Two minors injured as tub breaks off Antipolo Ferris wheel

Two minors were injured at an Antipolo City carnival after the Ferris wheel tub they were in broke off the ride , GMA 7 news program "24 Oras Weekend" reported on Sunday.

Injured in the crash were eighth-grade student John Paul Molina and his friend Angelo Sanchez.

"'Yung paa ko po bigla pong naipit. Una po kasi 'yung ano lang, 'yung goma lang ng sapatos ko. Nung tatanggalin ko na po, di ko na po natanggal," Molina recounted.

Molina had scratches in his knees and elbows, and had a head-wound like his companies Sanchez.

"May tumunog po tapos bigla nalang po umangat 'yung inuupuan ko.. Parang may nabitak po," said Sanchez, who was discharged from hospital.

The victims' parents said they would not file cases against the carnival's management which had provided them with financial assistance.

"Nagkaroon naman po ng kasunduan na in case na may mangyari sa mga bata o panghabambuhay na gamutan, sila naman po ang aano," explained John Paul's mother Melody Molin.

"Pero awa naman po ng Diyos wala naman pong na-ano. Pero salamat na rin po sa kanila kasi po hindi nila pinabayaan 'yung mga bata."

Meanwhile, the carnival's management has yet to comment on the incident. — Jon Viktor Cabuenas/DVM, GMA News
