Twenty-six people have been rescued after a nine-story building under construction collapsed early Sunday in Angeles City, Pampanga Province in the northern Philippines, according to local government authorities.

The Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office of Angeles City said 24 people were pulled from the collapsed structure, while two others were rescued from a nearby apartment hotel struck by the incident. Rescue teams are currently actively searching for those still trapped.

Earlier reports said at least 30 people had been trapped under the building.
