MANILA, Philippines – A total of 24 people died while some 63 others were injured in various accidents during the Holy Week, disaster management officials said yesterday. | |||
In a report, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) said that most of the dead drowned while others figured in fire, vehicular and maritime accidents. | |||
Out of the 24 fatalities, 12 drowned, nine were killed in a vehicular accident and three died in a fire. | |||
All injured victims figured in vehicular accidents in Abra, Bataan, Benguet, Cotabato, La Union, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, and Valenzuela City. One was injured after a motorized boat capsized in Agusan del Norte. | |||
In La Union and Pangasinan, four people died in separate drowning incidents last Saturday. | |||
Janiesha Avril Libadia, 3, of Narvacan, Ilocos Sur drowned while playing along the shoreline of Barangay Quirino in Bacnotan, La Union at about 10 a.m. | |||
In Bauang town, Romulo Flores, 55, drowned while swimming in Bauang River at around 2 p.m. | |||
In San Fabian, Pangasinan, Aron Ocampo, 14 of Villasis, Pangasinan and Bryan de Jesus, 14 of Angeles City, Pampanga drowned along the shoreline of Barangay Nibaliw at about 4:10 p.m. The victims were rushed to the Dagupan City Medical Center but died before receiving medical attention. | |||
Drowning incidents also occurred on April 5 in Bangar, La Union and Cavinti, Laguna. | |||
In Bangar, seven-year-old Bhejay Collado drowned at Busilac River at about 11:30 a.m. Before the incident, the victim and a relative reportedly crossed the river using a bamboo raft. Upon reaching the other side of the river, the victim was allegedly left alone by his companion, who bought something at a nearby store. | |||
The relative then noticed that the victim was already missing. The boy’s lifeless body was later found in the river with the help of local residents. | |||
Carlos Taylan, 13, drowned at 10:31 a.m. in Lake Caliraya, Cavinti, Laguna last Thursday. Taylan was rushed to the Laguna Provincial Hospital but died before receiving medical attention. The victim’s companion, Camille Taylan, 15, was immediately rescued by the authorities. | |||
NDRRMC said the incident was brought to the attention of the Provincial Tourism Office because it was evident that the raft used by the victim lacked lifesaving equipment. | |||
In Ifugao, disaster management officials recovered the body of a Romanian national who was reported missing last Wednesday. | |||
The victim, identified as George Sfintes, 22, was reported missing while swimming in Tappiyah Falls with eight other foreigners. | |||

They were declared dead on arrival by attending physicians after being brought by kin to the Candelaria United Doctors Hospital, Mauban District Hospital and CM Recto Hospital. | |||
According to investigators, Daniel, 7, and his family were at Abiawin Beach Resort when the incident happened. Around 12:30 p.m. upon noticing that he was missing, they immediately sought the help of the Bureau of Fire and Naval Base to search for him. | |||
Jannah, 6, was also with her family when she drowned. Her body was found at the adjacent Cabana Beach Resort in Mauban. | |||
Gilbert, 17, was swimming alone at Triple J Beach Resort in Sariaya when he drowned due to the depth and strong current. | |||
Another joyous outing ended in tragedy on Saturday, when a 47-year-old employee drowned in Marikina City. | |||
The employees who attended the company outing were preparing to leave for home when they noticed that one of them, Bonifacio Esteban, 47, was missing. They found his body at the bottom of the swimming pool at about 3 p.m. | |||
The attending lifeguards applied first aid treatment before rushing him to the Saint Vincent hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. | |||
Local police already sought a copy of footage of the surveillance camera installed by the swimming pool to determine whether there was foul play. | |||
Police investigators are also gathering evidence to determine whether the owner of Flamengo Garden Resort can be held liable for Esteban’s death. | |||
