PERALTA, J. |

| Citing Eastern Shipping Lines, Inc. v. Sedan,[20] this Court, in the more recent case of Eastern Shipping Lines v. Antonio,[21] held: But we must stress that this Court did allow, in several instances, the grant of financial assistance. In the words of Justice Sabino de Leon, Jr., now deceased, financial assistance may be allowed as a measure of social justice and exceptional circumstances, and as an equitable concession. The instant case equally calls for balancing the interests of the employer with those of the worker, if only to approximate what Justice Laurel calls justice in its secular sense. | |||||
