BERSAMIN, J. |
||||
| Considering that existing laws always form part of any contract, and are deemed incorporated in each and every contract,[28] the definition of legal dependents under the aforecited social legislations applies herein in the absence of a contrary or different definition mutually intended and adopted by the parties in the CBA. Accordingly, the concurrence of a legitimate spouse does not disqualify a child or a parent of the employee from being a legal dependent provided substantial evidence is adduced to prove the actual dependency of the child or parent on the support of the employee. | |||||
