Angeles City Fields Avenue new hotel collapse update — the site three days on, casualties and the 10th-floor pool question

In one line
Three days after a hotel under construction collapsed in Angeles City, the host shows the scene from the corner of Teodoro Street and Fields Avenue and sums up the casualties, damage nearby and questions about the building permit.

💡 Key takeaways

[The site]
• Filmed at the intersection of Teodoro Street and Fields Avenue.
• A nearby power pole is leaning and other poles are knocked over. The host thinks the falling building may have pulled down the power lines.
• He notes that some media say strong wind contributed to the collapse.

[Casualties — three days after the collapse]
• According to reports, 4 dead, 17 missing and 27 rescued.
• The host assumes the 17 missing have also died and estimates 21 dead in total (not an official figure).
• According to the host, 16 of the missing were workers sleeping inside the building, and one of the dead was from a neighboring building.

[Damage to nearby buildings]
• Neighboring buildings suffered structural damage. One hotel (it sounds like 'ORSU' in the captions) has reportedly closed for good.
• An adjacent apartment complex was also damaged.

[Fire bureau statements — quoted by the host from Facebook]
• The Angeles City Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) named the hotel as what sounds like 'RB NB Condo Hotel' (check the video for the exact spelling).
• The bureau also reportedly named the owner of the construction project (name shown in the video).
• As of May 26, 2026, the bureau reportedly stopped rescue operations. It says it used a device that detects human voices.

[Building permit questions — quoted by the host from Wikipedia]
• The approved permit was for a 9-story hotel, but a swimming pool was reportedly being built on a 10th floor.
• It is unclear whether the permit covered the 10th floor and pool, or whether the pillars and beams were designed for that weight.
