CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
Our ruling in the case of Phimco Industries, Inc. v. Brillantes[28] was most appropriately and auspiciously alluded to by the private respondent.  In this case we held:. . . This is precisely why the law sets and defines the standard: even in the exercise of his power of compulsory arbitration under Article 263(g) of the Labor Code, the Secretary must follow the law.  For "when an overzealous official by-passes the law on the pretext of retaining a laudable objective, the intendment or purpose of the law will lose its meaning as the law itself is disregarded."
