Practice question
An agency recruits a worker for an overseas contract. The contract is later amended abroad during its implementation. The agency argues that any foreign amendment automatically extinguishes its Section10 liability for otherwise covered claims. Which is correct?
- Every foreign amendment creates automatic agency immunity
- Section10 expressly continues the stated liability during the contract and does not let local or foreign substitution or modification defeat it as asserted
- Only the worker remains liable after an amendment
- The employer may erase Philippine statutory remedies by changing a heading
- The agency’s name on the original recruitment record is legally irrelevant
