Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Death Toll Rises After Philippines Building Collapse
Caption: Death Toll Rises After Philippines Building Collapse. Rescue crews in the Philippines have pulled more victims from the rubble of a collapsed building under construction, raising the death toll to three while at least 17 people remain missing. Officials say one victim was found alive with a pulse but later died, while another suffered cardiac arrest while trapped beneath the debris. Thermal scans overnight detected signs of breathing and heartbeats under the rubble, giving rescuers hope that more survivors could still be found. The multi-storey building collapsed in Angeles City, north of Manila, and authorities are now investigating what caused the disaster. Officials revealed the structure was approved as a nine-storey condo-hotel, but construction was underway on an additional tenth floor with a swimming pool. Families waiting at the scene have grown frustrated, demanding faster rescue efforts and clearer updates on their missing loved ones.
