00:00 A man who drowned after jumping into the river at night was killed.
00:08 This is the story of Bien Manalo.
00:10 The authorities have already arrested the body of a man who drowned
00:17 after jumping into the river at around 7 p.m. last night.
00:22 According to Jonathan Pava, the victim's cousin,
00:26 they were drinking together with their colleagues when he asked them to jump into the river.
00:32 My friends and I were having a fight.
00:36 I held him and I thought he wouldn't jump.
00:41 He jumped for a few minutes.
00:45 He said, "Don't follow me, I'll kill you."
00:48 I didn't follow him.
00:50 He jumped and jumped into the middle of the river.
00:55 The victim tried to jump three times but he kept jumping.
01:01 He was floating for three times.
01:04 He was floating.
01:06 The second time, he was floating.
01:09 He was okay. He was jumping.
01:12 We followed him.
01:15 When we got there, he was gone.
01:17 He was the last one.
01:18 He was already drowned.
01:20 Because of this, the Manila Disaster Reseduction and Management Office,
01:26 the Philippine Coast Guard, responded immediately.
01:28 After more than two hours, the victim's body was also retrieved.
01:34 We arrived here around 8.30 p.m.
01:37 But the first thing we saw was the PCG.
01:39 Before we got here, we were already coordinated with the PCG.
01:43 When we arrived, they were already rescuing the body.
01:47 The PCG helped us to the end.
01:52 They went to the body around 9.45 p.m.
01:55 The body was already recovered.
01:56 Christine Legaspi couldn't think of the cause of her brother's death.
02:02 She has a daughter who was also killed by her husband last year.
02:09 Of course, we were surprised because we knew that he was working here.
02:14 His colleague, Alex, told his wife that he jumped into the river because he was drunk.
02:22 We couldn't think of the reason why he jumped.
02:26 That's also our question, why?
02:29 According to the MDRRMO, aside from the victim being drunk,
02:33 the condition of the river could have been added to the incident.
02:37 The condition of the Pasig River is really poor.
02:42 So, anyone can have a hard time when they jump into the river.
02:48 That's why the authorities are reminding those who are swimming in Ilogo.
02:52 According to the MDRRMO, the Pasig River is really poor.
03:00 That's why the MDRRMO is not allowing people to swim in it.
