From a report on the BBC New website
"Government workers in the Philippines are reported to have been ordered to cover a manhole in the capital Manila, which residents say has claimed a total of eighteen lives.
People have been falling down the hole for the past four years.
The latest victims was a university student this week. Police say she apparently failed to see the hole in heavy rain, but her parents say they will sue the government for negligence."
