Four people were hurt after being struck by a rock that fell from a mountain.

According to a report by Susan Enriquez in GMA 7's 'Unang Balita,' the victims who were injured were also relatives.

The incident that left four individuals injured took place in Barangay Samareñana, Brooke's Point, Palawan.

Among those hurt were two minors, and all the victims were rushed to the hospital for immediate treatment.

According to the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office, it rained in the area which could possibly has caused the land to soften, resulting in rock fall.

Following the accident, they vowed to put hazard warnings in the area to avoid the same incident from happening again.

Meanwhile, all the injured victims were reported safe.

In the Philippines, mountain rocks can fall due to several natural and human-related causes.

Heavy rains or typhoons often loosen soil and rocks, especially in steep areas, leading to landslides or rockfalls.

Earthquakes, even mild ones, can also trigger falling rocks by shaking unstable mountain slopes.

Over time, natural erosion weakens the rock base and surrounding soil, increasing the risk of rockfalls.

Human activities like road construction, mining, and deforestation disturb the natural structure of the mountains, making them more prone to rockfalls.

In volcanic areas, ground movement or eruptions can also cause rocks to break away from slopes.

In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
