Four people have died, and 17 were declared missing, most of them construction workers, after a nine-storey hotel under construction in the Philippines collapsed over the weekend.
Rescuers were seen pulling three workers from the huge pile of rubble in Angeles City, Pampanga, on Monday.
One was already dead, and the other succumbed to his injuries shortly after being extricated.
Emergency personnel struggled to revive the unresponsive worker in an ambulance near the pile of concrete slabs, iron bars, and aluminium scaffoldings that was all that remained of the building.
Hundreds of rescuers, led by firefighters and police, were seen scrambling for hours to extricate the workers who were alive at the time but trapped under concrete slabs and iron bars.
Rescuers tried to give water and medicine I/V to one of the trapped workers in a desperate effort to keep him alive in this scorching heat.
One of the three people pulled out from the rubble on Monday was unidentified and not on the list of the 17 missing, who were mostly construction workers.
The fourth dead victim was a tourist from Malaysia trapped inside a budget inn that was partly hit by the avalanche of debris from the collapsed building. Another guest at the inn was injured but managed to dash out.
