Practice question
A covered award includes established moral damages as well as salary arrears. The agency argues its liability can never extend to damages because it did not physically commit every act abroad. What is the correct scope analysis?
- Section10 solidarity reaches the properly established covered award, not salary alone
- Only fees paid directly to the agency can ever be claimed
- The agency is automatically immune to every damages award
- Only the foreign court can recognize damages under Philippine law
- The worker must delete every nonwage component regardless of basis
