Responders from the barangay and BFP-Caloocan immediately arrived at the area.

The barangay captain and a BFP personnel entered the premises of a private residence to convince Adel to climb down the post.
The woman voluntarily agreed to come down after the rescue team assured her of her safety.
Adel was successfully rescued at around 7:30 a.m. and was handed over to the village chief for further care and assessment, the BFP said.
