Thelma Dumpit-Murillo

The CGSC is an Executive Leadership Program and in fact, is a prerequisite for promotion for military officials to the rank of General.

[2] In 1987, Dumpit moved to Chicago, Illinois, where she anchored The Philippine Reports, a weekly news show broadcast in the Midwest.

After four years as its senior news anchor, Dumpit negotiated for a change in the terms and conditions of her work status and when her contract was not renewed in October 1999, she sent a letter to Jose Javier, vice president for news and public affairs of ABC, stating that she considered this a constructive dismissal of her services.

On December 20, 1999 Dumpit filed a complaint against the company for illegal constructive dismissal and demanded payment for alleged damages.

The Supreme Court affirmed NLRC's decision that Dumpit was a regular employee of ABC and that the company's actions constituted illegal dismissal.

[4] The decision ruled that Dumpit was to be reinstated to her position as ABC 5 news anchor without lost to seniority and to be awarded almost three million pesos to cover backwages and benefits due a regular employee and for moral damages.
