They were brought to the Valladolid District Hospital but Rona was declared dead on arrival.
Her father was transferred to a hospital in Bacolod City for further medical attention.
Capt. Darryl Kuhutan, Pontevedra Police Chief, said that they are waiting for the victims’ family to decide whether they will file a case or not against the owner of the establishment.*
