A SUPPOSED exciting island hopping on Sunday turned into tragedy when a woman drowned in Bataan.
In a report to Police Regional Office 3 director Brig. Gen. Jose Hidalgo Jr., the Bataan police identified the fatality as Romella Anding, 44, of Langka St., Bgy. Malagasang 2-b, Imus, Cavite.
Police were told the victim, along with five others, went to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bgy. Ibaba, Bagac, Bataan for an island hopping adventure.
They were onboard a boat and when they are in a deep part of the sea, a strong habagat wind hit the boat causing it to sink.
