R E S O L U T I O N

GONZAGA-REYES, J.:

Respondents are seeking a reconsideration of the Court's 25 January 2000 decision, wherein we declared section 8 of Republic Act No. 8551 (RA 8551) to be violative of petitioners' constitutionally mandated right to security of tenure. As a consequence of our ruling, we held that petitioners' removal as Commissioners of the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) and the appointment of new Commissioners in their stead were nullities and ordered the reinstatement of petitioners and the payment of full backwages to be computed from the date they were removed from office.1 Rollo, 115-127.1
