MENDOZA, J.
For failure of the petitioners to support their claim of unsatisfactory performance by Sy, this Court shares the view of the CA that Sy's employment was unjustly terminated to prevent her from acquiring a regular status in circumvention of the law on security of tenure.  As the Court previously stated, this is a common and convenient practice of unscrupulous employers to circumvent the law on security of tenure. Security of tenure, which is a right of paramount value guaranteed by the Constitution, should not be denied to the workers by such a stratagem. The Court can not permit such a subterfuge, if it is to be true to the law and social justice.[20]
