MANILA, Philippines – A Palace administrative aide died on Thursday, July 14, after an apparent fall from the 4th floor of Mabini Hall in the Malacañang complex.

Press Secretary Trixie Cruz-Angeles made the announcement in a streamed video at noon the same day, identifying the aide as Mario Castro, who worked under the Information Communications and Technology Office of the Deputy Executive Secretary for Finance and Accounting.

No other details about Castro’s death was made available as of publishing, but Angeles said the government would be extending help to his family.
