3 drown in Camarines Sur as heavy rains hit Bicol 

LEGAZPI CITY — Three people drowned in separate incidents across Camarines Sur as the province experienced heavy rains caused by the shear line, local officials said.

The remains of two unidentified men were discovered on Monday morning in an irrigation canal near the Biong Spillway after floodwaters subsided in Barangay Biong, Cabusao town.

Hermoso Candelaria, the village chief, said the victims were riding an electric bicycle when they were swept away by floodwaters while crossing the spillway on Sunday morning.

Two others were also swept away but managed to survive, Candelaria said in a report.

Search-and-rescue efforts were launched immediately after the incident but had to be suspended on Sunday night due to continuous rains.

In Ragay town, the body of Jeremy Moldez, 39, was found around 6:30 a.m. on Monday.

Moldez had been reported missing since Nov. 30 after he fell from a bridge in Barangay Binahan Proper during a heavy downpour.

Floodwater also submerged the Apad Elementary School in Ragay on Sunday morning.
