The rescue operation became hard because the victim fell on "spaghetti wires" of electricity.
To commence the rescue, the electric power in the area was temporarily shut down. While the construction in the building where the victim was working was also put to a halt.
The victim was already discharged from the hospital after suffering wounds and burns on his hands.
Meanwhile, the company that owns the building promised to take care of the victim's medical bills.
In the Philippines, liability for a construction worker who is electrocut3d and falls from a building can involve the employer, contractor, site engineer, electrician, or even the property owner, depending on the circumstances.
Employers are primarily responsible for ensuring worker safety through training, proper equipment, and adherence to safety protocols, while others may be liable if their negligence contributed to unsafe conditions.
Legal consequences can range from compensation and civil damages to criminal or administrative charges under laws such as the Labor Code, the OSH Law, and the Civil Code.

Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspect even grabbed a bag and mobile phone from the suspects. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.
In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
