CEBU, Philippines- An underloaded round of ammunition somehow saved a 27-year-old factory worker who was shot by an unidentified person Sunday dawn in Barangay Poblacion, Carmen, Cebu.
Junvin Dorong, of Barangay Dawis Norte, Carmen, survived from a gunshot wound in the mouth.

“Minus og power ang bala, basin kuwang sa sulod sir o ang pulbora gisulod gikombenar. Ang bala sir naay baratohon, ug mahalon to’ng bala lapos to sir uy,” Aresco explained.
Initial investigation revealed that the victim was having drinking session with his friends when the shooting happened.
