NAGA, CAMARINES SUR — A 37-year-old man was rescued Monday by firemen after he refused to leave a 200-feet telecommunications tower that he climbed in San Fernando town in Camarines Sur province.

Fire Inspector Alano Asignado of the San Fernando Fire Station said in an interview on Tuesday that Marvin Morco, a resident of Pamplona town, also in Camarines Sur, climbed the tower in Barangay Bonifacio. Rescuers got him off the tower almost two hours later at 4:40 p.m.

Firemen noted that Morco seemed anxious and absent-minded. It was later learned that he was suspected of stealing and was anxious that someone would kill him.

He was taken to the nearest medical facility for assessment and possible intervention after the rescue.
