Dr. Lim on June 26, 1997 and that of Dr. H. R. Varwig, company-designated physician of PPI, embodied in a letter dated August 7, 1997 sent to PPI with the assessment of Bastol’s disability at Grade 6 according to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) Schedule of Disability or Impediment. Bastol, assisted by counsel, signed the settlement conforme with PPI on January 22, 1998. The settlement, however, did not materialize due to the cancellation of the coverage by PIC of PSL’s vessel M/V Felicita.   Even after Bastol already filed the instant case on May 8, 1998, Jarmin, Jr. of OSCI instructed him to execute a SPA to authorize them to represent him (Bastol) in the auction sale of SPL’s vessel M/V Felicita. Forthwith, Bastol executed an SPA in favor of Jarmin, Jr. on August 12, 1998. Unfortunately, Bastol was later informed by Jarmin, Jr. that the amount they recovered from the auction sale of PSL’s vessel was not enough to cover his disability claim. Thus, with the collapse of the settlement agreement, Bastol was left with no option than to pursue the instant action. And in support of his medical finding of Grade 1 (120%) disability, Dr. Vicaldo executed an Affidavit on May 10, 2001.   OSCI vehemently objected31[31] to Bastol’s Manifestation/Compliance and the documentary evidence appended thereto.   31[31] Id. at 112-116, Most Vehement Objection to Complainant��s Manifestation/Compliance with Reiteration of Motion to Dismiss, dated November 26, 2001.
