DEL CASTILLO, J.:   Money claims arising from employer-employee relations, including those specified in the Standard Employment Contract for Seafarers, prescribe within three years from the time the cause of action accrues.1[1] However, for death benefit claims to prosper, the seafarer’s death must have occurred during the effectivity of said contract.   This Petition for Review assails the January 31, 2005 Decision2[2] and the April 4, 2005 Resolution3[3] of the Court of Appeals (CA) in CA-G.R. SP. No. 85584. The CA dismissed the petition for certiorari filed before it assailing the May 7, 2003 Decision4[4] of the National Labor Relations Commission (NLRC) ordering petitioners to pay to Evelyn J. Navarra (Evelyn), the surviving spouse of deceased Federico U. Navarra, Jr. (Federico), death compensation, allowances of the three minor children, burial expenses plus 10% of the total monetary awards as and for attorney's fees.   Factual Antecedents 1 [1] LABOR CODE, Art. 291. 2 [2] 3 [3] Id. at 7. 4 [4] Id. at 386-395.
