Sen. Raffy Tulfo wants charges filed against 23 business process outsourcing (BPO) companies in Cebu that allegedly put the lives of their employees in danger when a magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck the province recently.

Tulfo, chairman of the Senate committee on labor, yesterday said that one BPO company blocked the emergency exit of the facility to prevent employees from getting out, while another forced workers to immediately return to work after the quake.
