Philippines: Rescuers were racing on Sunday to free two workers pinned under a building that collapsed in the northern Philippines, killing a Malaysian man and leaving 20 people missing.
The search for survivors continued as night fell, with firemen shining small lights into the rubble for signs of life.
Twenty-six people have been rescued so far after the nine-storey building collapsed in Angeles City, 80km north of the capital Manila.
The disaster also damaged a nearby hotel and killed a 65-year-old Malaysian guest, Mohd Rezal bin Abdullah.
The man, from Malaysia’s Sabah state, had managed to communicate with rescuers by phone while pinned under a hotel wall shortly after the collapse at 3.00am on Sunday.
