Based on the Compromise Agreement, Aldovino and her co-workers, except De Jesus,
executed an Affidavit of Quitclaim and Release.[15] On July 28, 2009, all of them
returned to the Philippines.[16] They eventually filed before the Labor Arbiter a case for
illegal termination, underpayment of salaries, human trafficking, illegal signing of
papers,[17] and other money claims such as overtime pay, return of placement fees,
and moral and exemplary damages.[18]
In its April 8, 2010 Decision,[19] the Labor Arbiter dismissed the Complaint for illegal
dismissal but ordered Gold and Green Manpower and Sage International to pay each of
the workers P20,000.00 as financial assistance.
On appeal, the National Labor Relations Commission, in its July 29, 2010 Decision,[20]
affirmed the Labor Arbiter's Decision. It found that Aldovino and her co-workers were
not illegally dismissed and that they voluntarily returned to the Philippines. Moreover,
the Compromise Agreement barred any further claims arising from their employment.
