During the Wowowin taping on Tuesday, 22 January 2019 on or about 5:25 in the afternoon, an unfortunate accident transpired during the opening number of the show. One member from the studio audience was injured, while another lost her life.

The person injured was identified as Milagros Espiritu, while the audience member who passed away is Estrella Bognot. According to the statement of Security Marshal Roel Batangwho witnessed the accident, the two audience, who were at the bleachers of the studio, lost their balance while singing and dancing during the opening act. On account of the accident, Ms. Espiritu suffered a fracture, while the head of Ms. Bognot hit a fire extinguisher. They were immediately attended to by the in-house paramedic of WBR Entertainment and rushed to nearby Delgado Hospital.

WBR Entertainment and GMA Network deeply commiserate with, and extended immediate assistance to, the families and loved ones of the victims.

    1. Yes, I agree. But then it could have been prevented. Pucho2x lang kasi ang studio nila eh. The woman unfortunately lost her balance, but then bakit sya nahulog? Paano nabagok? Maybe kulang sa environment, health, & safety audit. Di na-assess ng mabuti ang risk and hazard ng lugar. Tsk2x...

    3. true 12:35 akala ko nga part na ng weekly episodes na magthrowback sila one episode per week ngayon pla yun ang reason

    4. Tama ka 11:50. If na lose balance at nahulog siya, gaano kataas bagsak nya at bakit malapit lang sa upuan nya ang fire extinguisher? San ba nakaupo yung contestant?

      Delete
    5. 2:15 - True. Sana ginastosan din nila ang safety ng audience (e.g. sturdy platform, railings, etc.) di puro pabida sa premyo. Kung maganda pagka gawa ang mga bleachers, wala naman sigurong tao na basta2x na lang mahuhulog. Kulang talaga sa safety audit.

    6. Tama kayo 11:50 & 2:15 baka hindi nga matibay at secured ang structure. Mahilig kasi tayong mga pinoy sa "pwede na yan" "ok na yan" hayan tuloy...

    7. 215 okey lang yun kung malapit man upuan nya sa fire ext..nilalagay Talaga ang mga fire ext Kung sana easily reachable sa mga tao.. maybe the safety concern is Kung May harang ba O guide rails yung bleachers

    1. Actually meron naman pero skeletal lang barriers pati sa likod. Sabi nung kasamahan ni Aling Milagros, nasa dulong likod sila katabi ng grp nila Aling Estrella. Wala sila sa gilid. Nung opening - kumakanta si Willie nagtayuan ang mga tao - "baka" daw natabig ang 2 matanda kaya lumusot sila sa fence sa likod na black cloth lang ang harang. Patalikod daw ang bagsak nila. Nabalian ng ribs si Aling Milagros, at un nga sinawim-palad na bumagsak ang ulo ni Aling Estrella sa fire ext. After ng taling dumiretso daw agad si Willie sa hosp

    2. Trot! 12:47 Masyadong madrama pa ang show na yan. Scripted ang iyakan

      Delete
    3. 12:47 and 1:08, lahat ng tao gustong kumita ng pera dahil maraming bills na kailangang bayaran. Kapag hindi na kayo nakikitira sa magulang niyo, malalaman niyo iyon.

    4. Agree @1:45 maka-kuda tong mga to kasi kala mo nagbabayad ng tax eh kaloka

    5. Wala namang masama sa sinabi ni 12:47 and 1:08. Stating the truth lang sila, may masama ba sa kuda nila, 2:19? Paano nahalo ang issue ng pagbabayad ng tax?

      Delete
    6. 1:45/ 2:19 OA nyo! Kala nyo naman kilala nyo sina 12:47 at 1:08 para akusahan nyong nakikitira sa magulang at hindi nagbabayad ng tax. Masama bang magsabi ng totoo?

    7. Maiwasan sana kung naglagay sila ng harang sa likod para hindi mahulog yung tao.

    1. Exactly. If this is the second time na may accident.. hindi ba dapat pinagtuunan mabuti ng pansin ung safety sa studio since the first incident happened?

      Delete
    2. So sa tingin nyo walang safety standards at protocol sa mga ganyang lugar? It was an accident. Kung ang pagkaka construct o design ng studio ang dahilan siguro noon pa lang mas marami nang napahamak jan.

    3. You're not getting this ano. Twice na nangyari, same show. That's unusual. 1:09

    4. Twice KA Jan. Stampede yung isa. This one sa loob ng studio and yung Una is stadium un

      Delete
    5. 1:09 Yes, tingin ko wala talaga. Ngayon lang nagkataon na may napahamak na. Kung meron, hindi sana ito nangyari. Hindi naman basta2x mahuhulog na lang ang audience kung matibay ang railings. Wag kang ano.

      Delete
    6. 1:35 Yung stampede is sa Wowowee pa, sa ABSCBN pa yun.

    7. Twice ba na nangyari sa show na ITO o Twice kay Willie? Sa pagkakaalala ko yung first time was sa Wowowee stampede which was in Abs Cbn.

    1. Kaya nga eh. This is really a cause for concern. Nung unang incident pulos matatanda din namatay. Alam naman ng staff na karamihan pumupunta e matatanda, sana pinagtuunan ng pansin ung safety ng lugar.

  15. In other countries kahit accident you can sue the show and producers for more than the medical and burial expenses. Hindi ko alam kung ano saklaw ng laws dito but I hope the show doesn't skimp on the compensation.

  16. Masyadong wild naman kasi mga manonood.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Both incidents na may namatay happened malapit sa bday ni Willie. Yung una yun yung Ultra stampede so hindi po sa parehong lugar. Itong recent sa studio na normal set up. Ang problema kasi sa opening palang ng show magulo na ang audience at marami talaga ang nagOOA para mapansin ni Willie. Marami sumisigaw, sumasayaw at yung iba parang naglulupasay pa para talaga mapansin. Ito ang mahirap kung di man ikaw eh yung katabi mo parang nagwawala kaya ingat at alerto ka din dapat, freak accident ang nangyari.
