Compliance to the Chain of Custody Rule is mandatory. It can never be subject to the discretion of the arresting police officer/s.

In Unirock Corp. vs CA and Eduardo Pajarito (G.R. No. 192113, Sept. 7, 2020), the Court reiterated the 2 elements of abandonment, to wit: (1) failure to report for work or absence without justifiable reason; and (2) clear intention to sever the employment relationship manifested by some overt act. Absence must be accompanied by some overt acts unerringly pointing to the fact that the employee simply does not want to work anymore. Furthermore, it is a settled doctrine that the filing of a complaint for illegal dismissal is inconsistent with abandonment of employment. An employee who takes steps to protest his/her dismissal cannot logically be said to have abandoned his/her work. The filing of such complaint is proof enough of his/her desire to return to work, thus negating any suggestion of abandonment.
