    restaurants and some service
    stores.

    On April 30, 2020, a wall


    located in the parking area of
    the building collapsed
    damaging 3 cars and causing,
    at least, 2 injuries. According
    to reports, the people affected
    were the drivers of the
    vehicles. One of them suffered
    minor injuries but the other
    one was hospitalized.

    DPWH Issues Revised Construction Safety Guidelines; Prohibits Small-Scale Projects to Operate in ECQ, MECQ areas

    A new set of construction safety guidelines is now in effect for the implementation of public and private infrastructure
    projects pursuant to the latest announcement to place the Greater Metro Manila Area back to Enhanced Community
    Quarantine (ECQ).

    Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark A. Villar issued the new Department Order #30 which follows
    recommendations from the IATF and other relevant government agencies while balancing economic growth through
    infrastructure development with public health and safety.

    Per the latest order, all essential public and private construction projects shall be allowed at full operational capacity in
    areas under ECQ and Modified ECQ, subject to strict compliance with the new construction safety guidelines, with the
    exemption of small-scale projects.

    “In ECQ and MECQ areas, we are prohibiting the operation of small-scale projects that are private and personal use, and
    which, because of scale, would impractically be unable to comply with our guidelines,” said Secretary Villar.
