PAGADIAN CITY——A couple drowned as their car fell off a costal road and took a dive into the sea in Ozamiz City. Lt. Col. Shirwen Lapiz, Ozamiz police chief, identified the couple as Ferdinand and Teresita Halasan, residents of Barangay Triunfo in Ozamiz City. A police report said Ferdinand, who was driving, could have miscalculated the distance as he turned left toward the coastal road as they headed home. The car was discovered by passersby around 6 a.m. Friday, its rear protruding from the water. Rescuers recovered the unconscious couple and were rushed to the Mayor Hilarion A. Ramiro Sr. Hospital where they were declared dead.
