Subject: PAF man drowns after saving 2 siblings


CAMP PRESIDENT QUIRINO, Ilocos Sur – A junior officer of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) drowned Sunday morning after being hit by big waves after saving his two siblings who were first taken by strong water current at a beach in Barangay Libtong, Tagudin, Ilocos Sur.

Senior Inspector Napoleon Gao-ay, Tagudin town chief of police, identified the victim as First Lieutenant Mark Alvin Lagria, 29, a PAF officer assigned to the Camp Brigadier General Benito Ebien Airbase, Lapulapu,
Mindanao and resident of Barangay Lasud, Tagudin, Ilocos Sur.

The victim with his fellow PAF enlisted man, Sergeant Almar Laping, his cousin Darryll Murillo, 16; and his younger brother Daniel Lagra, 22, went to Libtong beach to swim.

While swimming at the beach at about 7:30 a.m., cousins Darryll and Daniel were taken by strong water current. The victim rushed to rescue them.

Upon saving his two siblings, the victim was hit by big waves and went missing at sea.

Police and the town’s rescue team retrieved the victim’s body. (Freddie G. Lazaro)
