REYES, J. |
||||
| Petitioner also questions the authority of the DOLE to make a finding of an employer-employee relationship concomitant to its visitorial and enforcement power. The Court notes at this juncture that the petitioner, again, did not raise this question in the proceedings before the DOLE. At best, what the petitioner raised was the sufficiency of evidence proving the existence of an employer-employee relationship and it was only in its petition for certiorari with the CA that the petitioner sought to have this matter addressed. The CA should have refrained from resolving said matter as the petitioner was deemed to have waived such argument and was estopped from raising the same.[19] | |||||
