[30] Upon sign-off from the vessel for medical treatment, the seafarer is entitled to sickness allowance equivalent to his basic wage until he is declared fit to work or the degree of permanent disability has been assessed by the company-designated physician but in no case shall this period exceed one hundred twenty (120) days. (Emphasis Ours). [31] Id. [32] Rollo, p. 321. [33] G.R. No. 193047, March 3, 2014, 717 SCRA 624, 626. [34] G.R. No. 201072, April 2, 2014, <http://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/pdf/web/viewer.html? file=/jurisprudence/2014/april2014/201072.pdf> (Last visited: May 12, 2015). In this case, the Court said: "Sibug was repatriated and arrived in the country on January 15, 2007 after his Ryndam injury. He had surgery on his injured hand. On September 7, 2007, the company-designated doctor issued a medical report that Sibug has a permanent but incomplete disability. But this medical report failed to state the degree of Sibug's disability. Only in an email dated September 28, 2007, copy of which was attached as Annex 3 of petitioners' position paper, was Sibug's disability from his Ryndam injury classified as a grade 10 disability by the company-designated doctor. By that time, however, the 240-day extended period when the company-designated doctor must give the definite assessment of Sibug's disability had lapsed." [35] G.R. No. 177578, January 25, 2012, 664 SCRA 134, 147-148. [36] G.R. No. 203804, April 15, 2015.
