	GR No. 158693 2004-11-17	JENNY M. AGABON v. NLRC YNARES-SATIAGO, J.
In Better Buildings, Inc. v. NLRC,[79] the Court ruled that the while the termination therein was for just and valid cause, the manner of termination was done in complete disregard of the necessary procedural safeguards.[80] The Court found nominal damages as the proper form of award, as it was purposed to vindicate the right to procedural due process violated by the employer.[81] A similar holding was maintained in Iran v. NLRC[82] and Malaya Shipping v. NLRC.[83] The doctrine has express statutory basis, duly recognizes the existence of the right to notice, and vindicates the violation of such right. It is sound, logical, and should be adopted as a general rule.
