00:00The boy who fell in the creek in the heavy rain yesterday is dead.
00:05From Caloocan, he was found dead in Marilao, Bulacan.
00:09June Venaracion was found dead.
00:11There he is, he's about to be pushed.
00:15He's already dead. He's in the car.
00:17Since the boy fell in the creek in Marangay 176, Caloocan yesterday,
00:21the search for Jacob Anderson Mandrique, 8-year-old rescuer, has not stopped.
00:30Earlier this morning, the cause of death was confirmed.
00:34The boy's body was found in the river in Marilao, Bulacan.
00:38He fell 15 kilometers away from the creek where he fell.
00:43The father himself identified the body of Jacob.
00:46It's a long journey, son.
00:49Can you imagine, you got here in Marilao.
00:51I was wondering how long it would take.
00:54I don't know.
00:56I just hope it's me.
00:58Usually, when there's drowning in the north,
01:02the water goes to Marilao River.
01:07The mother can't believe that she can't hug her son.
01:12Jacob, son. Wake up, son.
01:16Let's go home, son. Mom is here.
01:20She hopes that she won't ask her son to bathe in the rain.
01:25She doesn't know that Jacob will play in the flowing creek.
01:29I love him very much, sir.
01:31I'm not sorry for him.
01:34I didn't help him, I didn't take care of him,
01:37when his father needs us.
01:40Residents of the barangay said that this is not the first time someone fell in the creek.
01:46It should be covered so that there won't be other children like my eldest son.
01:55There will be small children.
01:57The city hall will have it inspected for remediation.
02:00We can put screens to block the water so that it won't happen again.
