Heavy rain poured over Metro Manila at the time the safety net gave way.

The safety net was put up to catch debris that may fall from the building project being built.

The area has already been cordoned off while investigation is ongoing, the report said.

As of noontime on Monday, workers were still fixing the safety net.
