sales representative of an adjacent office, who happened to be seated outside the law office of the attorney on record while the said office was still closed. In Adamson, service was made to a security guard. In contrast, here the counsel to whom the court decision was to be served held office within the GSIS building, where there was a designated clerk to receive correspondence officially. | |||||
