Morado certify this report true and correct with the best of my knowledge and reserve the right, modify, ratify and/or enlarge this statement at any time and place, According to the law.[6] In a Decision dated February 12, 2002, the Labor Arbiter, after hearing, dismissed the case for lack of merit. The Labor Arbiter held that, while it is true that Jacinto Teringtering died during the effectivity of his contract of employment and that he died of asphyxiation, nevertheless, his death was the result of his deliberate or intentional jumping into the sea. Thus, his death was directly attributable to him. Teringtering then appealed before the NLRC which affirmed in toto the ruling of the Labor Arbiter. Unsatisfied, Teringtering filed a petition for certiorari under Rule 65 before the Court of Appeals and sought the nullification of the NLRC Resolution, dated February 20, 2003, which affirmed the Labor Arbiter’s Decision dated February 12, 2002. On July 8, 2004, the CA reversed and set aside the assailed Resolution of the NLRC, the dispositive portion of which reads: WHEREFORE, premises considered, the Resolution dated February 20, 2003 is hereby REVERSED and SET ASIDE. Respondents Crewlink, Inc. and Gulf Marine Services are hereby DECLARED jointly and severally liable and, accordingly, are directed to pay deceased Jacinto Teringtering's beneficiaries, namely respondent Editha Teringtering and her daughter Eimaereach Rose de Gracia, the Philippine Currency equivalent to US$50,000.00, and an additional amount of US$7,000, both at the exchange rate prevailing at the time of payment.
