DOLE stops Antipolo project after deadly landslide

THE DEPARTMENT of Labor and Employment (DOLE) on Friday issued a work stoppage order against the contractors for a two-story residential building in Antipolo City, a day after a landslide at the project site killed three laborers. Regional Director Ma. Zenaida Angara-Campita issued the order upon the recommendation of the DOLE officer in charge in Rizal province, Marivic Martinez, who inspected the construction site on Marcos Highway, Sta. Cruz, in Cogeo. According to Martinez, the contractors, RAC Construction and Mhaerick Corp., allegedly failed to submit their respective construction safety and health program to the city government. The workers who were killed—Darwin, Darrell and Rene Villegas—carried out their job without the required protective gear, the official also noted. Investigation showed that five workers were erecting steel frames for a retaining wall when a nearby mound of soil eroded around 8:30 a.m. on Thursday. Three of the workers were crushed to death and their bodies were buried for hours before being recovered. The two other workers, Felix Dulay and Jesse Llorica sustained leg fractures. The owner of the residential building was identified as Jacintito Catipay. Jocelyn R. Uy
