Question

Tina Aquino, a domestic helper in the household of Fidel Aldeguer, filed an action in the Regional Office of the DOLE for recovery of unpaid wages amounting to P3,500.00 and P1,499.00 as moral damages. Aquino claimed that the amount of P3,500.00 is equivalent to the P500.00 a month she failed to receive for the last seven months of her employment with Aldeguer, based on their agreed P2,500.00 monthly salary. Aldeguer moved to have Aquino's complaint dismissed, alleging that as a domestic helper Ms. Aquino should have first brought the matter to the Lupong Barangay. If you were the Regional Director, how would you resolve the matter? (1994 BAR)
