5-year-old drowns after falling into waterway in QC

A five-year-old boy drowned after falling into a raging river while playing in Quezon City.

According to Jun Veneracion’s report on “24 Oras” on Thursday, the boy was playing with his three-year-old friend in a vacant lot in Barangay Bahay Toro when he accidentally fell into the waterway.

The grandfather of the boy’s playmate said that the children were near a gap in the wall trying to reach for something when the five-year-old fell through and into the water. 

The mother of the three-year-old said that he could not save his friend because he was too heavy for the child to hold on to.

Barangay officials eventually found the boy’s body washed up in San Juan. — Ma. Angelica Garcia/BM, GMA News
