Sariling paggamot ang kanyang ginawa sa tulong na rin ng kanyang asawa.

The general rule on employee compensation is that for the sickness and the resulting disability or death to be compensable, the sickness must be the result of an occupational disease which is listed in the Amended Rules of Employee Compensation (Section 1 [b] Rule III). If not listed, proof must be shown that the risk of contracting the disease is increased by the working conditions. This is known as the "increased risk theory" applied in this case of Rona, a doctor.

Hindi ito nagustuhan ni Pete. Halata sa mukha niya ang galit at tangkang pagsuway. Nakita pa ng ibang kasamahan na hinahawakan ni Pete ang manggo ng kanyang baril.

The general rule on employee compensation is that for the sickness and the resulting disability or death to be compensable, the sickness must be the result of an occupational disease which is listed in the Amended Rules of Employee Compensation (Section 1 [b] Rule III). If not listed, proof must be shown that the risk of contracting the disease is increased by the working conditions. This is known as the "increased risk theory" applied in this case of Rona, a doctor.

Hindi ito nagustuhan ni Pete. Halata sa mukha niya ang galit at tangkang pagsuway. Nakita pa ng ibang kasamahan na hinahawakan ni Pete ang manggo ng kanyang baril.
