Initial findings of the Department of Labor and Employment in its probe of the Eddie Garcia death has underscored the need for the passage of an occupational safety and health standards law in the entertainment industry.

1Pacman Partylist Rep. Michael “Mikee” Romero lauded DOLE for conducting an investigation into the incident but urged officials to release the full results of its probe.

Romero, son of Garcia’s partner Lilibeth Lagman Romero, filed House Bill 181 a few days after Garcia’s death. Under HB 181, safety and health hazards in the workplace should be identified while the presence of safety officers during shootings, entertainment events should be guaranteed.
