DOLE releases P600,000 for victimsThe Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) announced that it has released P600,000 in financial aid to the victims of the Davao bombing incident. Labor and Employment Secretary Silvestre Bello III said the donation came from its attached agencies, the Employees Compensation Commission (ECC) and the Occupational Safety Health Center (OSHC). “I would like to thank both agencies for donating P300,000 each,” Bello said during a press conference last Tuesday. He said they are currently trying to source more funds from their other attached agencies to give additional assistance to the Davao victims. Last Monday, Bello went to Davao City to extend his condolences to the victims and to assess the possible help DOLE could provide them.
