President Raeses and submit such ratification to this Honorable Supreme Court. [20] The law allows a corporation to ratify the unauthorized acts of its corporate officer.[21] With the ratification by petitioner NYK-Fil of Raeses accomplishing of the verification and certification of non-forum shopping which accompanied petitioners petition for certiorari before the Court of Appeals, said petitioner had substantially complied with the requirements of the law. Any defect in the signing of the verification and certification of non-forum shopping is thus deemed cured. If this Court had, in some instances, allowed the belated filing of the certification against forum shopping, or even excused the non-compliance therewith, this Court a fortiori should allow the timely submission of such requirements, albeit the proof of the authority of the signatory was put forward only after.[22]   While the normal course of action would be to remand the case to the appellate court for decision on the merits, it is well within the conscientious exercise of this Courts broad review powers to choose to render judgment on the merits, all material facts having been duly laid before it as would buttress its ultimate conclusion, in the public interest and for the expeditious administration of justice.   Petitioners insist that they received notice of the Labor Arbiters decision on July 13, 2005 and not on July 12, 2005 as indicated by their counsels employee Cantalopez in the Registry Return Card. It is a generally accepted rule that when service is made by registered mail, the service is deemed complete and effective upon actual receipt by the addressee as shown by the Registry Return Card.[23] Between the Registry Return Card on one hand, and the Certification issued by Ms. Emily A. Gianan, Chief, Administrative Unit of the Makati Central Post Office that copy of the Labor Arbiters decision was served on petitioners counsel on July 13, 2005 and the entry of petitioners counsels office logbook stating that copy of the decision was received on July 13, 2005, on the other, the Registry Return Card commands more weight.[24] The Registry Return Card is considered as the official record of the NLRC. It is presumed to be accurate, unless proven otherwise, unlike a written record or note of a party which is often self-serving and easily fabricated.[25]
