As the majority avers, these cases are not all about whether the petitioners could have validly
gone on a strike that question has long been settled by this Court but rather, whether or
not they have been given due process as a result of investigations arising from the strike. I
submit that due process is a perfectly legitimate issue to debate in Court an issue involving
the mentors of the nations children no less.
I also submit that it is to trivialize the noblest profession, if it is not to trivialize the serious crisis
confronting the state of Philippine education, to dismiss these complaints as if it involved
simple personalities demanding money. If Cari単o acted as if it were that, and as if it were a
matter alone of "they struck so I fired them," I submit that we ought to know better.
The State assures education for all. 4 It also gives priority to education, as an indispensable
process in nation-building. 5 There is no harm in listening to our educators.
I therefore vote to grant both petitions.Endnotes:

This is a petition for review on certiorari under Rule 45 of the 1997 Rules of Civil
Procedure assailing the July 31, 2002 Decision[1] of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No.
57391 which nullified and set aside the June 22, 1999 Resolution of the Office of the
Ombudsman in OMB-VIS-ADM-98-0103, as well as the Resolution[2] dated October 25, 2002
denying petitioner's motion for reconsideration. chan robles virtual law library
Respondent Jovencio D. Villar is the School Principal of Lanao National High School,
Pilar, Cebu City. In February 1998, Rolando Torceno and petitioners, Melecio Alcala,
Perla Alcala, Roque Borinaga, Helen Lendio, Emma Labaniego and Mary Babeth Mano,
all teachers of Lanao National High School, as well as Asterio Villarante and petitioner

Ombudsman an administrative complaint against respondent for dishonesty.

In the same vein, respondent in the case should be barred under the principle of estoppel by
laches from assailing the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman. Therefore, the Court of Appeals
should have resolved the appeal on its merits, considering that respondent's right to procedural
due process was properly observed.
WHEREFORE, in view of all the foregoing, the July 31, 2002 Decision of the Court of Appeals in
CA-G.R. SP No. 57391 which nullified the Resolution dated June 22, 1999 and Order dated
October 13, 1999 of the Office of the Ombudsman, is REVERSED and SET ASIDE. Let this case be
REMANDED to the Court of Appeals for the determination of the appeal on its merits.
SO ORDERED. Davide, Jr., C.J., Panganiban, Carpio and Azcuna, JJ., concur.
