DSWD searching for woman who emerged from Makati drainage hole
The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) on Wednesday said it would help the woman who surfaced from a drainage hole in Makati City.
Members of the DSWD Pag-abot program visited the area in Salcedo Village, Barangay Bel-Air to locate the woman.
"Once the woman's whereabouts have been traced, the Pag-abot team will reach out to her and provide appropriate interventions such as temporary shelter," the DSWD said in a social media post.
Under the DSWD's Pag-abot program, social workers roam around Metro Manila to convince street dwellers to voluntarily come with them and be given interventions and assistance.
According to a 24 Oras report on Tuesday, images of the woman emerging from the drainage hole at the corner of Rufino and Adelentado Streets in Legazpi Village have been making rounds on social media.
The person who uploaded the images said the woman started running wildly after she left the drainage, with security guards chasing after her.
It is unclear as to what the woman was doing inside the drainage and whether her pursuers caught up with her. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
