A 10-year-old girl drowned while swimming at sea together with her classmates in Maasim, Sarangani. She and her classmates went to the beach right behind their school morning on August 6, 2026. "Ingon sa iyang ginikanan, gihapit daw sila sa iyang mga classmate unya wala pud nag-inform ang iyahang mga classmate nga mangaligo og dagat," said Arsen Kamal of MDRRMO Maasim. The child’s classmates reportedly did not notice that she had struggled in the water and when they did, none of them swam after her out of fear. Then, ang bata wala nabantayan sa iyang mga classmate nalumos, unya wala pud gitabangan sa mga classmate kay nahadlok," Kamal said.
