A service driver was found dead after a concrete barrier fell on him at a compound in Ibaan, Batangas, police said. The body was discovered on 26 October in a storage area for damaged concrete barriers inside the SMC Compound in Barangay Quilo. Ibaan police received a call from a safety officer of Monstera Services Inc. at about 7:30 a.m. Responding officers found the victim lying lifeless on the ground. Preliminary investigation indicates that the driver had attached a hammock to the concrete barriers. As he was about to lie down, one of the barriers reportedly toppled and struck his face. Police identified the victim only by the alias “Badong,” who worked as a service driver for the STAR Project. He was last seen logging out of work at about 6:26 p.m. on 22 October. His companions had not reported him missing because they believed he had already left the workplace. Police have requested a crime scene examination and an autopsy to establish the circumstances surrounding his death.
