00:00A construction worker was injured after a house in Caloocan collapsed due to a power cut.
00:06Always first in news, Jomera Presto Exclusive.
00:15This man was lying on the roof of a house in Barangay 36 in Caloocan City.
00:21The man had a power cut.
00:24According to the admin of the barangay who was the first responder in the incident,
00:28they heard an explosion from a transformer yesterday morning.
00:32Later, some residents shouted that there was a construction worker who fell on the roof.
00:39The 23-year-old victim may have got stuck in the high-tension wire
00:44which is almost next to their house.
00:47When I saw him, he was on the roof and he was standing.
00:53I was talking to someone who was measuring.
00:55Maybe someone came to him.
00:57He was on the other side of the house, on the roof.
01:00He was on the 4th floor.
01:02He fell on the roof of the 2nd floor.
01:05People in the area helped to get the victim out of the roof.
01:09It took more than 20 minutes before the DRMD arrived in Caloocan.
01:14They used a spine board to get him out and the man was taken to the ambulance.
01:18My last news is that he is okay.
01:21According to the barangay, the owner of the house is ready to pay the cost of the victim in the hospital.
01:28It is known that the house was built without a building permit, according to the barangay.
01:34Some residents complained about it because debris was falling from the house.
01:39We did not give the barangay a permit because he did not get it.
01:42He said he will get it so he can at least go to the mayor's permit.
01:46That's what we will talk about.
01:48We tried to get a permit from the owner of the house but they did not give us a permit.
01:53We tried to get a permit from the owner of the house but they did not give us a permit.
02:00I just want to remind construction workers that there should be conductor covers on the power lines near the houses.
02:09There should be a distance of 10 steps from the power lines.
02:15This is the first news. Jomer Apresto for GMA Integrated News.
