| Police speedboat searching for the Filipina at Butterfly beach in Tuen Mun |
By The SUN
A 25-year-old Filipina domestic helper drowned on Monday
afternoon, July 1, at Butterfly
Beach
The victim, Jenny Gonong Lacson, was found unconscious at 3:37pm
near the shark net that protects the beach, according to a spokeswoman for the
Police Public Relations Branch.
Lacson, whose identity was confirmed by the officer, was taken
to the Tuen Mun Hospital but was certified dead on arrival. The officer said
the exact cause of her death is still being investigated.
A search and rescue operation involving two police helicopters,
pump boats and officers on the ground was launched after Lacson’s property was
found on the beach shortly before 11am.
The search was widely reported on social media but some
confusion arose because of initial reports that the missing Filipina was found
asleep and drunk in a toilet at the beach. But police said they have no record
of such an incident.
Another confusion was due to the victim having nearly the
same name as her sister, who had left for the Philippines only the day before.
Jennelyn or Jen Lacson is reportedly the name of the victim’s
sister. The victim, on the other hand, was reportedly more known by her
nickname Aiza, although her real name was Jenny.
According to Jennifer Debaja who was among the first to report
on the case, Jen the sister, had informed her that the victim knew how to swim.
Thus the family was shocked to hear about the drowning.
Various social media posts said the Lacsons were from
Koronadal, South Cotabato.
