00:00In Bulacan, four men were killed after a chemical bomb exploded while inside a fish factory.
00:08Three of them were hoping to help a worker who was seen unconscious.
00:13Jomer Apresto was on the scene.
00:18The four workers who were at the fish factory in Barangay Panghulo, or Bando, Bulacan,
00:26The victims were sitting inside a fermentation pool.
00:30According to the police, one of the victims was cleaned by the owner.
00:35But one of the workers was surprised to see that the victim was unconscious while under the fermentation pool.
00:43He asked for help from his colleagues who were working there.
00:47Then, three of them immediately helped him to breathe.
00:53Until they couldn't breathe anymore.
00:55The four victims were said to have suffocated after a chemical bomb exploded from inside.
01:02When the BFP tried to retrieve them, they were still able to breathe.
01:09They used a breathing apparatus to bring them down.
01:15Two of the victims were compound caretakers, while the other two were construction workers working at a nearby gym.
01:22According to the investigation, the factory has not been operating for four years.
01:27That's why the families of the victims are now thinking about why the fermentation pool needs to be cleaned.
01:33This is the compound gate of the fish factory where the four workers died after suffocating in one of the fermentation pools.
01:43From that gate to where I'm walking, the smell is still there.
01:49The police is still investigating if the factory is really non-operational.
01:54The owner is also aware of the possible responsibility, especially since there are no safety gears for the victims.
02:00The three of them are only wearing rubber gloves.
02:03According to the son of one of the working workers,
02:06they have already signed a waiver that they will not have the victims' bodies autopsied.
02:11The police said that the owner will also pay the expenses for the burial and burial of their relatives.
02:17But the sons are still studying if they will file a complaint.
02:22We will also see if we will be able to fix it, if what they will give us is sufficient or not.
02:30We will still look into the matter because we will still talk to them.
02:35We are trying to find the owner of the said factory.
