The death toll from yesterday’s under-construction building collapse in Angeles, Philippines, has climbed to four as desperate rescue operations continue. The Philippine Fire Protection Bureau confirmed the rising casualty count, adding that 17 people—primarily construction workers—remain missing beneath the heavy concrete debris. Authorities have launched an urgent investigation into the exact cause of the fatal structural failure. Initial reports have revealed a major code violation at the site; while the residential hotel was only permitted for nine stories, an unauthorized tenth-floor swimming pool was actively being built when the disaster struck.
