As part of the investigation, the Bureau of Fire Protection requested the assistance of an electrician to examine the electrical setup involved in the incident.
The report also shared that investigators have yet to receive a formal statement from the resort owner.
Meanwhile, Super Estong's girlfriend said the family intends to pursue legal action as they seek accountability.
She recalled her last conversation with him before the tragedy.
"Ang last na akong conversation na naghamba lang siya sa akin sir na makanta ako."
She also disputed assumptions that the victim's body was wet when the el*ctrocution happened, saying he was not wet at the time of the incident.
The Bureau of Fire Protection took the opportunity to remind the public to observe electrical safety at all times, especially when using appliances or electrical equipment.
An official said, "Kung alam mo naman sa sarili mo nga basa ka iiwasan na magsaksak dahil basa pa ang kamay mo. At saka dapat naka-tsinelas para hindi connected sa ground."
The reminder emphasized avoiding contact with electrical devices when hands or the body are wet and wearing proper footwear to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Before the report ended, GMA News said its team had already reached out to the resort owner to obtain a statement regarding the incident. However, no response had been received as of the airing of the report.
