TWO sisters, aged 10 and 8, on Saturday drowned at a beach resort in Iba, Zambales.
A report to Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3) director Brig. Gen. Jean Fajardo by the Zambales police identified the fatalities as Tamy, a Grade 4 pupil; and Ahima, a Grade 3 student, both residents of Bgy. Maharlika, Taguig City.
The victims, together with their relatives, rented accomodation at Marimar Beach Resort in Bgy. Bangantalinga in Iba town.
A group of children went swimming in the sea but hours later, Miguel Dullas, 34, of Bgy. Danacbunga, Botolan, who was doing a repair in the kitchen of the resort, heard voices asking for help.
Dullas and other fishermen went out to the sea in their fishing boats to rescue the children.
The victims were found unconscious in the deeper portion of the sea.
An ambulance from the Regional Health Unit (RHU) immediately brought the victims to the President Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Hospital (PRRMH) in Iba, where the two were declared dead upon arrival by an attending physician.
