The 18-year-old, identified as Jomar Junco, had reportedly only been working at the factory for two weeks when the incident happened in June this year.
According to local police, the man caught his right arm in the meat mixer and was then dragged into the machine.
Reports said that the accident took place at around 7.30am and the emergency services arrived on the scene about 9am.
Colleague Carl David Carlos turned off the machine when Junco's top half was already inside the mixer, but despite his best efforts was unable to save Junco.

Local funeral director Ardee Porras said that the body was still intact when it was taken out of the mixer.
