AN ACT PROVIDING FOR ADDITIONAL BENEFITS AND PROTECTION TO THE HOUSEHELPERS THEREBY AMENDING FOR THIS PURPOSE ARTICLES 141, 142, 143, 148, AND 151 OF CHAPTER III OF P.D. 442, AS AMENDED, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE LABOR CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES

This bill is for the poor and marginalized sector, everyday army of unsung heroes of the Philippine economy – the household helpers. It also carries with it the sincere desire of promoting the domestic worker industry’s welfare which has long been overlooked and neglected not only by the government but by our society, as well.
