MANILA, Philippines — Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III has called out a government corporation overseen by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) for giving cash assistance of only P10,000 to workers afflicted with the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) despite the agency’s funds reaching as much as P90 billion.

The Employees Compensation Commission (ECC) has decided to peg money assistance for the workers, including front-line workers, at only P10,000, Bello disclosed during an online press briefing last week.
