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.
