FACTS:

In this case, Jasmin Cuaresma, a nurse working in Saudi Arabia was found
dead. Her parents received insurance benefits from the OWWA (Overseas
Workers Welfare Administration). But when they found out based on an
autopsy conducted in the Philippines that Jasmin was raped and thereafter
killed, her parents (Simplicio and Mila Cuaresma) filed for death and
insurance benefits with damages from the recruitment and placement
agency which handled Jasmin (Becmen Service Exporter and Promotion,
Inc.).

The case reached the Supreme Court where the Supreme Court ruled that
since Becmen was negligent in investigating the true cause of death of
Jasmin ( a violation of RA 8042), it shall be liable for damages. The
Supreme Court also ruled that pursuant to Section 10 of RA 8042, the
directors and officers of Becmen are themselves jointly and solidarily liable
with Becmen.

Eufrocina Gumabay and the other officers of Becmen filed a motion for
leave to intervene. They aver that Section 10 is invalid.

ISSUE: Whether or not Section is invalid.

HELD:
No. As earlier discussed, Section 10 is valid. The liability of Gumabay et al is
not automatic. However, the SC reconsidered its earlier ruling that
Gumabay et al are solidarily and jointly liable with Becmen there being no
evidence on record which shows that they were personally involved in their
company’s particular actions or omissions in Jasmin’s case.
