One dead, 21 missing in Philippines collapse
- A nine-storey building under construction in Balibago, Angeles City, Pampanga collapsed at dawn on Sunday, May 25, leaving at least one confirmed dead and 21 people listed as missing in the Philippines north of Manila.
- The Philippine labour agency halted work at the site in September 2025 over safety violations before lifting the order a month later, while authorities found the building had a 10th-floor swimming pool despite only nine storeys being approved.
- At least four people are confirmed dead, including a Malaysian national recovered on May 24, while 19-year-old Evelyn Alicaway identified her father from a social media video; another 16 remain missing.
- Rescuers halted search operations on the evening of May 25 after life locator equipment detected no survivors, shifting focus to recovery on May 26 as Bureau of Fire Protection officer Maria Leah Sajili told families, "We did everything we could to save lives."
- Families grieved at the site as Lea Casilao, 47, waited for her husband Joselito, saying "My hope of still finding him alive has collapsed"; a dog believed to belong to a foreman was rescued from the rubble Monday and brought to the Angeles City Dog Pound and Animal Shelter.
