Who administers the Employees' Compensation Program?

• A. Employees' Compensation Commission
• B. Social Security System
• C. Department of Labor and Employment
• D. Government Service Insurance System

Answer: (A)

The Employees’ Compensation Commission is the agency that administers the Employees’ Compensation Program. In the Philippines, the ECC is the government body responsible for delivering the ECP, which provides benefits to workers who suffer a work-related injury, illness, or death. It handles eligibility determination, benefit computation, and payment from the EC Fund, and operates under the Department of Labor and Employment. The other organizations—such as social security systems for private or government employees—handle different programs and are not the ones administer­ing the Employees’ Compensation Program.
