VIRAC, Catanduanes- The Department of Education (DepEd) recently approved P9 million additional fund request for the repair and rehabilitation of school buildings in the province.


Bernardo Alejandro, OCD-Bicol director, identified the fatalities as Antonette Miserilla, 30, of Barangay Anib, Sipocot, Camarines Sur, and her six-year-old son Errol John.
DepEd’s move was in response to the request of Congressman Cesar V. Sarmiento. With this, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) recently issued Sub-Allotment Release Order (SARO) for P9,079,165.50 to DepEd Catanduanes Division, charged to the Continuing appropriations of 2011 GAA.


He said the mother and son were on a carabao fording a swollen river on Monday when they fell off the animal and were swept away by the strong current and drowned. Their bodies were recovered in the town of Cabusao.
Last year, DepEd released P5 million for the repair and rehabilitation program.


In Malilipot, Albay, police said, Dennis de Lima, 24, who was swimming with friends at the Palale Beach resort on Sunday and was carried by a strong sea current and drowned. His body was recovered at the shoreline of Barangay San Lorenzo in Tabaco City, also in Albay.

Vera and Sagrada, Viga; and Simamla, Sto. Niño, Cavinitan and Magnesia in Virac town will also receive a portion of the additional funds.
 
Bicol was affected by moderate rains in the past five days due to a low pressure area off Palawan.
