Albay gov's mother dies in freak accident

The mother of Albay Governor Jose Salceda died after figuring in a freak accident Tuesday night, the head of the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council said Wednesday. NDRRMC executive director Benito Ramos said Mrs. Cielo Salceda succumbed to her injuries at a local hospital early Wednesday. "Walang kinalaman si 'Juaning.' Siya ay nadulas kagabi, umabot sa ICU kaninang 6 a.m. (Her death was not due to 'Juaning.' She slipped and was rushed to a hospital)," Ramos said in an interview on dzBB radio. He said the incident occurred in Legazpi City, where the governor is based. The younger Salceda had been busy in past days coordinating actions due to rains and floods brought by Tropical Storm Juaning (Hock-Ten). — RSJ, GMA News
