    Manila Film Center construction deaths

    A scaffolding collapse during the rushed construction reportedly buried workers in wet cement. Widely circulated accounts cite at least 169 victims, while testimony attributed to architect Froilan Hong gives a much lower figure. The reported delay in allowing rescuers onto the site and the absence of transparent public information intensified the controversy.
