After evacuating its tenants and shutting it down, Makati City officials have cordoned off a condominium after a gasoline leak in its pipes.
Radio dzBB's Denver Trinidad reported that as of early Friday, Makati City police and fire officials declared the West Tower Condominium off-limits to all.
The report said the mayor's office ordered all authorities concerned to ensure public safety while the investigation into the cause of the leak is ongoing.
As of Friday morning, the city government posted special rescue unit teams around the condominium.
For its part, the First Philippine Industrial Corp. stopped digging in near the condominium area.
Evacuation of some 400 tenants started late Wednesday, even as authorities got samples of the leaking flammable liquid.
The 22-story West Tower condominium is located at the corner of Osmeña Highway and P. Garcia Street in Bangkal village in Makati City.
