| Moreover, petitioner's invocation of the arbitration clause defeats the purpose of arbitration in relation to the construction business. The state has continuously encouraged the use of dispute resolution mechanisms to promote party autonomy.[83] In LICOMCEN, Incorporated v. Foundation Specialists, Inc.,[84] this court upheld the CIAC's jurisdiction in line with the state's policy to promote arbitration: The CIAC was created through Executive Order No. 1008 (E.O. 1008), in recognition of the need to establish an arbitral machinery that would expeditiously settle construction industry disputes. The prompt resolution of problems arising from or connected with the construction industry was considered of necessary and vital for the fulfillment of national development goals, as the construction industry provides employment to a large segment of the national labor force and is a leading contributor to the gross national product.[85] (Citation omitted) | |||||
