May is considered one of the months perfect for picking fruits especially mango and java plum or more locally known as “lomboy”.
However, it is also a time to observe extra care especially to parents who do not wish to receive news of their child falling off from a tree after trying to get these fruits to eat.
In Bohol, there were already two kids who are now at the hospital while fruit picking.
In Buenavista town, a 12-year-old boy from Barangay Bantuan fell off from a java plum tree after the branch that he stepped on broke.
He fell from an estimated height of about four feet.
In Inabanga town, another nine-year-old boy fell off while picking mangoes.
According to his father, he suffered a fracture on his right leg due to the fall.
Both are now at the Gov. Celestino Gallares Memorial Hospital recuperating from their injuries.
