Makati mayor orders probe of condo construction accident


Makati City Mayor Jejomar Erwin Binay Jr. ordered a full investigation of the construction site accident that killed 10 workers in the city Thursday. Binay also ordered a stoppage of all construction work at the Eton Residences Greenbelt building while the probe is ongoing. "I already instructed (the) stoppage of construction work in that building (at) tukuyin ano ang naging sanhi ng aksidente (and determined what caused the accident)," he said at a press conference aired on dzBB radio. He cited initial information indicating the casualties were working for a subcontractor tasked to install glass items on the building. Binay also said at least one survivor at the Ospital ng Makati was in guarded condition. A separate report by dzBB's Rodil Vega said the survivor, whose identity was not immediately disclosed, had fractures in different parts of the body. The report quoted doctors as saying his condition was stable but guarded, and may need added scans to check for head trauma. — LBG, GMANews.TV
