Practice question: Expanded Maternity Leave (RA 11210)

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

After a qualified live childbirth, the mother elects to allocate up to seven maternity-leave days to the child’s father and complies with applicable requirements. Must they be married to each other for this allocation provision?
  1. Yes, in every case
  2. Yes, only RA8187 can supply any leave
  3. No; RA11210 expressly permits allocation to the father whether or not married to the mother
  4. Yes, unless the father owns the company
  5. Yes, because allocation automatically means paternity leave under RA8187
