The incident, which occurred on Tuesday afternoon along Tomas Morato Avenue, has raised concerns about building safety in the bustling commercial district.
The victim, identified as CJ Baldonado, was walking with his companions when a large chunk of cement suddenly fell from a nearby high-rise condominium.
According to his grandmother, the family was immediately notified and rushed him to the hospital where he underwent an emergency operation.
She shared that while the operation was a success and her grandson is now stable, doctors are continuing to closely monitor his recovery.
The incident has prompted a quick response from multiple parties. The homeowners association of the building has reportedly initiated contact with Baldonado's family to provide assistance.
Additionally, the local government of Quezon City has announced its commitment to supporting the victims.
This coordinated effort from both private entities and the local government aims to provide a safety net for the family as they navigate the difficult situation.
Further reports from multiple news outlets have confirmed that at least one other student was also injured in the incident, though their condition and identity have yet to be disclosed.
Eyewitnesses recounted the shocking moment the debris fell, and many have taken to social media to express their alarm over the perceived lack of safety measures in place around construction sites and older buildings in the area.
This incident has amplified calls for local authorities to enforce stricter safety inspections and regulations for all structures, particularly those in high-traffic pedestrian zones.
As the city continues to develop vertically, the need for stringent maintenance and oversight becomes more critical to prevent similar accidents.
While Baldonado's family and the public await more details from the ongoing investigation, the focus remains on his recovery and the urgent need to ensure such a tragic event never happens again.
