Tulfo conducts surprise inspection at NLRC
The Philippine Star
|October 15, 2025
Amid the Senate recess, Sen. Raffy Tulfo conducted an unannounced inspection at the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) main office in Quezon City on Oct. 13.
-
As the new chairman of the Senate committee on labor and employment, Tulfo met with workers who were victims of unfair labor practices and spoke with them to check on their situations and the status of their cases filed with the NLRC.
The first group he met consisted of 28 former factory workers from W.L. Foods Corp., who said they had been earning below the minimum wage since 2010.
They also alleged that the company failed to remit their SSS, PhilHealth and Pag-IBIG contributions, as well as their 13th month pay, overtime pay and other benefits.
Some of the workers had already met Tulfo during his inspection of W.L. Foods in Valenzuela in May 2025, where they exposed the company’s illegal piece-rate, or pakyawan system.
Following that inspection, W.L. allegedly refused to renew their contracts, prompting the workers to file illegal dismissal cases and demand back wages.
