Practice question
A party delivers a complete appeal directly to the Commission before the deadline but does not file it with the Regional Arbitration Branch of origin until after the period. The party claims that any office’s receipt necessarily stops the clock. Which statement reflects Rule VI section5?
- Any government office’s receipt perfects the appeal
- Only service on the opponent matters
- The Commission’s head office must always be the original filing site
- The appeal must be filed with the RAB or DOLE Regional Office of origin as applicable; filing elsewhere does not stop the perfection period
- The original Labor Arbiter must personally accept every appeal at home
