Statement of DOLE on the passing of Joji Aragon

Please join us in praying for the eternal repose of the soul of Undersecretary Joji Aragon, head of the advocacy/productivity/legislative cluster of the Department of Labor and Employment.

The entire DOLE family, headed by Secretary Silvestre H. Bello III, grieves her untimely demise.

She succumbed to cardiac arrest due to the dreaded COVID-19 this morning. It is believed that she contracted the virus following a procedure she underwent in the second week of December last year.

Our deepest sympathies and condolences to her bereaved family.
