A one-and-a-half-year old baby boy landed in the hospital after his grandmother reportedly gave him kerosene, instead of water in Purok Himaya, Brgy. Mansilingan, Bacolod City, at about 6:25 p.m. Saturday.

Baby Jonmar Gonzales was rushed to the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital for vomiting and chest pain, hospital reports said.

The baby's grandmother reportedly mistook the kerosene for water because it was placed in a mineral water bottle, hospital reports said. Meanwhile, the body of Nestor de la Cruz Biasca, 50, married, of Brgy. Daga, Cadiz City was found in his room at about 2 a.m. yesterday, duty investigator SPO1 Mario Ecostan said.

Nobe Biason, about 25 years old, single, of Brgy. Vista Alegre, Bacolod City was rushed to the Corazon Locsin Montelibano Memorial Regional Hospital with minor bruises, Ecostan said.

Residents in the area told the police they saw Biason swimming in the sea before the incident. The police is still investigating the case.*DMG
