Section 10, Rule X of the 2009 DARAB Rules of Procedure specifically

provides that:

“SECTION 10. Motion for Reconsideration. — Within fifteen (15)

days from receipt of notice of the order, resolution, or decision of
the Board or Adjudicator, a party may move for reconsideration
of such order, resolution, or decision on the grounds that:

a. the findings of fact in the said decision, order, or resolution are

not supported by substantial evidence; or

b. the conclusions stated therein are contrary to law and

jurisprudence.xxx”

Herein petitioners’ failed to prove that the findings of fact in the

Decision rendered by this Board are not supported by substantial evidence
or the conclusions stated therein are contrary to law and jurisprudence as
mandated by the above-mentioned rule.

Also, the Supreme Court accordingly held in the following cases:

“Among the ends to which a motion for reconsideration is

addressed, one is precisely to convince the court that its ruling is
erroneous and improper, contrary to the law or the evidence
(COQUILLA vs. COMELEC, GR No. 151914)

Well settled is the rule that a motion which, as here, does

not make out a new matter sufficiently persuasive to induce
modification of judgment deserves to be denied. (Philippine
Commercial and Industrial Bank vs. Escolin, 67 SCRA 202.) This
holds true in administrative cases as in the case at bar (DRA.
JOSEFINA R. ESCOTA vs. EUSEBIO OCAMPO, O.P. Case No.
3870)”.
