Following the collapse of a nine-story building in Barangay Balibago, Angeles City, on May 24, 2026, the Philippine National Police (PNP) has ramped up security measures at the site. PNP Chief Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. stated that personnel have been ordered to preserve the dignity of the deceased and facilitate the efficient movement of disaster response teams. The incident has resulted in at least four confirmed fatalities, with concerns that up to 40 individuals may still be trapped under the rubble. The PNP is deploying additional personnel for traffic management and crowd control in the surrounding areas to prevent disruptions during ongoing operations. While initial rescue efforts successfully saved several survivors, authorities have shifted focus to retrieval as assessments indicated no signs of life beneath the debris. Investigations into the cause of the collapse are ongoing, with Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla visiting the site to oversee operations.
