The Building and Wood Workers’ International (BWI) expresses its deepest solidarity with the workers, families, and rescue personnel affected by the collapse of a nine-storey building in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines. In a statement issued on 25 May, BWI-affiliated National Union of Building and Construction Workers (NUBCW) said several workers were reportedly resting inside or around the construction site when the structure suddenly collapsed before dawn, leaving a number of workers dead, injured, and missing beneath the rubble.
