ILOILO CITY -- Isang Filipino ang nasawi sa Thailand matapos itong makuryente dulot ng patuloy na pagbaha sa nasabing bansa.
Sa report ni Bombo correspondent Lanie Gayatao Gayo na nagtatrabaho rin bilang guro sa isang paaralan sa Bangkok, ang namatay na Pinoy ay nakilalang si Arnulfo Fernandez, tubong Mindoro at nagtatrabaho bilang singer sa Bangkok.
Aniya, nakuryente ang biktima nang bumaba sa unang palapag ng dalawang palapag na bahay nito para sana magtimpla ng kape.
Ayon kay Gayo, pinasok ng baha ang unang palapag ng bahay ni Fernandez at aksidente nitong nasagi ang grounded na electric wire ng refrigerator kaya’t siya ay nakuryente.
Sa ngayon ay nasa isang morgue na raw ng ospital sa Bangkok ang bangkay ni Fernandez at hindi pa nakukuha dahil malaking halaga ng pera ang kailangan para madala ang bangkay pauwi sa Pilipinas.
Ayon kay Gayo, nanghihingi pa sa ngayon ng tulong ang Philippine Embassy sa Filipino community sa Bangkok para madala pauwi sa bansa ang bangkay ng namatay na Pinoy.
Samantala, malaking bahagi na ng Bangkok ang pinasok ng baha ayon kay Gayo kasama na rito ang paaralan kung saan siya nagtatrabaho.
