Sometime in June 2013, respondents hired petitioners to work in its project located at

Roces Avenue, Quezon City (QC Project), specifically for the finishing phase.
Subsequently, a project engineer of respondents allegedly told the petitioners that they
are already terminated from their employment because there was no more work to be
done, even if in reality, the phase on which they were working on was not yet
completed.
Aggrieved by the verbal dismissal, petitioners filed a complaint for illegal dismissal, against
respondents before the Labor Arbiter (LA). Petitioners admitted that they no longer chose to be
reinstated due to the strained relationship of the parties.
