What is People vs. Pomar: Act 3071 Ruling about?
Julio Pomar was the manager of a tobacco factory who failed to pay Macaria Fajardo, a cigar maker he employed, 80 pesos in wages for her mandatory leave during the 30 days before and after her pregnancy as required by law. Pomar was found guilty but appealed, arguing the law was unconstitutional. The court ruled sections 13 and 15 of Act 3071, which mandated the leave and wages, unconstitutional as it infringed on the right to liberty in contracting between employers and employees.
