At least one dead in Philippine building collapse, 21 individuals missing
At least one person was verified dead after a building under construction collapsed in the Philippines on Sunday, representatives stated, as rescuers scoured the rubble for 21 individuals listed as missing.
Representatives stated an probe had been launched into what caused the collapse of the multi-storey building in the metro of Angeles, north of the capital, Manila.
Rescuers at the scene could be seen clambering over a mound of concrete slabs and mangled steel as they searched for survivors. They used trained recovery effort dogs, heartbeat detection devices and heavy equipment to sift through the debris.
Representatives stated the person verified to have died was a 65-year-old Malaysian national whose body had been recovered from a neighbouring building - a hotel - that had also been affected by the collapse.
Maria Leah Sajili, information officer at the regional Bureau of Fire Protection, informed a press short report that among the 21 individuals documented missing, five individuals were verified trapped.
Two of the five were communicating with rescuers, but the status of the others was not immediately clear.
