Mangingisda, patay matapos malunod sa Boac


BOAC, Marinduque -- Isang 33-anyos na mangingisda ang natagpuang wala nang buhay matapos mawala habang nangingisda sa karagatang sakop ng Barangay Laylay, bayan ng Boac, Marinduque.

Kinilala ang biktima na si Anthony Matimtin Lubrin, may asawa at residente ng nasabing barangay.

Batay sa inisyal na imbestigasyon, bandang 11:00 ng umaga nitong Miyerkules, Setyembre 24, umalis si Lubrin sa kanilang bahay upang mangisda subalit pagsapit ng 6:00 ng gabi, lumapit kay Lorimie Monreal Lubrin, asawa ng biktima, si Bernard Ashley Gundran, kapwa residente ng naturang lugar, at iniulat na nakita niya ang bangkang pag-aari ni Lubrin na palutang-lutang at walang sakay, humigit-kumulang 1.5 kilometro mula sa dalampasigan.

Agad na humingi ng tulong ang pamilya sa Philippine Coast Guard, Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) Boac, at Bureau of Fire Protection upang hanapin ang nawawalang mangingisda. Gayunman, dahil sa malakas na agos ng dagat dahil sa epekto ng habagat, pansamantalang itinigil ang operasyon at ipinagpatuloy bandang 4:30 ng madaling araw kinabukasan.

Dakong 5:57 ng umaga ng Setyembre 25, natagpuan ng mga awtoridad ang bangkay ni Lubrin sa ilalim ng dagat na nakatihaya, at may nakataling pabigat sa baywang na tinatayang aabot sa dalawang kilo ang timbang.

Patuloy pang iniimbestigahan ng mga kinauukulan ang pangyayari sa likod ng insidente. -- Marinduquenews.com

STA. CRUZ, Marinduque -- The newly completed road project in Brgy. San Antonio, Santa Cruz, Marinduque is set to significantly improve the transportation infrastructure in the area, offering safer and more efficient travel for both residents and commuters. The project, which spans 1,100 linear meters, involved the full concreting of the road and the construction of essential drainage systems.

The roadworks included the concreting of a 1,100-meter-long section with a thickness of 0.23 meters of Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP) and gravel shoulders on both sides. In addition, the project involved surplus excavation of 2,610 cubic meters of earth and the construction of a 1,070-meter-long line canal with stone masonry.

The project also featured the installation of a 27-meter-long Reinforced Concrete Pipe Culvert (RCPC) and 16.5 cubic meters of stone masonry to manage water flow effectively.

The newly paved road provides a safe and durable infrastructure for seamless vehicle travel, with notable benefits for both residents and commuters. According to a resident of Brgy. San Antonio, the road has made transporting products to different clients much easier and faster. The smoother road surface is a welcome change for local businesses, helping them deliver goods more efficiently.

Another local resident shared that the new road has significantly improved the daily commute, reducing travel time from Brgy. San Antonio to Sta. Cruz from an hour to just 30 minutes. This has had a positive effect on both residents’ daily routines and the overall transportation efficiency in the area.

The completion of this road project stands as a testament to the ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure in the region. By enhancing connectivity, this new road not only boosts the local economy but also promises a more convenient and secure travel experience for all who rely on it.

The project was funded through the General Appropriations Act (GAA) for FY 2023, reflecting the government's commitment to fostering development and improving the lives of Filipinos through sustainable infrastructure.
