The STAR / Edd Gumban, file MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Risa Hontiveros on Monday called anew for the passage of the bill granting stronger protection to delivery riders after one of them was found lifeless while resting on his motorcycle. This comes after delivery Noel Escote was found dead on his motorcycle in Pasig City over the weekend. A police report quoted in an Inquirer report pointed out that "no external injury was noted" in a cursory examination. “Let his death be a wake up call to our colleagues in the legislature to immediately act on pending bills that will make sure that the rights and welfare of the increasing number of gig economy workers are upheld,” Hontiveros said in a statement sent to reporters Monday.
