defined)
FACTS:
Phil association of Service Exporters, Inc.,
is engaged principally in the recruitment
of Filipino workers, male and female of
overseas employment. It challenges the
constitutional validity of Dept. Order No. 1
(1998) of DOLE entitled Guidelines
Governing the Temporary Suspension of
Deployment of Filipino Domestic and
Household Workers. It claims that such
order is a discrimination against males
and females. The Order does not apply to
all Filipino workers but only to domestic
helpers and females with similar skills, and
that it is in violation of the right to travel,
it also being an invalid exercise of the
lawmaking power. Further, PASEI invokes
Sec 3 of Art 13 of the Constitution,
providing for worker participation in policy
and decision-making processes affecting
their rights and benefits as may be
provided by law. Thereafter the Solicitor
General on behalf of DOLE submitting to
the validity of the challenged guidelines
involving the police power of the State and
informed the court that the respondent
have lifted the deployment ban in some
states where there exists bilateral
agreement with the Philippines and
existing mechanism providing for
sufficient safeguards to ensure the welfare
and protection of the Filipino workers.
