from the Bohol Chronicle news:
Two persons died after they were washed away by strong water current while bathing at the famous Mag-aso Falls in Antequera town last Tuesday.
The fatalities were identified as Nielmark Flores, 23, of Aliguay, Marobojoc town and Al Benson Lupos, 21, of Dauis town.
The two were enjoying the cascading waters at the falls when suddenly heavy downpour brought rainwater like flashfloods which resulted to strong current that could even wash away pumpboats.
It brought residents of the interior towns of Antequera and Catigbian down the coastal towns of Maribojoc and Cortes to conduct search and rescue operations since the day the two were reported missing.
Even a team from BOEX, a local group of adventurers led by Roy Pernia joined the search together with the group of Lt. Col. Mendez.
The bodies of the two victims were found dead on the third day of search and rescue operation. The lifeless bodies of Lupos and Flores were found floating at the river in barangay Toril, Antequera while Flores' body was recovered in Busao, Maribojoc town.
Antequera Mayor Cecil Rebosura received the suggestion from well-meaning citizens to install an alarm system at Mag-aso Falls whereby bathers will be warned of impending heavy drop of water caused by continuous rains in the area. The said warning system will signal bathers to keep off the falls and stop swimming in the area.
