| The above pronouncement was reiterated in subsequent cases, particularly Veritas Maritime Corporation v. Gepanaga, Jr.;[64] Daraug v. KGJS Fleet Management Manila, Inc.;[65] Bahia Shipping Services, Inc. v. Hipe;[66] Magsaysay Maritime Corporation v. Simbajon;[67] and Ayungo v. Beamko Shipmanagement Corporation.[68] | |||||

| Likewise in Magsaysay Maritime Corp. v. Simbajon,[27] the seafarer's claim of permanent and total disability was not upheld. A finding by the company-designated doctor that the seafarer would need further treatment beyond the initial 120-day period resulted in the extension of the period for the declaration of the existence of a permanent partial or total disability to 240 days. Thus, contrary to the seafarer's claim in the said case, his inability to resume work after the lapse of more than 120 days from the time he suffered his illness did not by itself automatically entitle him to permanent and total disability benefits. | |||||
