CSWDO head Julie P. Dayaday, in a report from the City Information Office (CIO) said that she already instructed the CSWDO Marilog District head to look after the families of the victims.
"We provide psychological first aid and assess the needs of the survivors and the family left behind,” Dayaday said on what possible services they could offer.
Five of the ten construction workers have been retrieved while two injured victims are still confined at the Southern Philippine Medical Center (SPMC).
The other individuals were unscathed during the search and rescue conducted by CDRRMO-Central 911 and other operatives.
The said bridge is a City Government Project under the City Engineer’s Office (CEO).
The CEO earlier said that it has started an investigation into the collapse of the Malamba Bailey Bridge in Marilog District.
CEO District 3 Head Daniel P. Dumandan Jr. told CIO that they already had their site visit, however, he admitted that they cannot yet confirm what the cause was, saying they are in the process of retrieving the bridge panels to know what caused the collapse.
Dumandan said that since the depth of the area where the bridge fell was 26 meters, they have required the contractor to retrieve the debris to evaluate them.
He said they set a meeting with the contractor to discuss the incident and the cause of the collapse.
Dumandan said that they have assigned a registered Civil Engineer to monitor the progress of the construction.
