Two women found hanging

CEBU, Philippines - Two women, including a 24-year-old pregnant wife, were found dead after they allegedly hanged themselves in separate incidents.

Maricris Tampon, 24, was found hanging at the ceiling of their house in Barangay Panadtaran San Fernando Sunday morning.

Ronelyn Gumban, 28, single, resident of S. Osmeña St., Barangay Gun-ob, Lapu-Lapu City and a native of Calamba, Misamiz Occidental, was also found hanging at the ceiling in a downtown pension house yesterday afternoon.

Marital problem was believed to have prompted Tampon to commit suicide using a blanket to tie around her neck.

Initial police investigation shows that Tampon and her husband Edgardo had a misunderstanding because the latter was drunk and attended a benefit dance when they went to a fiesta celebration last Saturday.

The couple allegedly went home from the fiesta at 5:00 a.m. already having a misunderstanding. Edgardo told the police that when he woke up at 10:00 a.m. he could not find his wife prompting him to look for her.

To his surprised he found her pregnant wife already hanging at their ceiling.

Another suicide incident happened in one of the rooms of L.A. Pension House at the corner Juan Luna and Manalili Streets yesterday afternoon.

Gumban was discovered by the pension house personnel already hanging at the ceiling of the room she occupies when they checked on her yesterday noon to ask if she was extending her stay.

Joana Cadungog, checker of the pension house, said the victim did not answer their call prompting them to open her room using the duplicate key.

 A suicide note was found on the bed indicating that she was sorry for her parents for not being a good child to them and to her siblings.  (FREEMAN NEWS)
