Ruben, a line supervisor at NovaGlass Corp., is dismissed for alleged misconduct. He files a complaint with the NLRC Regional Arbitration Branch seeking reinstatement and back wages. The complaint also asserts a separate civil claim for damages arising from a non-employment contract between NovaGlass Corp. and a third-party supplier of glass. (a) Identify the controlling doctrine on NLRC jurisdiction in local employment cases and apply it to determine where the employment-related portion of the action should be filed. (b) If the action includes the separate civil claim not arising from the employment relationship, how should jurisdiction and the proceedings be handled?

The controlling doctrine is that NLRC has exclusive jurisdiction over all issues in a labor dispute, including any separate civil claims arising from a non-employment contract. The appropriate remedy is to file the labor-related portion with the NLRC and the civil claim in the RTC; the NLRC can administer a joint proceeding. The controlling doctrine recognizes NLRC's jurisdiction over labor-relations claims and that non-employment civil claims are outside NLRC; the employment portion should be filed with NLRC, while the separate civil claim should be brought in the proper civil court, with the NLRC severing the claims. The controlling doctrine requires the civil claim to be heard in the Supreme Court if it involves questions of national impact.
