It sure sounds like PLDT tried to get around the law but it seems that DOLE is forcing them to pay their wronfully terminated employees 51.6 million pesos.
Good for DOLE.
Maybe DOLE will go after Robinson, Lee Plaza, et al soon.
It seems you have not been getting the texts from PLDT saying that the DOLE has forced all their contractors to quit working for them. Just wait a while, sir. PLDT defends its service contractors
