Police Regional Office-9, director Brig. Gen. Bowenn Joey Masauding, said victims’ tent with metal materials , they were to transfer to strategic spot in camping site in Zamboanga City hit dangling power transmission cable.
Electrocution incident in highland Abong Abong area left three students, Kevin Iquid, Geoffrey Atillano and Alvin Gaspar, dead.
Sources from Department of Education-9 and employees of Zamboanga City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) were quoted in radio reports as saying three of eleven other scouts transported by emergency responders to hospital for treatment of injuries due to accidental electrocution are in critical condition.
