Quezon City – Demonstrating its steadfast commitment to fair and efficient labor dispute resolution, the National Labor Relations Commission – National Capital Region (NLRC-NCR) Arbitration Branch successfully facilitated the settlement of a claim for death benefits amounting to ₱3,240,500.00 in favor of the heirs of a deceased seafarer.

The settlement was reached through the efforts of Labor Arbiter Salvador C. Alcuino, Jr., who presided over the proceedings between the heirs and the concerned maritime agency. Representing the total death compensation and related benefits, the amount is due to the seafarer’s family under applicable labor and maritime laws.

This case highlights the vital role of the NLRC in safeguarding the rights and welfare of Filipino workers and their families, particularly in the maritime sector.

The NLRC remains committed to upholding social justice and promoting industrial peace by providing accessible, responsive, and equitable resolution mechanisms to all Filipino workers and employers.
