Dumose of the r€quirement of notice is obviously to enable

Simildly, in the case at bar, rhe NLRC $'ent bevond the charges
leveled against the petitioners becalrse the noticc to explain fajled to
show ihat Petjiioners were chdged for havlng drsrespected their
superjors dd for which their dismissal is being sought
With due respect, the NLRCmisdirected its logi., dd instead of
delving into the evidencepresenied by rhe resPondenrs to the rssue
as to whether the petitioners incited others or pdticipated in nots'
concerteclactlvities or illegal stike, it delved in dother tack against
which the petitioners were not charged s'ith in ihe first place The
respondent codPdy did not charge the Petitioners for serrous
misconduct based on allegedinsult o! bad words heaPedupon their
superiors; thus, the NLRC cannot render factual and legal conclusion
upon which the petitioners$'erenot charged$'ith.
