4/29/2020 E-Library - Information At Your Fingertips: Printer Friendly (b) In CA-G.R. SP No. 105615, the petition is DISMISSED for lack of merit. No costs. SO ORDERED.[13] In so ruling, the CA affirmed the NLRC's determination that Inocencio's cancer of the tonsil, based on the certification of the company designated physician, Dr. Cruz, was not work-related. This determination, the CA observed, citing NYK-Fil Ship lvtanagement, Inc. v. Talavera,[14] was not rebutted by contrary findings. The CA also held that the mere allegations of Inocencio on the causal relation between his work and ailment are not substantial proof of such relation, and that the PEME before deployment did not render Inocencio's tonsil cancer work-related either, for the PEME is not considered exploratory enough to fully ascertain his health before deployment. However, the CA agreed with the NLRC and ruled that Transocean and General Marine must pay or reimburse Inocencio's medical expenses based on their offer and promise to shoulder the medical treatment, such as the '"chemotherapy of [Inocencio], costing [PhP] 500,000,"[15] pointing out that Inocencio, indeed, initially underwent some of the prescribed medical procedures until Transocean and General Marine unilaterally withdrew the payment of their obligation. Hence, the parties filed these petitions. The Issues In G.R. Nos. 194490-91, Transocean, et al. raise the sole ground that: The Honorable Court of Appeals committed grave abuse of discretion in ordering herein petitioners [Transocean, et al.] to pay or reimburse respondent [Inocencio's] medical expenses.[16] On the other hand, Inocencio raises the following assignment of errors in G.R. Nos. 194518 & 194524: 1. The Honorable Court of Appeals committed a reversible error in the questioned decision and resolution sufficient to warrant the exercise of this Honorable Court's discretionary appellate jurisdiction. The factual findings of the NLRC and the Court of Appeals arc not based on substantial evidence. 2. The decisions of the Court of Appeals are contrary to applicable law and jurisprudence. elibrary.judiciary.gov.ph/thebookshelf/showdocsfriendly/1/55782 4/10
