The purpose of this presentation is to introduce executives and managers of auto co. to the salient provisions of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 as amended. This will facilitate proper compliance to rules about safety anti-pollution, insurance and road transport including motor vehicle legislation.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) just issued a press release announcing KBR, Inc. has its “first enforcement action against a company for using improperly restrictive language in confidentiality agreements with the potential to stifle the whistleblowing process.”
At issue, was KBR, Inc.’s standard practice of requiring employees interviewed in internal investigations to sign confidentiality statements with the following language:
“I understand that in order to protect the integrity of this review, I am prohibited from discussing any particulars regarding this interview and the subject matter discussed during the interview, without the prior authorization of the Law Department. I understand that the unauthorized disclosure of information may be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.”
The SEC found those terms violated Rule 21F-17, which prohibits companies from taking any action that would impede whistleblowers from reporting possible securities violations to the SEC.
In addition to agreeing to pay a fine of $130,000, KBR, Inc. also agreed to amend its standard confidentiality statement signed by employees interviewed during an internal investigation to read as follows:
“Nothing in this Confidentiality Statement prohibits me from reporting possible violations of federal law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. I do not need the prior authorization of the Law Department to make any such reports or disclosures and I am not required to notify the company that I have made such reports or disclosures.”

While deciding a claim petition, preferred under the Motor Vehicles Act,
1988, more often then not, Ld. Judges of
the Tribunals are vexed with such questions that it becomes difficult for
them to come to a certain conclusion, main reasons for such vexation are:
a)Non availability of judgments on certain points,
b)If judgments are available on some points, they run in
different directions,
c) Lack of reference book to decide, as to whether the
insurance policy is 'Act Policy' (Statutory Policy) or
'Comprehensive Policy' (Package Policy).

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

DIRECTING THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT CORPORATIONS AND
PUBLIC ENTERPRISES TO CONDUCT AN INQUIRY, IN AID OF LEGISLATION, TO
LOOK INTO THE POWERS AND MANDATE OF THE MANILA INTERNATIONAL
AIRPORT AUTHORITY (MIAA), IN THE LIGHT OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION OF ITS
MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO.8, SERIES OF 2014, ON THE INTEGRATION OF
THE INTERNATIONAL PASSENGER SERVICE FEE (IPSC) OR TERMINAL FEE IN
THE AIRLINE TICKETS WITH THE END IN VIEW OF DETERMINING WHETHER OR
NOT THE SAID MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR HAS ADDRESSED THE PROBLEMS
THAT MIAA SOUGHT TO ADDRESS.
WHEREAS, Article XII, Section 3 of the Philippine Constitution that the "State
shall afford full protection to labor, local and overseas, organized and unorganized, and
promote full employment and equality of employment opportunities for all;"
WHEREAS, Section 35 of Republic Act No. 8042, otherwise known as the
Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995, as amended by Republic Act No.
10022, exempts Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) from paying travel tax, airport fee or
terminal fee, and documentary stamp tax;
WHEREAS, while MIAA' Memorandum Circular No.8 (s2014), which integrates
the International Passenger Service Charge (IPSC) in the amount of Five Hundred Fifty
Pesos (PhP 550.00) for the alleged purpose of addressing the problem of congestion in
the airport terminals, there has been very strong objections coming from the public,
most especially the OFWs, against its implementation since it was issued in 2014;
WHEREAS, questions have been raised regarding the validity of the said
Memorandum Circular essentially on the ground that it violates Section 35 of Republic
Act No. 8042, as amended, as it does not distinguish between an international
passenger and an outbound OFW who is exempted from paying the IPSC or terminal
fee;
WHEREAS, while the said Memorandum Circular provides a procedure whereby
the OFWs could claim a refund of their payment of the terminal fee, it has been argued
that the Memorandum Circular is still invalid because it still requires payment of the
IPSC or terminal fee from OFWs who are not supposed to pay it at all in the first place
and that the refund procedure will be an added burden to the OFWs who have to line up
to claim and refund their terminal fee, which will cause congestion in the airport
terminals;
WHEREAS, upon the issuance of this circular, several Senate Resolutions were
1 Manila International Airport Authority.
2. filed questioning the validity of MIAA Memorandum Circular NO.8 (s2014);
WHEREAS, considering that the public hearing of the said Senate Resolutions
resulted to a finding that it is possible to adopt and program a computer system that will
recognize and thus not charge OFWs who are exempt from paying the IPSC or terminal
fee, Senate Resolution No. 11792
was filed and signed by no less than twenty (20)
senators strongly urging the MIAA to recall said circular pending the creation of such
computer system;
WHEREAS, despite the promulgation of Senate Resolution NO. 1179, MIAA
continues to implement the said Memorandum Circular to the detriment of OFWs who
mayor may not know about its implementation and are unduly burdened with having to
line up to get a refund of the payment of the IPSC or terminal fees that should not have
paid in the first place;3
WHEREAS, this representation has received reports that congestion in the
airport terminals remains the same despite the implementation of the said Memorandum
Circular and that numerous OFWs failed to get refunds;
WHEREAS, this representation further received reports that there has been
delays in the remittances of airlines of the terminal fees collected;4
WHEREAS, in view of the foregoing, there is a need to revisit the alleged
objectives of MIAA's Memorandum Circular No. 8 (s2014) and the results of its
implementation in order to enable the Senate to determine whether said Memorandum
Circular has indeed eased congestion in the airport terminals or is only detrimental not
only to the OFWs who are unduly burdened by the refund procedure but also to the
government which is likewise unduly burdened with having to handle the matters of the
delayed remittance of the terminal fees and of the terminal fees that have not been
refunded to the exempted OFWs;
WHEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the Senate
of the Philippines to the appropriate Senate committee to conduct an inquiry, in aid of
legislation, into the powers and mandate of the MIAA in connection with its issuance
and implementation of Memorandum Circular No.8, Series of 2014, which integrates
the payment of the International Passenger Service Fee (lPSC) or terminal fee in airline
tickets, with the end in view of determining whether or not said Memorandum Circular
has addressed the problem MIAA sought to address.

terminal fee integrated in the airline tickets are tasked to remit the same to the MIAA not later than the
end of the succeeding month from the time it is collected. It should be noted that from the total amount
collected, the airline is allowed to automatically deduct from their collections a service fee 3.5% based on
the number of passengers on board (Part VI [17] and IX [31]).
