A van and a multicab were involved in a head-on collision, leaving 2 people dead and 17 others injured.

The incident took place in Barangay Buko, Kinoguitan, Misamis Oriental.

According to a report by TV5's 'Frontline Pilipinas Weekend,' the van reportedly attempted to move away after the crash.

Two passengers from the multicab were critically injured and later died due to the impact.

Meanwhile, 17 passengers of the van were injured, including 15 minors who were basketball players.

They were supposed to play for the Mindanao Youth Basketball League. The injured victims are still recovering from their injuries.

The Mindanao Youth Basketball League (MYBL), officially known as the Liga Mindanao Youth Basketball League (LMYBL), is a regional grassroots tournament for young athletes aged 12 and 15, and in some editions, 18 and under.

Launched in Cagayan de Oro in July 2019 by the Manny V. Pangilinan Sports Foundation in partnership with Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas and local government units, the league aims to provide exposure and development opportunities for Mindanao’s basketball talent.

Teams from Cagayan de Oro, Bukidnon, Iligan, and Misamis Oriental have competed in league games aimed at fostering player growth and unity across the region.

By late 2020, organizers had formed MYBL tournaments for 12-under and 16-under categories across Mindanao, with support from experienced coaches, many of them former professional players, as well as local officials.

Their goal was to establish the league as Mindanao’s premier youth basketball competition, offering a valuable platform for young athletes to develop skills, build friendships, and potentially advance to international competitions.

In a previous report by KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. 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 school 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.
