Investigations as to how the sinkhole appeared are still ongoing.

Sinkholes occur when underground rock dissolves over time, creating cavities that eventually cause the surface to collapse.

Natural factors such as heavy rainfall, underground water flow, and droughts followed by sudden rain can weaken the ground, making it prone to sinkholes.

Human activities like excessive groundwater extraction, construction, leaking drainage systems, and mining also contribute to their formation by disturbing underground stability.

These collapses can develop gradually or happen suddenly, depending on the extent of erosion and ground weakening.

Preventing sinkholes involves monitoring groundwater levels, improving drainage systems, and ensuring responsible land use practices.

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.
