Note this happened last night but news only got out tonight...

MANILA - An 11-year-old boy was injured when a portion of the ceiling of the Mall of Asia in Pasay City collapsed yesterday.

In a statement, SM Supermalls said part of the mall's South Arcade ceiling was "damaged" because of the rains and strong winds.

"The damage was minimal but an 11-year-old boy was slightly injured. Full assistance was given to him by the SM team," SM Supermalls, which is owned by the country's richest man Henry Sy, said.

"We apologize for whatever inconvenience this may have caused our customers and are repairing now the ceiling in the area," it added.

Netizens including artist-activist Carlos Celdran shared photos and videos of the accident which were allegedly taken after the UAAP Cheerdance Competition held at the nearby Mall of Asia Arena.
