Legislation includes laws that provide particular kinds of protection or benefits to the

In the interpretation of contracts, obscure words and provisions shall not favor the
party that caused the obscurity. Consequently, the terms of the contract of
employment should be construed strictly against the petitioner, which prepared it.
Indeed, a contract of employment is impressed with public interest. For this reason,
provisions of applicable statutes are deemed written into the contract. Hence, the
“parties are not at liberty to insulate themselves and their relationships from the
impact of labor laws and regulations by simply contracting with each other.”
Moreover, in case of doubt, the terms of a contract should be construed in favor of
labor.

The agreement binding both the employer and the employee is known as an
employment contract. However, the absence of an employment contract does
not indicate an absence of an employer employee relationship. When the
existence of the employer employee relationship is in question, the court has
generally applied the four fold test.
If the employer employee relationship can be established, the employer may not
terminate the service of the employee without a just or authorized cause.

Illegal recruitment and estafa are entirely different offenses and neither one
necessarily includes or is necessarily included in the other. A person who is
convicted of illegal recruitment may in addition, be convicted of estafa under Art.
315, par 2(a) of the Revised Penal code (People vs. Billaber, G.R. No. 114967-68,
January 26, 2004). In the same manner, a person acquitted of illegal recruitment
may be held liable for estafa. Double jeopardy will not set in because illegal
recruitment is malum prohibitum, in which there is no necessity to prove criminal
intent, whereas estafa is malum in se, in the prosecution of which, proof or criminal
intent is necessary.
