2 women drown in Malogos BY GILBERT BAYROAN Two more women were added Sunday to the list of those who have drowned at the Malogo River, which is described by some residents as a "mariit (creepy)" place, in Brgy. E. Lopez, Silay City, police said. The drowning victims were identified by the police as Eva Prinsesa Tagumaya, 32, and Kristine Pa-ala, 16, both residents of Brgy. Lantad, Silay City.
Police investigations show that the two were having fun and swimming in a deep
portion of the river, before they drowned at about 2 p.m. on Sunday. Silay police
chief Calixto Mabugat said the bodies of the two victims were fished out of the
water two hours later by rescuers, who encountered difficulties in retrieving
them. | |||
