Supreme Court
Sulit vs. Employees' Compensation Commission
G.R. No. L-48602
Gregorio Sulit, a mechanic, died of acute pyelonephritis and bronchopneumonia. His widow claimed compensation, arguing work conditions caused his illnesses. GSIS and ECC denied the claim, citing non-occupational diseases. The Supreme Court upheld the denial, ruling the diseases were not work-related under the Labor Code.
