Regularization is not a management prerogative; rather it is the nature of employment that determines it.

The presumption is that when the work done is an integral part of the regular business of the employer and when the worker, relative to the employer, does not furnish an independent business or professional service, such work is a regular employment of such employee and not an independent contractor.

Control over the manner or method of doing the work characterizes employment. In contrast, control only of the desired result of the work often indicates a contracting arrangement.

An insurance premium is the agreed price for assuming and carrying the risk, which is the consideration paid to an insurer for undertaking to indemnify the insured against a specified peril.

Notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, no policy or contract of insurance issued by an insurance company is valid and binding.

The non-payment of the balance of the premium due does not produce the cancellation of the contract unless, by express stipulation, it is provided that the policy shall in that event be suspended or shall lapse.

A contract of insurance is an agreement whereby one undertakes for a consideration to indemnify another against loss, damage or liability arising from an unknown or contingent event. (Section 2 par. (a), Insurance Code)

It is perfected by the meeting of the minds, or the concurrence of the offer and the acceptance with respect to the object and consideration constituting the contract.

An application is a mere offer which requires the overt act of the insurer for it to ripen into a contract. (Virginia Perez v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 112329, January 28, 2000)

Delay in acting on the application does not constitute acceptance even though the insured has forwarded his first premium with his application. (Virginia Perez v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 112329, January 28, 2000)
