The local government has pledged to cover the cost of the child’s surgery. Financial assistance was also provided by the Department of Social Welfare and Development. The family received P10,000, while two other victims were given P5,000 each. The incident has prompted calls for a thorough investigation into the bridge’s collapse, which occurred shortly after it was opened to the public.
