I am sending the Department of Public Works and Office of the Building Official to conduct an assessment sa cause sa pag-collapse,” Garganera said. It took the responders around five hours to rescue the husband who survived the incident. Responders took another two hours to extricate the wife at around 3 a.m. Monday. She was rushed to a hospital where she died. “If you’re trapped for almost 7 hours, with both limbs stuck under concrete rubbles, I guess it will be difficult for blood to circulate,” said Garganera. The accident site has been cordoned off for an inspection and investigation. The city is also looking into what assistance it could give to the affected family.Four other families were evacuated following the incident.State weather bureau PAGASA said parts of the country were experiencing rains due to the shearline, an area where cold and warm air meet. <div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/news/weather-traffic/2024/12/1/pagasa-amihan-getting-stronger-shearline-stirring-rains-0651">PAGASA: Amihan getting stronger; shearline stirring rains</a></div>
