Four workers of the local government of Pili, Camarines Sur have died over the past days as the sweltering heat continued to take its toll on local residents.
According to the GMA Regional TV Balitang Bicolandia report Thursday by Cris Novelo on 24 Oras, the rural health unit of Pili town was looking into the possibility that the extreme heat was a factor in their deaths."Actually pinapakuha ko ang death certificate nito to check kung ano ang other details ng kanilang kalagayan na posibleng nag-contribute para mamatay sila," said Dr. Rafael Salles, head of the Pili MHO.
In the wake of their deaths, the Pili LGU has recommended adjustments to the working hours of its workers who spend long hours under the sun.Pili Mayor Tomas Bongalonta said, "Halimbawa 'yung traffic, kung minsan, mainit pa eh. Talagang ma-traffic na eh, dapat nandiyan sila... Kaya lang sabi ko, dapat mag-adjust kami. Halimbawa, one hour ka lang diyan, papalitan ka na ulit.
