40-YEAR-OLD man was hacked by his father-in-law

A 40-YEAR-OLD man was hacked by his father-in-law after they argued in a drinking session in barangay Dakit, Bogo City, northern Cebu.

Bobby Suico Verallo was wounded in the right forearm after he was hacked by Ernesto Piape, 62, Thursday night.

Police said the two men were drinking when they suddenly argued.

Police said Verallo was about to attack Piape when he was hacked.

Verallo was treated at the Cebu Provincial Hospital in Bogo.

Piape was arrested after the incident but was released yesterday after he and Verallo settled the case amicably.

AT LEAST four motorcycle accidents injuring five persons took place yesterday noon along Osmeña Boulevard in downtown Cebu City when crude oil was accidentally spilled.

The latest victims were a couple after their motorcycle crashed near the corner of V. Urgello Street, said Ilustrisimo Alberto Jr, traffic enforcer of Cebu City Traffic Operations Management (Citom).

Alberto said a fire truck went to the area to spray water and wash out the crude oil.

Alberto said it could be possible that the spill may have come from a tanker which passed by the area.

Citom head Rafael Yap said that Osmeña Boulevard is designated only for light vehicles. He said drivers of big vehicles caught using the road will be arrested.

Traces of crude oil were found in the middle lane of Osmeña Boulevard fronting the Community Hospital.
