A Grade 7 student who was hit by falling debris from a high-rise condominium on Tomas Morato Avenue in Quezon City has passed away weeks after undergoing surgery on his head.
The father of 12-year-old Carl Jayden Baldonado confirmed his death in a Facebook post, saying his son had given them a good fight and was granted a second chance by God to say goodbye.
“Good night to our beloved Kuya CJ (Carl Jayden Baldonado). We will miss you so much. I love you,” his grandmother, Rhina Baldonado, also wrote in a separate post.
On August 12, Carl Jayden was among three boys standing in front of a convenience store when a piece of cement plaster from the Atherton building suddenly fell on them.
The incident left him critically injured and he underwent an operation before eventually succumbing to his injuries.
