00:00Fifteen posts in Barangay Lambakin, Marilao, Bulacan were knocked down after their cables were pulled by a truck.
00:12Two wounds were also inflicted on the roof of a school and a wall of a subdivision.
00:18More than 700 houses were also cut off.
00:21And live from Marilao, Bulacan, we have the first news, James Agustin. James.
00:28Igan, Maris, Ivan, up to this time, the residents of Marilao, Bulacan are still trying to fix the fifteen posts of electricity that were knocked down.
00:44Residents helped the injured motorcycle riders and cyclists who were hit by the falling cables of electricity.
00:51It happened on Mario Santiago Road, Barangay Lambakin, Marilao, Bulacan before midnight.
00:56About fifteen posts of electricity were knocked down.
00:59The cables just fell on the road.
01:02The roof of a school was also knocked down.
01:05The wall of a subdivision was also broken.
01:08Christian was sent home by a motorcycle when he witnessed the incident.
01:14There was a slump before I could reach the last knocked down post.
01:20Suddenly, all the cables suddenly fell.
01:26It exploded.
01:27Fortunately, I didn't rush. I didn't reach the road.
01:31It was fast because the fall was continuous.
01:34It was like a domino effect.
01:36The reason for this is that a ten-wheeler was pulled by the cables of electricity.
01:41The truck came from Valenzuela.
01:43It was supposed to deliver land to Marilao.
01:46The authorities are still investigating this.
01:48The driver of the truck is in the custody of Marilao Municipal Police Station.
01:52The police did not allow the media to interview him.
01:56The perpetrator refused to give a statement.
01:59According to the people of Miralco who responded to the scene,
02:02about 743 households lost their supply of electricity.
02:06They are still trying to fix the fallen posts.
02:10The motorists were not able to cross the road.
02:13That's why the tricycle driver, Andre, was affected.
02:17He blocked the tricycle from his friend.
02:20We are trying to cross the road.
02:22We only see a few people.
02:24It's still a permission.
02:26We don't have a trip now.
02:28I will travel in the afternoon.
02:30That's what happened.
02:33Some residents were forced to walk a few meters to get home.
02:38We left our vehicle there.
02:40We can't walk anymore.
02:43I left my friends there.
02:45It's a big burden.
02:47My father also travels by tricycle.
02:51Meanwhile, this is what we see.
02:53This is just the tip of the road
02:56where the last post of Miralco fell.
03:00They are still trying to fix it.
03:03The motorists were not allowed to cross this road.
03:06That's why this morning,
03:08people were forced to walk to school or work.
03:12I can only see the bicyclists here.
03:15Earlier, there were motorists.
03:17They also blocked the road here.
03:22How long is this road?
03:24The last post of Miralco fell 15 meters.
03:27It's almost 1 kilometer.
03:29That's where the next post of Miralco fell last night.
03:35Miralco can't say when they will be able to fix this post
03:40because many people were affected.
03:43That's the first news from me, James Agustin,
