A robust and clearly defined legal framework forms the backbone of a country’s social protection and national development policies. The study notes that our social protection sector seems to be well developed and have clear framework of laws and regulations with different actors with well-defined roles and controls in place to ensure good governance.47 Social protection in the country is not governed by a single, unified group of legislation, but rather by a collection of sector-specific or program-specific laws that evolve over time. 48 These laws cover areas such as labor regulation, pensions, migrant worker protection, and health insurance. Annex 3.1 shows a list compiled by the World Bank study, and additional laws and policies that govern social protection in the country. Laws that are of particular importance to the social protection framework of the country are: - NEDA-SDC Resolution #1, series of 2007, or the Adoption of a Philippine - definition of social protection. NEDA-SDC Resolution #3, series of 2012, or Approving and adopting the Social - Protection Operational Framework.
