A 17-year-old girl was found dead near a dike in Barangay Cardona, Gerona, Tarlac morning on Monday, July 7, 2025.
Joggers found her body past 6 a.m. and alerted authorities quickly.
The victim was identified later as a resident of Barangay Villa Paz.
Authorities are still investigating the cause of death.
Gerona DRRM Office Operation Chief Lino Diamsay II reminded the public of the dangers of staying out late during bad weather.
“’Yung below 18 years old, huwag na silang lumalabas sa gabi, lalo na po kapag umuulan, para makaiwas tayo sa anumang kapahamakan o anumang sakuna na maaaring mangyari sa kanila sa gabi,” Diamsay said.
