    The PVTA appealed a CIR order requiring it to pay overtime compensation to employees beyond eight hours per day in accordance with Commonwealth Act No. 444. PVTA argued the CIR lacked jurisdiction, as PVTA exercised governmental functions and was exempt from the Act. The Supreme Court ruled that exercising governmental functions does not necessarily mean the CIR lacks jurisdiction. While PVTA may be exempt from the Act, this does not provide grounds to set aside the CIR order. The Court also noted there is no barrier to the government engaging in commercial activities like private enterprises, and the government has a responsibility to provide for public welfare.

    PVTA VS CIR

    G.R. NO. L-32052


    JULY 25, 1975
    PONENTE: FERNANDO, J.
    TOPIC: MEASURE OF RECOVERY (GOVERNMENT)
    FACTS:

    Petitioner Philippine Virginia Tobacco Administration (PVTA) calls for resolution


    in its appeal by certiorari from an order of respondent Court of Industrial
    Relations (CIR).
    PVTA was sued for the failure to pay overtime compensation beyond the
    regular eight hours a day workload in accordance with Commonwealth Act
    No. 444.
    PVTA raised the issue of special defences of lack of a cause of action and lack
    of jurisdiction. They insisted that its beyond the jurisdiction of respondent
    Court as it is exercising governmental functions governmental functions and
    that is exempt from the operation of Commonwealth Act No. 444.

    ISSUES:
    1. W/N the Court is devoid of jurisdiction
    HELD/RATIO:
    1. NO, exercising governmental functions and being exempt from the operation
    of Commonwealth Act No. 444 is not a necessary consequence that
    respondent Court is devoid of jurisdiction.
    The challenged order cannot be set aside on the additional argument
    that the Eight-Hour Labor Law is not applicable to it.
    There is no constitutional obstacle to a government pursuing line of
    endeavour formerly reserved for private enterprises. The government
    has an increased responsibility to provide for the general welfare of the
    people.
