6/7/2020 E-Library - Information At Your Fingertips: Printer Friendly On January 22 and 23, 2004, Godinez underwent psychological tests. On February 6, 2004, Salvador issued another report[13] which confirmed that Godinez was suffering from bipolar disorder, which "has a good prognosis with adequate treatment" but "is not an occupational related illness." On February 13, 2004, Godinez was again examined at Sachly, and Salvador's Report[14] of even date states that he "is in euthymic mood at present" with continuation of scheduled oral medication. On March 12, 2004, an unsigned Medical Progress Report[15] on the findings of the examination conducted on Godinez on even date was ostensibly issued by Sachly. It contained findings that Godinez was "asymptomatic and doing well with no recurrence of depressive episodes;" that Godinez "verbalized a feeling of wellness;" that his "[v]ital signs were stable;" that he was in a "euthymic mood, and is able to sleep and eat well;" and finally, that he was "found to be functionally stable at present." That very same day, or on March 12, 2004, Godinez was made to sign a prepared form/document entitled "Certificate of Fitness for Work"[16] whose particulars were mechanically filled out. Godinez signed this document as the declarant, and, interestingly, Sachly's Medical Coordinator, Dr. Salvador, signed as witness. The document was likewise notarized. It reads as follows: I, Eduard Godinez, for myself and my heirs, do hereby release Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd. and Career Phils. Shipmgt. Inc. of all actions, claims, demands, etc., in connection with being released on this date as fit for duty. In recognizing this Certificate of Fitness for Work, I hold the said Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd. and its Agent Career Phils. Shipmgt. Inc. free from all liabilities as consequence thereof. Finally, I hereby declare that this Certificate of Fitness for Work may be pleaded in bar or any proceedings of the law that may be taken by any government agency, and I do promise to defend the right of said Career Phils. Shipmgt. Inc. and Columbia Shipmanagement Ltd. in connection with this Certificate of Fitness for Work. Witness my hand this 12 day of March 2004 in the City of Manila, Philippines.
