A single mother died after she waited days for a bus home during lockdown in the Philippines. Michelle Silvertino, 33, was found unconscious on a footbridge along a major highway in the capital Manila.
The death of a single mother in the Philippines who died after trying to get a bus home during the country's coronavirus lockdown has led to widespread anger online, and prompted the government to look into how it treats stranded workers during the pandemic.
Michelle Silvertino, 33, was found unconscious on a footbridge along a major highway in the capital Manila on June 5. The mother of four had tried to catch a bus to her home in Calabanga, Camarines Sur province -- more than 400 kilometers southeast of Manila -- but because of Covid-19 quarantine measures no public transport was operating, according to CNN affiliate CNN Philippines.
