Is it illegal to offer better paying jobs to PAL pilots?

"TWO Indian nationals reportedly trying to "pirate" pilots of the Philippine Airlines to India Jet Airways were questioned by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group Thursday....
..."It could have led to an exodus of PAL pilots to India," said Lachica referring to the efforts of the two to convince PAL pilots to join their company with the promise of better pay and other benefits."

I think there's a new law in the Philippines banning pilots from pursuing a better paying job and other benefits when working in PAL.
