Section 42
SECTION 42. Article 302 of the same Code is hereby transferred to Chapter III as added under Section 37 hereof and renumbered and amended to read as follows: "Art. 272. Appeal.—Decisions, awards, or orders of the Labor Arbiters or compulsory arbitrators are final and executory unless appealed to the Commission by any of both of the parties within ten (10) days from receipt of such awards, orders, or decisions. Such appeal may be entertained only on any of the following grounds: (a) If there is prima-facie evidence of abuse of discretion on the Labor Arbiter or Compulsory Arbitrator; (b) If the decision, order, or award was secured through fraud or coercion, including graft and corruption; (c) If made purely on question of law; and (d) If serious errors in the findings of facts are raised which would cause grave or irreparable damage or injury to the appellant. To discourage frivolous or dilatory appeals, the Commission or the Labor Arbiter shall impose reasonable penalty, including fines or censure, upon the erring parties. In all cases, the appellant shall furnish a copy of the memorandum of appeal to the other party who shall file an answer not later than ten (10) days from receipt thereof. The Commission shall decide all cases within twenty (20) working days from receipt of the answer of the appellee. The decision of the Commission shall be final and unappealable, except in the following cases: (a) by certiorari to the Supreme Court on question of law; and (b) where the case involves an industry indispensable to the national interest, in which case it may appealed to the President of the Philippines upon recommendation of the Secretary of Labor within ten (10) days from receipt of such decision by the appealing party.
