	GR No. 144619 2005-11-11	C. PLANAS COMMERCIAL v. NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS TINGA AUSTRIA-MARTINEZ, J.
It has been held that not all quitclaims are per se invalid or against public policy, except (1) where there is clear proof that the waiver was wangled from an unsuspecting or gullible person, or (2) where the terms of settlement are unconscionable on their face. In these cases, the law will step in to annul the questionable transactions.[20] Such quitclaim and release agreements are regarded as ineffective to bar the workers from claiming the full measure of their legal rights.[21]
