Pinoys killed in Qatar? DOLE checking

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is verifying the nationalities of migrant workers who were killed or injured in an accident in Qatar Sunday night.

Labor Secretary Patricia Sto. Tomas said she has directed the Philippine Overseas Labor Office (POLO) in Qatar to determine whether Filipinos were among the casualties when a wall collapsed at a construction site in Doha.

"Labor attaché Felicitas Bay has begun efforts to determine the nationalities of the two expatriate workers who were killed and the three who were injured in the accident," she said.
