Subject of the Disclosure

Decision of Labor Arbiter Renaldo Hernandez in NLRC Case No. NCR-02-02562-17, a complaint about money claims filed by Mr. Francisco A. Navarro against The Philodrill Corporation, Mr. Alfredo C. Ramos and Reynaldo E. Nazarea.

Background/Description of the Disclosure

Further to our disclosure of March 6, 2017, regarding the complaint for money claims filed by Mr. Francisco A. Navarro against respondents The Philodrill Corporation, Mr. Alfredo C. Ramos and Reynaldo E. Nazarea, please be advised that The Philodrill Corporation has received today, September 8, 2017, the decision of Labor Arbiter Renaldo Hernandez in NLRC Case No. NCR-02-02562-17, the dispositive portion of which reads as follows:

“WHEREFORE, judgment is hereby rendered DISMISSING the complaint against respondents for utter lack of merit.”

Name of the court or agency in which the proceedings are pending National Labor Relations Commission
Date Instituted Feb 22, 2017
Docket Number NLRC-NCR-02-02562-17
Principal Parties

Francisco A. Navarro - Complainant
The Philodrill Corporation/Alfredo C. Ramos and Reynaldo E. Nazarea - Respondents

Nature and description of the legal proceedings

Mr. Navarro is claiming special retirement benefit amounting to P19,893,000.00, profit share of P1,391,721.00 and litigation expenses of at least P2,128,472.10. He is also claiming moral and exemplary damages amounting to P20,000,000.00

The effect(s) on the Issuer's business or operations, if any

The Company believes these claims are without basis, as Mr. Navarro has been paid his full retirement benefits in accordance with the Company’s approved Retirement Plan. Mr. Navarro has executed a quitclaim on January 11, 2017 in favor of Philodrill, attesting to the fact that he has no further claims against the Company, after receiving all his retirement benefits.

While we cannot speculate on the adverse effects of the proceedings on the reputation of the Company, this however, will not affect the business operations of Philodrill. The Company shall proceed with its work program, in the ordinary course of business.
