00:00As part of the intramurals at Apuyo National High School in Alfonso Castaneda, Nueva Vizcaya,

00:09teachers and students gathered to cross the river where the game will take place.

00:22They passed through the hanging bridge.

00:26But this is what happened the next day.

00:37The 38 students fell from 10 meters high and were swept away by the river.

00:50I was shocked. There were a lot of kids in the water.

00:54Parents, do you know the route of your children's school activities?

01:04Is there also a hanging bridge in your area?

01:07To those who are watching, can you please check?

01:12Because it seems that the hanging bridges are often cut off.

01:17Rhea, who happened to be washing sandals in the river,

01:22passed through the hanging bridge.

01:24There were a lot of students in the hanging bridge.

01:31I was shocked. There were a lot of kids in the water.

01:35The kids fell. The water was really strong.

01:38But Rhea was almost drowned in fear when she encountered her daughter, Christine,

01:48so her mother immediately called for help.

01:54The first person I held was not my daughter.

01:58But my son.

02:04My son was drowned. I held him in my arms.

02:09But because of the strong water, I was able to let him go.

02:13The students were watching in the middle of the night.

02:17The first student I saw was already outside.

02:23I quickly went to the other side of the road.

02:26When I saw my son outside, I jumped.

02:30I didn't think about whether I would hit him or not.

02:37I didn't think about what would happen to me as long as I could hold my son.

02:41Christine was hit in the head.

02:44She was also hit in the lower part of the head, breast, neck, and knee.

02:50This is her wound, ma'am.

02:52She was hit here and there in the head.

02:57This is where her knee touched the metal.

03:00She was bleeding.

03:03She really needed to be taken to a CT scan.

03:05The doctor said that there was only blood outside.

03:09But what was the reason for the hanging bridge?

03:13It was cut off.

03:17When we were about to cross the bridge, no one stopped us.

03:21There were only 5 students crossing the bridge.

03:24All of the students were directing them.

03:27I heard my classmates crying and asking for help.

03:32I forced myself to get up to help them.

03:39Next.

03:43According to Alfonso Castaneda Nueva Vizcaya,

03:47suddenly,

03:50he gave

03:54the 38 students

03:57who fell from 10 meters above

04:01and were watched by a roaring river.

04:04Ma'am.

04:07One of the students who fell from the river

04:11was a grade 11 student named Riza.

04:14She was told that she would be lucky

04:17because she was hit in the hand and in the shoulder.

04:21There was no fracture.

04:23The ultrasound was also negative.

04:25I felt dizzy and the pain in my shoulder.

04:29Until now, I still feel fear and trauma

04:33because of what happened.

04:35I dream about it every night.

04:38I heard my classmates crying and asking for help.

04:43I forced myself to get up to help them.

04:55Ma'am!

04:56Ma'am!

04:57Ma'am!

04:58According to the PNP or the Philippine National Police,

05:0234 of the 38 injured students

05:06were taken to the Rural Health Unit by Alfonso Castaneda.

05:10Only four were taken to the hospital.

05:12The other three were just under observation.

05:15The rest were minor injuries.

05:18While four of them had to be taken to the nearest hospital

05:22which is two hours away from Tulay.

05:25Marjun, a grade 7 student, was injured in his arm.

05:30When he fell, he bent his arm.

05:33There was another fall.

05:34Because he cracked his bone,

05:37his arm had to be cemented.

05:39The cement was okay.

05:42The 14-year-old, John Rel, was the most victimized.

05:47Aside from the scratches on his arm,

05:50he also had a bruise on his chin.

05:53Then he fell on a big rock.

05:57I saw the ultrasound.

05:59There were holes.

06:01I couldn't see clearly.

06:03I couldn't accept it.

06:04I didn't know that this would happen to him.

06:07That's why he had to go under a splenectomy

06:11to remove the protruding skin or spleen inside his chin.

06:16It can be removed, but it's very high risk.

06:18If we remove it, there's a risk of bleeding,

06:21there's a risk of infection.

06:22When I think about the spleen that's missing,

06:25it's a big loss to my son's activity.

06:31He needs to rest for a long time.

06:34Seven days after the surgery, John Rel was able to go home.

06:38At least he was able to stand.

06:40He was able to move by himself.

06:43The LGO paid for the doctor's fee and other expenses.

06:47But what's the reason why the hanging bridge was cut?

06:55The Jogan Hanging Bridge was built in 2015.

06:59It was built on the site of Melina and Jogan.

07:03It was made of steel cables and matting that is 50 meters long.

07:08If the hanging bridge is not built now,

07:10we don't know where we will go, especially if the water level is high.

07:14What can we do to fix it so that the children won't cross the river?

07:19Rhea also noticed some people crossing the bridge.

07:22Some students were still moving the hanging bridge.

07:27Some students were telling them not to move because they were scared.

07:32Some of them were still falling backwards.

07:35That's when the hanging bridge started to fall.

07:39Hey!

07:42According to the investigation, the hanging bridge was overloaded.

07:46That's why it fell.

07:47The hanging bridge only has a capacity of 5 people.

07:52Meanwhile, the students who crossed the bridge,

07:55there were almost 40 of them.

07:59Oh my!

08:00When we were about to cross the bridge,

08:02it stopped.

08:03There were only 5 people crossing the bridge.

08:06All of the students were going straight.

08:09I don't know whose negligence it was.

08:12That's what the teachers are lacking.

08:15They didn't stop the children from crossing the bridge.

08:19Hey!

08:21No one really wants an accident to happen.

08:25But whose responsibility is this?

08:28The biggest obligation and accountability

08:31is the school and the teachers.

08:33Their obligation is to make sure

08:35that all of the children crossing the bridge are safe and protected.

08:39Well, we did everything with all the precautions,

08:42advices, and we told them everything.

08:46Before they left, we made a line here.

08:49The teachers told them what they should do and avoid.

08:54They told them not to cross the bridge at the same time.

08:57That's why the children behaved that way.

09:01An entity that can be accountable for this

09:05is the local government unit,

09:07especially under the law,

09:09also under our civil code,

09:11that if there's a problem with public thoroughfares,

09:14roads, and bridges,

09:16and an accident happens,

09:18people get sick,

09:20our local government units have a responsibility and accountability.

09:25Actually, it happened right after the incident.

09:28I went to our municipal engineering office

09:30to assess what happened to the bridge.

09:33The old bridge will be removed.

09:35We will build a new bridge

09:37to make sure that the bridge will be strong.

09:41The LGU answered all of the victims' medical bills.

09:45So that what happened to us won't happen again,

09:48I hope the bridge will be fixed.

09:51In the middle of any game or bullying in schools,

09:56happiness and salvation should be shared.

10:00It should not be divided.

10:08Thank you for watching, Kapuso!
