Practice question
An overseas employment defendant invokes the same one-year Bahrain limitation rejected in Cadalin for the same protected labor-claim setting. It argues a borrowing provision eliminates all Philippine public-policy analysis. Which is best?
- Cadalin rejected that foreign limitation in the stated setting because enforcement would contravene Philippine labor-protection policy.
- A borrowing rule always overrides every public-policy concern.
- Every foreign one-year period is invalid for every imaginable claim.
- The plaintiff may ignore every Philippine limitation period too.
- Only the employer's incorporation date matters.
