The Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO)-Peñablanca said the mother was cooking and her one- and three-year-old children were playing when the incident happened.
Barangay officials brought the victims to the Cagayan Valley Medical Center (CVMC) here.
The mother sustained a fractured leg and her two children had minor injuries.
The MDRRMO said that the house's foundation was weak and located in a sloped area.
The soil softened due to continuous rain, causing the wall to collapse, the MDRRMO said.
