Nilinaw ng #KorteSuprema na ang kawalan ng isang kontraktor ng mga kasangkapan, kagamitan, o makinarya ay hindi agad nangangahulugan na sangkot ito sa ipinagbabawal na labor-only contracting kung hindi naman kailangan ang mga kagamitam sa mismong trabahong ipinakontrata. Sa isang Desisyon na isinulat ni Associate Justice Henri Jean Paul B. Inting, idineklara ng Ikatlong Dibisyon ng Korte Suprema na isang lehitimong job contractor ang MMA Competent Manpower & General Services, Inc. (MMA) at siyang tunay na employer nina Richard Delera at Dionel Quiling (mga nagpetisyon). Isang domestic corporation ang MMA na nag-aalok ng human resource at support services sa mga kliyente, kabilang ang Philippine Foremost Milling Corp. (PFMC) kaugnay sa flour milling at Amigo Logistics Corp. (Amigo) na namamahala sa logistics tulad ng warehousing at trucking. Itinalaga ng MMA ang mga nagpetisyon sa PFMC at Amigo bilang feed mill bagger at pollard stacker. Matapos silang maiulat dahil sa mga paglabag sa patakaran, isinailalim sila sa preventive suspension ng MMA ngunit napawalang-sala at napawalang-bisa ang mga paratang laban sa kanila. Hiniling ng PFMC at Amigo ang reassignment ng mga nagpetisyon. Kinailangan silang ilagay ng MMA sa floating status noong una pero kalaunan ay inalok ng reassignment sa Cavite at Bataan, na kanilang tinanggihan. Nagsampa sila ng reklamo para sa iligal na dismissal. Sinabi nilang isang labor-only contractor ang MMA at mga regular na empleyado sila ng PFMC at Amigo. Nagpasya ang Korte Suprema na isang lehitimong kontraktor ng paggawa ang MMA, na may malaking pondo na nagkakahalaga ng PHP 27 milyon, kahit na wala itong mga kasangkapan, kagamitan, o makinarya. Kinilala ng Korte Suprema ang pagkakaiba ng legitimate labor contracting (lehitimong pangongontrata ng paggawa) at ng ipinagbabawal na labor-only contracting. Sa lehitimong pangongontrata, maaaring kumuha ang mga employer ng isang kontraktor para magsagawa ng mga partikular na trabaho, basta’t sapat ang pondo at mga kagamitan ng kontraktor. Sa ipinagbabawal na labor-only contracting, nagbibigay lamang ang kontraktor ng mga manggagawa nang walang sapat na pondo at kagamitan, at nagsasagawa ang mga manggagawa ng mga tungkuling direktang may kaugnayan sa pangunahing negosyo ng employer. Sa kasong Conqueror Industrial Peace Management Cooperative v. Balingbing, na nagbibigay ng limitadong eksepsiyon kung saan ang trabaho ay pansuporta lamang at hindi nangangailangan ng mga kagamitan, sinabi ng Korte Suprema na nagsagawa ang mga nagpetisyon ng mga post-production na gawain katulad ng pagpapakete at pag-iimbak, na sumusuporta lamang sa operasyon ng PFMC at Amigo. Dahil hindi nangangailangan ng espesyal na makinarya o teknikal na kadalubhasaan ang mga tungkuling ito, nagpasya ang Korte na maaari itong ipakontrata kahit walang malaking pamumuhunan sa mga kagamitan.

The #SupremeCourtPH has affirmed that the President does not have the power to remove the Deputy Ombudsman. In a Decision written by Associate Justice Maria Filomena D. Singh, the SC’s Third Division denied the petition for review filed by the Office of the President (OP). The petition challenged a ruling of the Court of Appeals that voided the OP’s dismissal of then Overall Deputy Ombudsman Melchor Arthur H. Carandang. While Carandang can no longer be reinstated because his term as Overall Deputy Ombudsman already expired in 2020, the SC said that the penalties imposed on him, including the forfeiture of his retirement benefits, have no legal effect. It ruled that Carandang is entitled to his full retirement benefits and to the salaries he would have received during his preventive suspension and dismissal, up to the end of his term. In 2017, Carandang was reported to have claimed in an ambush interview that the Office of the Ombudsman had proof of the alleged ill-gotten wealth of then President Rodrigo R. Duterte and his family, including bank transaction records said to have been transmitted by the Anti-Money Laundering Council to the Ombudsman. These statements related to a complaint filed by former Senator Antonio F. Trillanes IV regarding President Duterte’s alleged unexplained accumulated wealth. Two administrative complaints were then filed against Carandang before the OP, accusing him of improperly disclosing confidential information and showing partiality during the interview. The OP ordered Carandang’s preventive suspension, but this was not enforced by then Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales. Carandang challenged the complaints, arguing that the SC had already ruled in the 2014 case of 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘐𝘐𝘐 𝘷. 𝘖𝘗 (𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴) that Section 8(2) of the 𝘖𝘮𝘣𝘶𝘥𝘴𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘧 1989 was unconstitutional for granting the President administrative disciplinary authority over the Deputy Ombudsman. The OP, claiming that the SC abandoned its ruling in 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 in the 2016 case of 𝘈𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯-𝘚𝘦 𝘷. 𝘖𝘗 (𝘈𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯-𝘚𝘦), proceeded to find Carandang liable for graft and corruption as well as betrayal of public trust and dismissed him from service. Then newly appointed Ombudsman Samuel Martires directed Carandang to cease and desist from performing his duties and declared his post vacant. Holding that 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 had not been abandoned by 𝘈𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯-𝘚𝘦, the SC clarified that 𝘈𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯-𝘚𝘦 did not revisit or overturn 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 because that case merely upheld the dismissal of a complaint against then Overall Deputy Ombudsman Orlando C. Casimiro without imposing any sanction. The President’s disciplinary authority and the constitutionality of Section 8(2) were not at issue. 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 was also decided by the SC 𝘌𝘯 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘤, and could not be modified or reversed by a Division ruling, such as 𝘈𝘨𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯-𝘚𝘦. The SC explained that when it decided 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 in 2014, it became part of the law of the land, firmly establishing that the President has no authority to remove the Deputy Ombudsman. Reaffirming 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘻𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴, the SC stressed that the Constitution expressly characterizes the Ombudsman as independent: free from executive control, supervision, or political influence.

The Supreme Court has required Senate President Tito Sotto to comment on the petition for indirect contempt filed by a group of lawyers, including Atty. Ferdinand Topacio. The group claimed Sotto caused damage and disrespect to the SC when he commented on the SC decision declaring the articles of impeachment transmitted to the Senate as unconstitutional. | via @sandraguinaldo Visit gmanetwork.com/news for more updates

What lesson did you learn from this?

Today we announced plans for a historic 4,000-acre Economic Security Zone in the Philippines—the first AI-native investment acceleration hub under Pax Silica. This purpose-built platform will secure inputs vital to American supply chains and transform how allies manufacture together.

@LibTearCreator1 @grok is this for real

🅱️🇮🇷 BREAKING (Real ‘No Kings’”) 50 too Iranian leaders have been KILLED tonight! Sources say the rest of the regimes top officials are fleeing to Russia. Over a million have marched in solidarity for the 40,000 protestors KILLED last week. The regime has FALLEN!

@afshineemrani @themonent0 @grok how true

BREAKING: THE FIRST CITY HAS FALLEN. 🇮🇷🔥 ​To everyone who said regime change would never happen: LOOK AGAIN. It is happening. Right now. In the streets of Abdanan, the Iranian people have done the unthinkable. They have taken back their city. The local police didn’t just stop—they laid down their weapons and sided with the people. 🤝✊ ​Let’s be clear: This isn't the work of Trump. This isn't the work of Netanyahu. This isn't about foreign militaries. ​The regime’s Army, Navy, and Air Force have been gutted from the inside, and now the Iranian people are the ones who are armed, angry, and unstoppable. They aren't waiting for a savior—they are saving themselves. ​The streets are on fire. The old guard is crumbling. The people are rising to take back what was stolen from them decades ago. ​History is being written in blood and fire tonight. Abdanan was the first. It will not be the last. ​THE REVOLUTION IS HERE. Regime Change in progress.

@newswatchplusph @grok how can this help from global fuel price spikes

MARCOS ANNOUNCES NEW PH GAS SUPPLY BREAKING: President Bongbong Marcos announces the successful drilling of the Camago-3 gas well in the Malampaya field, expected to extend the country’s gas supply by up to six years and strengthen local energy production. The development is seen to bring more stable and potentially cheaper electricity, as locally sourced gas costs far less than imported fuel. Additional supply is targeted to start by the fourth quarter of 2026, helping shield Filipinos from global fuel price spikes. | @TristanNodalo

@ValerieAnne1970 @grok what evil agenda does it refer

Beekeepers in New Zealand have been ordered to burn their healthy bees... “We’ve been told to burn healthy strong bee hives.” “Look at how healthy these bees are, no disease or anything.” Bees are quite possibly the most important insect to exist - it’s not a coincidence they are now dying out rapidly with Governments also persecuting Beekeepers. All part of the same evil agenda.
