DECISION
YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.:
This Petition for Review on Certiorari under Rule 45 of the Rules of Court
assails the September 27, 2005 Decision[1] of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP
No. 77145, which set aside the November 20, 2002 Resolution[2] of the National
Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) and reinstated with modifications the May
31, 2002 Decision[3] of Labor Arbiter Arturo L. Gamolo.
The records show that on August 15, 1999, petitioner Placewell International
Services Corporation (PISC) deployed respondent Ireneo B. Camote to work as
building carpenter for SAAD Trading and Contracting Co. (SAAD) at the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) for a contract duration of two years, with a
corresponding salary of US$370.00 per month.
