Despite the difficulty brought by sudden heavy rains, rescuers of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) are working round the clock to retrieve the body of the remaining person buried alive in the trash slide in Rodriguez, Rizal sanitary landfill.
Edward Gonzalez, chief of MMDA Road Emergency Group (REG) said the search and retrieval team is hoping to find the body of Pablito Esto. Rain puts a stop in the 24-hour operation, which resumes immediately when the weather improves.
Gonzalez said 20 personnel from the MMDA have been working in shifts so the retrieval operations will not be delayed further.
Esto was among the four people buried alive in the trash slide. The three others have been recovered by the MMDA team last week.
The bodies of Eddie Malano and Rovidico Olod were discovered by the team a day after the first victim identified as Gary Balahibo was found and retrieved from inside a backhoe buried in the trash slide.
The four workers were conducting maintenance work in the sanitary landfill when a 30-meter high trash collapsed and buried them.
