A nine-story building under construction in a city north of the Philippine capital has collapsed, leaving at least one Malaysian tourist dead and 21 workers trapped. Officials say the building fell before dawn on Sunday. Two trapped workers have been located alive but can't be immediately rescued. At least 24 workers managed to escape or were rescued after the building crumbled. The collapse occurred in a crowded neighborhood near a former U.S. Air Force base. Nearly 200 police officers are assisting in the rescue efforts, which will continue until everyone is accounted for, according to regional police director Brig. Gen. Jess Mendez.
