Until a more knowledgeable member responds, my wife's translation of this is that a boy aged 13 died in Bacong from electrocution after touching a cable, possibly broken by falling vegetation. The local mayor is helping the family.
Very tragic, R.I.P. Why the mayor has to help the family and not NORECO ? And by the way, the amounts that are given to the families in such cases are often ridiculous and a shame. But it seems a life here is not worth more than 20 K or so. Gesendet von meinem SM-N950F mit Tapatalk
Lawsuits are expensive and take a long time to resolve. Liability is complex in civil court and is something that would need to be determined by a judge. The family probably needs immediate assistance and it is something that local politicians do here.
I'd have thought NORECO would have compensated the family, not going to bring the child back, but ease the pain and help with the funeral cost.
