Abstract/Summary

This is a case filed by Servando Obispo or Mang Ando with the Labor Relations Division of the Department of Labor against St. Isidro College, San Isidro, Bulacan for non-payment of overtime pay, non-payment of salaries, non-payment of five days incentive pay, non-payment of living allowance under PD 525 and 1123, and non-payment of 13th month pay under PD 351. In 1938, Mang Ando born in one of the barrios of Aparri, Cagayan, came to live with his brother and his brother's wife. His brother and sister-in-law worked under the Sisters of San Isidro as cook and laundrywoman, respectively. Mang Ando helped in the household chores in the Sisters' College. He even had the privilege of attending school. In time, he became considered an adopted son of the Sisters and he and his children later on, were given free food and other basic needs. His children grew up, got free education from the Sisters, and finished their college studies. Later, these children got married and left their father with the Sisters. All through the years Mang Ando served as a loyal member of the household. It was only in 1972 though that he has been given the monthly allowance of sixty pesos. Mang Ando, now old and partially deaf, and could not work so hard anymore, so his only work assignment was to fill in for minor tasks at the College. There were times when he would complain of not feeling well. The Sisters would allow him to go to the hospital to see a doctor. He was also given a sick leave and vacation leave. One day Mang Ando never came back. The Sisters were caught by surprise when they received summons from the Department of Labor on the complaints filed by Mang Ando. The Sister Superior is caught in a crossfire of existing labor laws and traditional practices.
