A bill proposing the creation of the Migrant Worker Relations Commission (MWRC) has raised concerns due to its anti-labor provisions regarding the execution of monetary awards. The bill aims to transfer the jurisdiction over claims and disputes involving Filipino migrant workers from the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) or National Conciliation and Mediation Board (NCMB) to the MWRC. However, the provisions related to monetary awards are deemed unconstitutional and pro-employers, potentially impacting the finality and enforceability of decisions issued by quasi-judicial bodies.

Another bill that contains anti-labor provision on execution of monetary awards is in the offing with the proposed creation of the Migrant Worker Relations Commission (MWRC). House Bill 8805 seeks the creation of the MWRC, a quasi-judicial body that will have jurisdiction over all claims and disputes involving Filipino migrant workers. The bill was proposed by Rep. Ron Salo of the Kabayan party-list group.

The bill seeks to provide timely and fair resolution of the grievances of the migrant workers, which will be transferred to the MWRC from the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) or National Conciliation and Mediation Board (NCMB). However, the proposed bill contained provisions in connection with the execution of monetary awards, which essentially are anti-labor, unconstitutional and pro-employers. In essence, it will amend the Labor Code that will have adverse significant impact on the “immediately final and executory” nature of decisions issued by the quasi-judicial bodies like the NLRC/NCMB
