Two persons were injured after part of a house in Binondo, Manila collapsed on Thursday night.

Based on an initial report, the front portion of a house located along Sevilla St. at Barangay 272 collapsed around 8:40 pm.

The two injured victims were identified as Ian Kyle Torres, 13, and Maribelle Nepomuceno, 29.

A report stated that Torres was buying drinks from a store located in front of the house when it collapsed and its roof struck him.

He sustained bruises on his right arm and a lump on the right side of his head. He was brought to Mother and Child Hospital for medical attention while Nepomuceno, the store owner who was also hit by the roof, was rushed to Jose Abad Santos General Hospital.

Three other victims trapped inside the collapsed structure were later rescued by the husband of the store owner with the help of bystanders. Robina Asido/PHS
