MANILA, Philippines – An overhead steel canopy collapsed on Saturday afternoon, November 23, injuring 3 construction workers of the soon-to-rise Shangri-La Hotel at the Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City.

Superintendent Annie Bodanio, Taguig police officer-in-charge, said the incident happened at about 1:45 pm along 30th Street corner 3rd Avenue.

The canopy, about 10 to 12 feet tall, collapsed and injured the 3 “workers of steel fabricator HSW,” the sub-contractor of the ongoing construction.

Bodanio identified the victims as: 

  • Cet Guinalayo, 47
  • Jay-ar Buising, 21
  • Ryan Samanillo, 27

Guinalayo and Samanillo both sustained head injury, while Buising fractured his left elbow. They were brought to St. Luke’s Global City for medication.

Taguig City media officer Lito Laparan told Rappler that as of 7:30 pm, the victims are still at the hospital, under observation. They are also waiting for the follow-up report of investigators. – Jee Geronimo/Rappler.com
