ZAMBOANGA CITY—Mayor John Dalipe called off a citywide Boy Scout jamboree here that began on Wednesday and was to run until Dec. 15, after 15 scouts suffered an electric shock, three of them dying while transferring a tent from the road on Thursday.
The budget carrier on Wednesday said it received an A320neo (new engine option) at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) on Sept. 13. Cebu Pacific was to receive a total of 18 aircraft this year.
The Pangilinan-led telco player is set to pay the complainants $3 million in total. “The settlement contains no admission of liability, fault or wrong doing by any defendant,” the company said in a statement on Thursday.
The 15 scouts were helping move a canopy tent from the roadside to the campsite at Freedom Park, Sitio Abong-abong, Barangay Pasonanca, shortly before 9 a.m. on Thursday when the tent hit a live wire, said the police in a report.
