On appeal, the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) reversed the
POEA decision on February 27, 1992.[3] The manning agency moved for
reconsideration but the same was denied in a resolution dated August 31, 1992.
The resolution also granted petitioner attorney’s fees equivalent to 5% of the
judgment award.
On October 1, 1992, the manning agency filed a petition for certiorari before
this Court assailing the NLRC’s decision and resolution. It was docketed as G.R.
No. 107131.
The Court issued a temporary restraining order to enjoin the execution of the
judgment award upon posting by the manning agency of a P1 million bond.
On March 13, 1997, the petition was dismissed.[4] The manning agency
sought reconsideration while petitioner filed a “motion for damages on the
injunction bond” praying for the imposition of a 12% interest per annum on the
judgment award computed from September 22, 1992 until full satisfaction of the
award.
On June 16, 1997, the Court denied both the manning agency’s motion for
reconsideration and petitioner’s motion for damages on the injunction bond for
lack of merit.
Entry of judgment was made on March 13, 1998. The records of the case
were thereafter remanded to the NLRC for execution of judgment.
On December 18, 1997, the labor arbiter issued an alias writ of execution
ordering the satisfaction of petitioner’s claims in the amounts
of P1,209,000 (representing the peso equivalent of the judgment award) and
P60,450 as attorney’s fees. On January 9, 1998, the sheriff submitted a return
informing the labor arbiter that the alias writ had been satisfied.
Petitioner then filed with the labor arbiter a motion for the issuance of a
second alias writ of execution. He prayed that the manning agency be held liable
