A 43-year-old motorcycle rider and his 17-year-old companion died in a crash on the evening of March 16 in Sibunag, Guimaras.
The victims were identified as Arnolfo Ganancial, a resident of Barangay Sebario, San Lorenzo, and his nephew, alias Charles, of Sitio Lanag, Barangay Ayangan, Sibunag.
According to police, Ganancial and several family members had gone on an excursion to Javes Beach Resort in Barangay Sebaste, Sibunag, to celebrate his and his wife’s wedding anniversary.
