Police identified the fatalities as Ernesto Alburo, 15, and Raplh Vincent Gilig, 16. Alburo drove the motorcycle with Gilig as backrider. The two fatalities were residents of Nylon.
Injured were the driver of the other motorcycle Darwin Duhaylungsod of Bogo and his backriders Joey Baulunan and a certain Ariel of Palompon, Leyte.
Both drivers had no licenses. Alburo was too young to have a driver’s license.
