00:00 New fear unlocked, because unfortunately, there's no fixed time and place.
00:05 It's obvious on camera that the woman was walking on the sidewalk.
00:12 The woman was injured and the concrete fell from the house.
00:18 That's what we'll talk about this morning with our heart of law attorney, Gabby Concepcion.
00:24 Good morning, attorney.
00:25 Good morning.
00:26 It really looks like you're walking on the sidewalk.
00:29 You're going to fall.
00:30 Yes, you'd think.
00:32 We're all walking on the sidewalk.
00:34 We're all nervous.
00:36 This is one of the fears that anyone can encounter.
00:42 Even if you're on the right path, there's still danger.
00:46 In this incident, who has the answer, attorney?
00:49 Because you said you're walking on the sidewalk, not on the sidewalk.
00:51 She was walking on the sidewalk.
00:53 It's like nowhere is safe.
00:55 That's how we feel.
00:57 But of course, we can't conclude that it was an accident.
01:02 Not because they didn't mean it.
01:04 Usually, we don't mean it.
01:07 It doesn't mean there's no liability.
01:09 Again, we need to examine the attendant facts and circumstances
01:14 before we can judge if it was a real accident.
01:18 Which means, if it was a real accident, there's no liability.
01:22 Anyone, or anyone who didn't mean it, should be prepared.
01:27 Or at least, necessary steps were taken to prevent it from happening.
01:30 We can't say that the incident was not expected.
01:33 It's like a law of gravity.
01:35 If you're on the top, the possibility of falling is really there.
01:40 It's not something that should be put in the law.
01:43 It's a law of nature.
01:44 So, we need to make sure that you won't fall.
01:47 Or if you fall, there's a law so that no one will be hurt.
01:51 Which is why, under PD 1096, or the National Building Code,
01:56 there are requirements for pedestrian protection.
02:01 The requirement here is that you need to create platforms
02:05 in the buildings you're building
02:07 so that you can prevent not only the fall of the sidewalk,
02:11 but all materials that can fall from below.
02:15 So, for those who don't do what's right,
02:18 or those who neglect contractors, engineers, or architects,
02:23 sometimes, the owner says to the contractor,
02:26 "We just need that, but if it's saving, because it's saving, no."
02:30 There can be a liability for damages that will happen
02:35 in case someone gets hurt, whether innocent bystander,
02:39 or if it's actually the workers themselves,
02:43 they should be protected as well.
02:46 Atorney, not just for the house, but for the post, signage, or roof,
02:50 can be given.
02:51 Is there a law saying that this will happen,
02:54 especially in places like this?
02:56 There are people who suddenly fell, or the iron fell.
02:59 How can that happen?
03:00 Yes, because the National Building Code,
03:02 there are requirements about strength and whatever,
03:05 of the buildings, signage that are attached.
03:08 So, there are really requirements in the National Building Code.
03:11 So, if the construction is facing a street,
03:14 there should be railing or fence, because like you said,
03:18 what needs to be protected is not only the one from above,
03:21 but also the cars that are on the road.
03:25 So, there should also be canopies or platforms
03:28 so that the ones below won't fall.
03:31 Of course, not only the requirements of the National Building Code
03:34 that we will look at, under Article 482 of the Civil Code,
03:38 for example, if there's a wall or any construction,
03:41 that can fall, the owner has an obligation to demolish it
03:45 or do what's necessary so that it won't fall.
03:47 If it's not done, the authorities can do it themselves,
03:51 to fix it, but at the expense of the owner.
03:54 We also have trees under Article 483.
03:58 If there's a tree that looks like it's going to fall,
04:03 the owner should do something about it,
04:06 otherwise, he will be responsible.
04:08 Under Article 2193 of the Civil Code,
04:10 if you live in a building,
04:13 and someone fell, your child is playing,
04:16 and someone got hit, the head of the family will be responsible
04:20 if someone fell from the building.
04:22 So, actually, at the end of the day,
04:24 the general rule that we should look at and follow
04:27 is the law on neglect.
04:30 It's unacceptable that we don't intend for this to happen.
04:33 I'm sure they don't want their partner to get sick,
04:36 but it's a shame if an innocent person passes by
04:40 and becomes a victim.
04:41 So, aside from the provisions of our law
04:44 that say the owner, head of the family, the contractor, the owner,
04:49 the only one who has liability is the one who has control over the premises.
04:54 It's necessary from construction to the end,
04:57 you always think that the law should be followed
05:02 regarding the requirements as to strength
05:04 and what you will foresee that might happen
05:08 and we will prevent it so that no one will get hurt.
05:11 That's right.
05:12 We should also be around each other.
05:15 We should be cautious, especially when there are such obstructions.
05:18 Because you don't want it to happen to you, right?
05:20 You don't want it to happen to you.
05:21 You don't want it to happen to others.
05:22 That's why when I see someone with a net, I avoid it if I can.
05:25 That means someone might really fall.
05:27 It might be hard.
05:28 Thank you very much, Dr. Igabi Gonzalez.
05:30 Thank you very much.
05:31 Happy Hamptay.
05:32 That's right. Happy Hamptay, everyone.
05:34 Thank you.
