Village Lass Commits Suicide

This 21-year old girl of Ambatali village was working in Manila for sometime. Last week-end she came home depressed--she and her boyfriend,  identified in her suicide note as Francis, had quarreled. On Sunday night, she was missing and her parents and relatives looked for her everywhere. She had jumped to the nearby irrigation canal of the Magat River Irrigation System. Her barely unrecognizable body was found by policemen two days later in an irrigation canal in Malapat village of  Cordon town, 18 kilometers away.
