I have a question regarding a work-related injury sustained by my brother, who is a seafarer. He was repatriated to the Philippines on July 20, 2024, due to a hand injury. Upon his arrival, he immediately consulted their company-designated physician. After a month, the company-designated physician issued a fit-to-work certification to him. Unsatisfied with the results, he consulted his own choice of physician, believing that he was totally and permanently disabled from working.
