Snippet:
I am the owner of a grocery and merchandising store in Makati City. Last month, I discovered that my cashier pocketed around Eight Hundred Thousand Pesos (P800,000.00) from September 2025 to April 2026. When I was about to file a criminal case against her, I discovered that she filed an illegal dismissal case before the National Labor Relations Commission against me.
