BRION, J.
In DM. Consunji, Inc. v. Jamin,[34] an employee was dismissed after the expiration of the project he was last engaged in. After ruling that the respondent-employee was a regular and not a project employee, this Court affirmed the grant of backwages, computed from the time of the employee's illegal dismissal until his actual reinstatement. In these lights, we rule that the respondents are entitled to their full backwages, inclusive of their allowances and other benefits from the time of their dismissal up to their actual reinstatement.[35]

In D.M. Consunji, Inc. v. EstelitoJamin[19] and Liganza v. RBL Shipyard Corporation,[20] the Court reiterated the ruling that an employment ceases to be coterminous with specific projects when the employee is continuously rehired due to the demands of the employer's business and re-engaged for many more projects without interruption.
