prior to the marcos martial law era in the philippines, all labor laws were not codified. president marcos tasked a committee from the then-called department of labor (now the department of labor and employment or dole) to consolidate all the existing labor laws of the philippines. the committee was composed of: amado g. inciong, the then undersecretary of labor, acting as the chairman of the committee, director ricardo castro, the head of the subcommittee on labor relations, director diego atienza, the head of the subcommittee on labor standards, and director rony diaz, the head of the subcommittee on employment and training. the result was presidential decree no. 442 ("pd 442") or "a decree instituting the labor code and consolidating labor and social laws to afford protection to labor, promote employment and human resources development and insure the industrial peace based on social justice," otherwise known as the "labor code of the philippines". the consolidation was finished on 1 may 1974 and took effect on 1 november 1974.
