What is People of The Philippine Islands v. Julio Pomar (G.R. No. 22008, November 3, 1924) about?

Julio Pomar, a tobacco factory manager, was charged for failing to pay a pregnant employee her maternity leave wages as required by Act No. 3071. The Supreme Court ruled that Section 13 of the Act was unconstitutional, as it infringed on the liberty to contract and imposed an unreasonable economic burden on employers. The Court emphasized that while social welfare measures are permissible, they must not arbitrarily violate constitutional rights.
