I was shock this morning about this,

Early this morning I drove my wife to her office in I.T park Lahug Cebu City Philippines.

When there are a lot of Emergency response unit rush near TESDA.

Five persons were confirmed dead and at least 53 injured when a bunkhouse at a construction site in Cebu City collapsed early Tuesday morning.
Survivor Rodivico dela Cruz said he was awakened by what he described as “like an earthquake” before he was buried under steel roofing. He managed to crawl his way to safety despite his injuries.
Two of the fatalities were identified as Carlos Calliwa and Iveen Villarin.

The incident happened at Abraham Lee Construction, where 158 workers were sleeping in the bunkhouse.
City officials led by Vice Mayor Edgardo Labella visited the accident site.
Labella promised assistance to the affected workers and said he would summon the developers to an investigation.
