Labor and Employment on May 3, 1991 states that “[t]he accreditation of a principal or a project may be transferred to another agency, provided, that transfer shall not involve any diminution of wages and benefits of workers”; respondent instituted her complaint precisely on her claims of diminution of wages and benefits and the breach of  contractual obligations.[8]   JSCI appealed to the NLRC invoking anew that it is not liable in view of the transfer of its accreditation.  It likewise repeated its argument that respondent paid only the amount of P18,350.00 as placement fee.   On November 25, 1997, the NLRC modified the decision of the Labor Arbiter by dismissing the case against JSCI and holding petitioner solely liable for respondent’s claims.[9]  It sustained JSCI’s view that petitioner should shoulder the liability as transferee agent in accordance with the POEA Rules.  The NLRC deleted the award of excess placement fee after considering that Official Receipt No. 5890 dated October 28, 1994 showed that respondent paid the amount of only P18,350.00.[10]    Petitioner filed a motion for reconsideration[11] but it was dismissed in the NLRC Resolution dated February 19, 1998.[12]   On May 4, 1998, petitioner filed a petition for certiorari before us, docketed as G.R. No. 133361.[13]  On June 22, 1998, the Court granted the temporary restraining order prayed for in the petition and required the NLRC and respondent to comment thereon.[14]
