EIGHT PEOPLE, including two children, died after the boat they were riding sank in Laguna de Bay near Binangonan, Rizal on Sunday, Oct. 29. Thirteen people, who were former high school classmates and their families, were on the vessel and were supposed to go to an area near a private fish pen to celebrate the birthday of one of the passengers when the fiberglass boat capsized. According to Noli Celestra of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office of Binangonan, the passengers were busy taking group selfies and didn’t notice that most of them were already on one side of the boat, causing it to lose its balance before quickly sinking in the lake. — interaksyon.com
