Labor Chief shares result of probe on Eddie Garcia

Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello shared some portions of the investigation result launched after the death of veteran actor Eddie Garcia.

Garcia died after sustaining a neck fracture following an accident while taping for a Kapuso teleserye.

“There was lack of compliance with the requirement that in every activity there should be a safety officer… They didn’t have one. Otherwise, Eddie Garcia would not have died,” Bello said in an ambush interview with reporters on Wednesday.

The family has yet to issue a comment on the results of the investigation.

Meanwhile, GMA Network has also finished its probe on the incident but has yet to divulge the results.

Garcia left behind seven decades of showbiz career. He will always be remembered as ‘Manoy’ and ‘Uragon’ of the Philippine showbiz.
