NAAWAN, Misamis Oriental — A group of children barely escaped tragedy after the roof of an elementary school’s court in this town collapsed just minutes after the students had gone back to their classrooms from a morning recess on Friday, Jan. 25. Teacher Lorry Dandasan said she heard a loud cracking sound coming from the court, prompting her to peep out of her classroom window and see that the court’s roof had collapsed. Workers hurtTwo unidentified workers, who were installing galvanized iron on the court roof, were brought to a hospital after they fell down with the roof. One of the workers suffered a broken leg after a girder fell on him while the other suffered minor injuries and was immediately discharged from the hospital. “From the start, I already questioned the project because the posts are too small,” Leotero said.
