there was already a board resolution granting the model employee award to employee "A". his prize was a tour package in a destination here in the Philippines covering the amount of php35,000.00, however, employee "A" failed to avail the same in year 2000. now he wants to claim his award, that instead of a tour package, the sum of php35,000.00 be given to him. may i know what provision of law governs the case at bar? thank you

much will depend on what happened in between. if the employee tried to claim it before, then I would say that he may still have a valid claim, particularly if the company was the reason why he could not claim it.
if nothing was heard from him since 2010, then i would argue that his delay would unduly prejudice the company with the effect of his delay. this is technically called laches.
another question is whether the board resolution may be considered a unilateral contract (one side binds itself), which takes 10 years to prescribe.
