	GR No. 172409 2008-02-04	ROOS INDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION v. NLRC and JOSE MARTILLOS TINGA, J,
Contrary to petitioners' assertion, the appeal bond is not merely procedural but jurisdictional. Without said bond, the NLRC does not acquire jurisdiction over the appeal.[23] Indeed, non-compliance with such legal requirements is fatal and has the effect of rendering the judgment final and executory.[24] It must be stressed that there is no inherent right to an appeal in a labor case, as it arises solely from the grant of statute.[25]
	GR No. 171053 2007-10-15	SEHWANI v. IN-N-OUT BURGER YNARES-SATIAGO, J.
The Court has invariably ruled that perfection of an appeal within the statutory or reglementary period is not only mandatory but also jurisdictional; failure to do so renders the questioned decision/final order final and executory, and deprives the appellate court of jurisdiction to alter the judgment or final order, much less to entertain the appeal.[20] True, this rule had been relaxed but only in highly meritorious cases to prevent a grave injustice from being done.[21] Such does not obtain in this case.
