00:00Several posts in a barangay in Marilao, Bulacan, collapsed due to a collision with a 10-wheeler truck.
00:06Two individuals were injured while residents in the area were affected by the power supply.
00:14Vel Custodio is in the center of the news.
00:18It seemed like a domino effect when about 15 posts fell in the barangay Lambakin, Marilao, Bulacan.
00:25Christian witnessed that the posts suddenly fell on his house.
00:31He was lucky that he was saved because he was among the two fallen posts.
00:37The posts fell one after the other.
00:41If Christian was saved, there were two injured in the incident.
00:45His girlfriend, who lives in Marilao, will visit him at midnight.
00:51But he didn't expect that his girlfriend would visit him at the hospital.
00:56I was riding a motorcycle.
00:58So, what I did to avoid the posts falling,
01:03I ran the motorcycle fast.
01:06That was the cost of my assembly. I was out of balance.
01:10Lito was riding a bicycle in the area when the posts suddenly fell.
01:15My left hand was injured.
01:19My mouth hurts.
01:22I was hit by a wire.
01:25The posts fell because of the lack of life support for Andre, a tricycle driver.
01:32We were riding a motorcycle.
01:33We saw that it was because of the lack of life support.
01:37We don't travel anymore.
01:39I've been traveling since yesterday.
01:41That's how it happened.
01:45We were riding a motorcycle.
01:48When we got there, there was also traffic.
01:51I came back.
01:52I left my tricycle with my friends.
01:55Almost a kilometer of the road was affected
01:58because of the fallen posts.
02:01The posts fell on the roof of this school
02:04and the backwoods of a subdivision.
02:07It can be seen that the vehicles in the affected subdivision are not out anymore.
02:11The fallen posts and the wounds on the backwoods are no longer visible.
02:15That's why the residents have to walk
02:18and there is no vehicle that can pass through here in Barangay Lambakin.
02:22A 10-wheeler truck hit one of the posts
02:25while it was driving from a gas station.
02:29The weight of the truck is heavy.
02:31When it hits a post, it has a strong impact.
02:34Because of the size of the posts,
02:37when the first post fell,
02:40the rest of the posts were damaged.
02:43The driver of the truck is now in the custody of Marilao Municipal Police Station.
02:48Actually, he did not admit it.
02:50He said that he did not notice the impact.
02:53But he admitted that he hit the post.
02:56He just commented.
02:59We also tried to get a statement from the victim
03:02but he refused to give a statement.
03:05The driver is facing a reckless imprudence
03:08resulting to multiple physical injuries and damage to property.
03:11Meanwhile, based on the latest testimony of Miralco,
03:14almost 800 houses lost their power supply.
03:1711 of the posts are owned by a so-called electric company
03:22while the remaining posts are telecommunications.
03:26We are asking for a statement
03:29to understand the impact of this incident.
03:32We hope that Miralco will not stop
03:35until the affected facilities return to Marilao.
03:42Our priority now is the clearing operations.
03:45Right now, we are doing a survey
03:48and we are erecting the affected posts.
03:52The target is for Miralco to finish the clearing operations
03:55and return the supply of electricity to all affected houses today.
