ZENAIDA ASUNCION v. NLRC

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

QUISUMBING, J.
In Asuncion v. National Labor Relations Commission,[19] we ruled that perfection of an appeal within the statutory or reglementary period is not only mandatory but also jurisdictional and failure to do so renders the questioned decision final and executory, thus depriving the appellate court jurisdiction to alter the final judgment, much less to entertain the appeal.[20] As we said, although Hanjin had the opportunity to appeal its case, it did not.
