GENERAL SANTOS CITY, March 26 (PNA) – Two construction workers were killed while another was injured when they were buried alive in a landslide off a cliff near the national highway here Monday morning. | |||
Ephraim Beliran, City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office chief, said the victims were laying down several large pipes near a funeral parlor complex along the national highway in Barangay Labangal here around 9:30 a.m. when a portion of a nearby cliff suddenly collapsed on them. | |||
He said the victims were then working on a project commissioned by the General Santos City Water District (GSCWD). | |||
He identified the fatalities as Ricky Talino, 37, and a certain Ren-ren. Both were declared dead on arrival at a hospital here. | |||
Ricky's brother Gerry sustained several injuries and is currently being treated at a local hospital. | |||
Beliran said city officials have ordered a deeper investigation into the incident, especially the cause of the landslide. | |||
But Gerry Castillo of the Office of Civil Defense-Region 12 ruled out the incident as weather-related saying the circumstances showed that it was “man-made.” | |||
