CITY OF CAUAYAN — Two drunk men suffered first-degree burns after being set
ablaze at Maconacon town in Isabela province on Thursday, police said.
Recuperating from burns at the rural health unit in Maconacon was Fernando Sesuca, of
Dicatian village; and Acorda Cortez, of Dicaroyan village, both Dumagat and laborers
in Divilacan town, according to Sr. Insp. Frances Littaua, Isabela police spokesperson.
The two men were reportedly drunk and trying to deliberately start a fight in Malasin
village – a Dumagat community.
Alarmed, the community sought out Dumagat elder, Renato Castillejo. But when the
drunken men refused to heed his plea, Castillejo threw bottles filled with gasoline at
the rowdy men before lighting a match.
Castillejo surrendered to the police and will face charges of attempted homicide.
