Work-related illness as permanent total disability

Dear PAO,My husband recently got sick onboard a foreign vessel. He immediately notified his agency and principal about it, and he was brought to the nearest hospital where the ship docked. According to the doctor, my husband s gallbladder has thickened walls and he has an existing gall stone, thus, he needs to be repatriated for further treatment. After repatriation, the company physician here in the Philippines advised my husband to undergo treatment and was then declared fit to work. However, my husband disagrees as he continues to experience abdominal pain. He thus filed for permanent disability. He raised that the extreme heat he is experiencing in the kitchen, as well as the fatty diet he had on board, is the very reason why his gallbladder wall thickened and formed gallstones. However, his employer denied the same stating that his illness is not work-related because it is not among the illnesses enumerated in the POEA Memorandum Circular 9 series of 2000. Is this correct?Ju
