MANILA, Philippines At least 10 construction workers died Thursday on the eve of the dayof mourning declared by the Makati city government in the wake of the tragic bus bombingthat killed five passengers and injured 13 others last Tuesday. The workers were killed whenan electric gondola they were using while constructing the 39-story Eton Tower at the corner of Paseo de Roxas and Gallardo Streets gave way. Makati Mayor Jejomar Junjun Binay Jr. said the accident took place at about 11:45 a.m.while the workers, who were installing glass panels at the 32nd floor, were going down thebuilding using the gondola. As the gondola was going down, it collapsed on the 20th floor causing some of the worker to fall. The other workers fell on the 12th and 8th floors. Binaysaid he has ordered a stop to the construction until Eton Properties could ensure the safetyof the construction workers who belong to ARLO Aluminum, a glass contractor/installer. Healso directed the engineering officers to conduct an inspection of the site. Later we want toknow if there is someone responsible over the incident, the mayor stressed. Theconstruction of the building, under E-C Contractors, began in 2008 and expected to befinished early this year. Makati fire chief, Superintendent Samuel Taddeo, said the electric

gondola was carrying 11 workers when its capacity is only six persons . The gondolacarrying the workers was overloaded. We found out that the cord was cut, may be becausethe workers were heavy. It gave away, he added. The workers lack complete safety gearsas they were only wearing hardhats when found , said Taddeo. De Pedro stressed that Etonplaces a premium on safety and enforces strict safety regulations in all its constructionprojects. But due to the unfortunate incident, Eton is reviewing the compliance of itscontractors . . (With a report from Genalyn D. Kabiling)
