MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has cautioned cyclists about a portion of the perimeter wall in Forbes Park, Makati that collapsed yesterday.

MMDA EDSA traffic chief Bong Nebrija said the perimeter wall that collapsed along EDSA posed a risk to bicycle riders.

The agency has also reported the crumbling portion of the wall to the homeowners’ association but no actions have been done yet.

“Other parts of the wall are also at the brink of collapse. This is an accident waiting to happen, especially now that the soil is saturated because of the rains,” Nebrija said.

“Pedestrians, bikers and motorists frequenting this location must watch out and stay clear of this wall,” he added.
