5/28/2020 E-Library - Information At Your Fingertips: Printer Friendly We find no ambiguity in the language of this cited CBA provision. There can be no interpretation of its meaning other than that Pellazar cannot be entitled to the full disability benefits of US$75,000 as the company-designated physicians had not certified him to be permanently unfit for further sea service. He is entitled only to the Grade 10 disability rating certified by Drs. De Guzman and Banaga equivalent to US$10,075.01 pursuant to the POEA-SEC which provides that “in case of permanent total or partial disability of the seafarer caused by injury or illness the seafarer shall be compensated in accordance with the schedule of benefits enumerated in the Contract.”[29] B. Award for attorney’s fees Lastly, the award of attorney’s fees is without legal basis as the petitioners, in light of the above discussion, are well within their rights under the POEA-SEC and the CBA to deny Pellazar’s claim for permanent total disability benefits. WHEREFORE, premises considered, we GRANT the petition. The assailed decision and resolution of the Court of Appeals are SET ASIDE. The decision dated November 29, 2008 of the National Labor Relations Commission is REINSTATED. SO ORDERED. Carpio, (Chairperson), Del Castillo, Perez, and Perlas-Bernabe, JJ., concur.
