BAUKO, Mountain Province – The Bauko Municipal Police Station said Amanda and her brother Rafael, 16, a Grade 10 student, were on their way home to Barangay Sadsadan here around 5:30 p.m. when a large rock fell from the Mount Data and struck her helmet and her sibling in the left leg.
Amanda lost control of the motorcycle and crashed. They were taken to a hospital here where she was declared dead due to traumatic brain injury secondary to motor vehicle accident.
