HAGONOY, Bulacan—A 28 year old man and his dog were killed after they were electrocuted due to high tide flood inside their house in this town last week.
Hagonoy municipal disaster risk reduction management office (MDRRMO) officer-in-charge Rene Crisostomo told NEWSCORE that Gene Darel Aguilar of Purok 2, Barangay San Isidro took a nap in his room after returning from work.

It was at around 5pm when he woke to go to the comfort room when he was electrocuted.
