SUGGESTED ANSWER:


No, the petition will not prosper. Congress, in debating the bill seeking to enable absolute divorce, is dealing with a political question. Any order issued by a court to Congress which is debating on a political questions would violate the principle of separation of powers, considering that legislative power is vested in Congress.

In Sevilla v. Court of Appeals, we observed the need to consider the existing economic conditions prevailing between the parties, in addition to the standard of right-of-control [...] to give a clearer picture in determining the existence of an employer-employee relationship based on an analysis of the totality of economic circumstances of the worker.  Thus, the determination of the relationship between employer and employee depends upon the circumstances of the whole economic activi...
