[G.R. No. 211600. June 29, 2015.]
NORTH SEA MARINE SERVICES CORPORATION/V-SHIPS LEISURE, INC., AND/OR ROSALINA B. CERDINA, petitioners, vs. RENANTE G. CABOBOY, respondent.
NOTICE
Sirs/Mesdames :
Please take notice that the Court, First Division, issued a Resolution dated June 29, 2015 which reads as follows:
"G.R. No. 211600 (North Sea Marine Services Corporation/V-Ships Leisure, Inc., and/or Rosalina B. Cerdina v. Renante G. Caboboy). — The petitioners' motion for an extension of thirty (30) days from May 24, 2015 within which to file a reply to respondent's comment on the petition for review on certiorari is GRANTED; and respondent's compliance with the Resolution dated February 2, 2015, submitting the soft copy in compact disc of the PDF file of the comment on the petition for review on certiorari; the notice of transfer and change of address of J.S. Torregoza and Associate, counsel for respondent, to Room 502-A Web-Jet Building, 64 Quezon Avenue corner BMA Avenue, Quezon City and requesting that any processes, notices, summons, orders, decision be served at the said address; and the petitioners' reply to the comment on the petition for review on certiorari are NOTED.
After a judicious review of the records, the Court resolves to DENY the petition and AFFIRM the November 28, 2013 Decision 1 and February 28, 2014 Resolution 2 of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. SP No. 128761 for failure of petitioners North Sea Marine Services Corporation/V-Ships Leisure, Inc., and/or Rosalina B. Cerdina to sufficiently show that the CA committed any reversible error in granting respondent Renante G. Caboboy's (Caboboy) claim for disability benefits against them.
As correctly ruled by the CA, Caboboy convincingly proved that he suffered his slipped disc injury during the effectivity of his employment contract, as well as its causal connection to his work as environmental technician. 3 Moreover, the medical assessments of his independent doctors declaring his disability total and permanent, as corroborated by the findings of the medical director of Carnival Cruise Lines stating that he was ineligible for rehiring, clearly negated the fit-to-work certification issued by the company-designated physician, thereby warranting his claim for total and permanent disability benefits.
SO ORDERED."
Very truly yours,
(SGD.) EDGAR O. ARICHETADivision Clerk of Court
