    Julio C. Espere was hired as a ship's bosun by NFD International Manning Agents for a nine month contract. Five months into his deployment, Espere began experiencing dizziness, body malaise, and chills and was diagnosed with uncontrolled hypertension, malaise, and psychosomatic illness, rendering him unfit for duty. Espere filed a complaint claiming disability benefits which was dismissed by the labor arbitrator but favored by the National Labor Relations Commission.

    JULIO C. ESPERE vs.

    NFD INTERNATIONAL MANNING AGENTS

    G.R. No. 212098 July 26, 2017

    Facts:

    1. On June 21, 2011, petitioner Julio C. Espere was hired as a Bosun, a ship's officer
    in charge of equipment and the crew. ,
     by respondent NFD International Manning Agents, Inc. (NFD)
     for and in behalf of its foreign principal Target Ship Management Pte Ltd. on
    board the vessel M V. Kalpana Prem, for a period of nine (9) months, with a
    basic monthly salary of US$730.00.3
    2. Prior to his employment and embarkation, petitioner underwent a Pre-
    Employment Medical Examination where he was pronounced "Fit For Sea
    Duty."4
    3. Around five (5) months into his deployment, petitioner complained that he was
    feeling dizzy, had body malaise and chills.
    4. In Vancouver, Canada, he was diagnosed of suffering from
     "uncontrolled hypertension",
     "malaise NYD", and
     "psychosomatic illness".
    5. He was also declared unfit for duty and was repatriated back to the Philippines.5
    6. On May 16, 2012, petitioner filed a Complaint25 against respondents claiming
    disability benefits for permanent disability and damages.
    7. LA dismissed the complaint.
    8. NLRC favored the employee.
    9. During the pendency of the petition before the CA, the LA, on July 30, 2013,
    issued a Writ of Execution. In compliance with the writ, respondents deposited
    the judgment award before the NLRC Cashier.33

    Issue:

    Whether or not the employee should restitute the executed award to the employer.

    Held:

    Yes.

    SC held that the employee was unable to present substantial evidence to show that his
    work conditions caused or, at the least, increased the risk of contracting his illness.
    Neither was he able to prove that his illness was preexisting and that it was aggravated
    by the nature of his employment. Thus, the LA and the CA correctly ruled that he is not
    entitled to any disability compensation.

    In view of respondents' prior satisfaction of the writ of execution issued by the LA while
    the case was pending with the CA, coupled with petitioner's admission that he "had
    already received the full judgment award of this case,"60 the latter, having been proven
    not entitled to such an award, should, thus, return the same to respondents. This is in
    consonance with Section 18, Rule XI of the 2011 NLRC Rules of Procedure, as
    amended by En Banc Resolution Nos. 11-12, Series of 2012 and 05-14, Series of 2014,
    which provides:
    RESTITUTION. - Where the executed judgment is totally or partially reversed or
    annulled by the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court with finality and restitution is
    so ordered, the Labor Arbiter shall, on motion, issue such order of restitution of the
    executed award, except reinstatement wages paid pending appeal.
