New
Year revelry injures 2 in Virac
Only
two persons were taken to the hospital for treatment of
firecracker-related wounds during the New Year celebration, at least in
the capital town.
The
report sent by Virac police authorities to Camp Camacho identified those
injured as 55-year old Cristina Teope of barangay Danicop and eight-year
old Felipe Magtangob of Palnab. The duo had burns and other injuries on
their hands due to firecracker explosions.
Police
said a check with the lone private hospital in Virac, the Zantua General
Hospital, showed that no other patient with similar wounds were admitted
to its emergency room for treatment.
Meanwhile,
another Virac resident has belatedly reported the loss of his car stereo
to thieves at the height of the annual Christmas Cheers at the town plaza.
Pulse
Computer proprietor Cesar Balane y Molod, 26, a resident of Sta. Elena,
told police that unidentified persons stole the Pioneer digital car stereo
installed in his Nissan pick-up while it was parked at the side of the
national road infront of Vakona Drug last Dec. 30 at 10:30 P.M.. Also
taken were two Frank Sinatra video-CD as well as one of Tagalog songs.
In
other developments, police hauled in nearly 50 pieces of illegally-sourced
lumber allegedly abandoned by their owners in two barangays last week.
Last
Jan. 2, 2001, Virac police chief Supt. Rande V. Rosero headed a team
composed of lawmen from the Virac police station and the Provincial
Reaction Force that confiscated 41 pieces of finished sawn lumber in
barangay Buyo. Three days later, SPO3 Felomino Magdaraog seized five
pieces of 2x6 lumber abandoned in barangay Bigaa at 1:30 P.M.
