The petition is devoid of merit.   As a rule, the Court is not a trier of facts, and this applies with greater force in labor cases. Hence, factual findings of quasi-judicial bodies like the NLRC, particularly when they coincide with those of the Labor Arbiter and are supported by substantial evidence, are accorded respect and even finality by this Court.17[17]   As for the “Conditional Satisfaction of Judgment,” the Court holds that it is valid, hence, the “conditional” settlement of the judgment award insofar as it operates as a final satisfaction thereof to render the case moot and academic. The pertinent provision of the Conditional Satisfaction reads:   That this Conditional Satisfaction of Judgment Award is without prejudice to herein respondent’s Petition for Certiorari pending with the Court of Appeals docketed as C.A. GR SP No. 104438 entitled “Career Philippines Shipmanagement Ltd., vs. National Labor Relations Commission and Geronimo Madjus” and this Conditional Satisfaction of Judgment Award has been made only to prevent imminent execution being undertaken by the NLRC and complainant.18[18] (emphasis supplied)     Meanwhile the Receipt of Payment19[19] signed by respondent states: 17 [17] New City Builders v. NLRC, G.R. No. 149281, June 15, 2005, 460 SCRA 220. 18 [18] Vide Conditional Satisfaction of Judgment Award with Urgent Motion to Cancel Appeal Bond, NLRC records, pp. 565-567.
