2 children drown in Talisay City
CEBU, Philippines - Two children ages nine and 10 drowned during separate incidents in Talisay City last Sunday afternoon.
The nine-year-old, identified as Wisey Lipascua, drowned while swimming at the river in Campo 3 with his friends. He was a Grade 3 student of Lagtang Elementary School.
His friend said they tried to look for Lipascua when the boy did not surface the water, but they did not find him. Minutes later, his boy’s body surfaced and fearing that he had died, the classmates called for help from the people nearby who brought the boy to the hospital. There, doctors pronounced him dead.
Meanwhile, at the Borromeo beach in barangay Pooc, 10-year-old Julie Ann Duremon drowned while she was swimming with her family.
SPO1 Mikie Espina said that the child was rushed to the hospital, but just like Lipascua, she was pronounced dead on arrival. — /JMO (FREEMAN)
