OFFICIAL PUBLIC STATEMENT
The Company is issuing this statement to address recent inquiries regarding claims made by a former employee concerning government mandatory benefits and 13th-month pay. We intend to clarify the facts and correct misinformation to protect the reputation of our institution.
1. On Administrative Transition and Compliance
Following the company’s institutionalization in Biñan in 2024, the processing of government mandatory accounts was managed by a third-party compliance firm. Due to the unforeseen closure of said firm, the company’s records were temporarily affected.
The Company’s executives, working alongside the then-HR and Admin Manager, exerted significant effort to manually file and request condonation from each government institution.
By the time of the HR and Admin Manager’s resignation, the Company had successfully secured all necessary account numbers and was fully on track with its compliance.
2. On the Deduction of Statutory Employee Shares
Under Philippine Labor Law, the employee’s share of SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG contributions is a personal statutory obligation.
The former HR and Admin Manager claimed her share should not be deducted from her 13th-month pay, alleging administrative delay as a company error.
However, as the HR and Admin Manager, the individual was a direct signatory to the condonation requests and was the primary officer responsible for overseeing these records.
The Company simply fulfilled its legal duty to deduct and remit these shares to the proper agencies, as required by law.
3. On the Resolution of the Complaint (NLRC/SEnA)
We wish to highlight that "NO FORMAL CASE" was filed or pursued against the Company. A conference was held via the NLRC/SEnA process where the Company demonstrated its compliance in good faith.
Despite the individual’s refusal to acknowledge her statutory obligations, the Company in a gesture of goodwill provided "Financial Assistance" to cover certain costs.
The matter was effectively dismissed during the conference, and the Company was not ordered to pay any claims, as all legal obligations had been met.
4. On the Public Notice of Disassociation and Data Security
The Company acted with utmost professional courtesy regarding the publication of the notice of non-connection:
Good Faith Timeline: Under legal advice, the Company intentionally withheld the public notice during the entire mediation period from October 2025 until its final resolution to maintain a neutral environment.
Protection of Sensitive Data: Given that the role of HR and Admin Manager granted the individual access to critical sensitive data including financial records, employee personal information, customer databases, and intellectual property, the public notice was a necessary security measure. This informs the public and our partners that she is no longer authorized to represent the Company or access proprietary assets.
5. Formal Legal Notice Regarding Misrepresentation
The Company takes the integrity of its operations and the reputation of its leadership seriously.
Our legal team is currently reviewing and preparing necessary legal charges against individuals who have misrepresented the Company’s compliance status or made defamatory statements against our Executives.
We will not hesitate to pursue criminal and civil actions, including charges for Cyberlibel, to protect the Company from malicious and unfounded claims.
The Company has acted with transparency, shouldering all penalties caused by the third-party firm's closure to protect our workforce. We consider this matter resolved.
