MANILA, Philippines - Energy Secretary Carlos Jericho Petilla has donated his salary for 2013 to the linemen who helped in the power restoration efforts in the aftermath of Super Typhoon Yolanda.

In a text message, Petilla said one month’s salary, though, went to survivors and the families of fatalities of the Semirara coal mine collapse in February. A portion of Semirara’s coal mine in Panian, Antique collapsed and killed at least five miners.

He did not disclose the amount donated.
